Ron Kidd

Midwest Christadelphian Bible School (1999)

This 1999 series takes listeners into the heart of Bible prophecy, examining what Scripture reveals about the events leading to the return of Christ and the establishment of God’s kingdom. With clarity and urgency, Brother Ron Kidd explores prophecies from Daniel, Ezekiel, Zechariah, and Revelation, showing how ancient visions shed light on the conflicts, controversies, and judgments of the last days. These messages invite believers to remain watchful, discerning, and faithful, ready for the day when the Lord’s promises are fulfilled.

Class 1 – The Day of His Coming

The opening class sets the foundation by reminding us that prophecy is not an academic subject but a vital preparation for the return of Christ. Through passages in Daniel, Revelation, and the words of Jesus himself, this class calls us to recognize the signs of the times, to remain clothed in faith, and to prepare for the day of the Lord that will surely come .

Class 2 – Set Thy Face Against Gog

This class examines Ezekiel 38 and the prophecy of Gog, exploring the northern confederacy of nations that will rise against Israel. The speaker shows how these prophecies fit into the broader picture of God’s plan, emphasizing that the invasion comes before Christ is enthroned, and that it will bring Israel to recognize the power and name of Yahweh.

Class 3 – No More Prickling Briars

Attention turns to the Arab nations surrounding Israel, often described as thorns and briars. Tracing their role in history and prophecy, the lesson highlights how hostility from Israel’s neighbors has shaped the nation’s struggles and how Scripture foretells a time when those thorns will be removed, and Israel will dwell securely under God’s hand.

Class 4 – A Controversy with the Nations

This session explores the meaning of Armageddon as the “valley of threshing,” where God gathers the nations for judgment. Prophecies from Joel, Micah, and Ezekiel are brought together to show how world powers will be humbled, Israel will be vindicated, and the glory of God revealed in the earth.

Class 5 – The Time of Jacob’s Trouble

The focus shifts to Israel’s future suffering, described by Jeremiah and Zechariah as a time of unparalleled trial. The invasion of the land by Gog and his allies will bring devastation, yet through this fiery trial God will purge, refine, and ultimately redeem His people. The class underscores both the severity of judgment and the certainty of God’s covenant love.

Class 6 – The Supper of the Great God

The series concludes with the vision of restoration: the deliverance of Israel, the defeat of her enemies, and the beginning of Christ’s reign. Drawing from Ezekiel, Isaiah, and Revelation, this final class shows how the scattered will be gathered, the rebellious purged, and Israel united under one king. The promise of a new heavens and earth shines as the ultimate hope for all who long for the kingdom.
