Study Guide: The Great Reset

Based on Genesis 41–47 & Revelation 18

Introduction

This study explores three “resets” in history:

1. Joseph’s Egypt (Economic enslavement).

2. Today’s Crisis (Digital currency, debt collapse).

3. God’s Final Reset (Spiritual rebirth and revival).

Key Question: How can we prepare spiritually and practically for coming challenges?

Session 1: The First Great Reset (Genesis 41–47)

Key Text: Genesis 47:13-26 (Joseph’s economic policies).

Discussion Questions:

1. How did Joseph’s plan save Egypt yet enslave its people? What warnings does this hold for modern economies?

2. Read Genesis 47:22. Why were the priests exempt? How does this compare to modern “elites”?

3. Jacob stayed in Canaan during the famine (Genesis 42:1-5). What does his choice teach us about dependence on corrupt systems?

Application:

• Spiritual Prep: How can we “store grain” (truth, community, prayer) for hard times?

• Practical Prep: Is self-sufficiency (gardening, skills, local community) biblical?

Session 2: The Second Great Reset (Today’s Economy)

Key Texts: Luke 12:15-21; James 5:1-6 (Wealth warnings).

Discussion Questions:

1. The speaker mentioned inflation as a “soft default” on debt. How does this impact your daily life?

2. Read Revelation 13:16-17. How might digital currencies enable control? What safeguards can Christians adopt?

3. The “deep state” in Egypt (priests) kept their wealth. Who holds power today? How should we respond?

Application:

• Trust: Where do I place my security—banks, possessions, or God (Matthew 6:19-21)?

• Action: Is it wise to diversify assets (e.g., tangible goods, barter skills)?

Session 3: The Final Reset (Revival & Rebirth)

Key Texts: John 3:3-7; 2 Chronicles 7:14.

Discussion Questions:

1. Jesus said, “You must be born again.” What does this “reset” look like daily?

2. The speaker linked revival to prayer and unity (Acts 2:1). How can your church cultivate this?

3. Read Revelation 18:4-5. Why does God judge Babylon? How can we “come out” of corrupt systems now?

Application:

• Prayer: Commit to praying for revival daily.

• Mission: List three ways to share hope (e.g., literature, acts of kindness).

Session 4: Surviving the Resets (Practical Faith)

Key Texts: Proverbs 22:3; 1 Peter 5:8-9.

Discussion Questions:

1. Jacob preserved his family by staying separate (Genesis 46:1-4). What might “separation” look like today?

2. How can we balance wisdom (preparation) with faith (trusting God’s provision)?

3. Read Hebrews 11:23-27. How did Moses’ choices mirror the “three resets”?

Application:

• Inventory: What distractions/attachments do I need to surrender?

• Community: How can we support each other practically and spiritually?

Session 5: The Hope of the Final Reset (Revelation 21-22)

Key Text: Revelation 21:1-5 (New Heaven/Earth).

Discussion Questions:

1. How does eternity redefine our view of current crises?

2. The speaker said, “You won’t store gold—you’ll walk on it.” How does this shift our priorities?

3. What role does persecution (Revelation 12:17) play in preparing God’s people?

Application:

• Legacy: What eternal “investments” (souls, discipleship) am I making?

• Courage: Pray for strength to stand for truth amid cultural pressure.

Closing Challenge

1. Personal: Begin each day asking, “Holy Spirit, reset my heart.”

2. Group: Start a prayer circle for revival in your church.

3. Action: Share a Bible study or book (Great Controversy, etc.) with someone this month.

Key Quote: “The only reset that matters is the one that prepares us for eternity.”
