The Second Coming of Jesus Christ
read pages 45-50 "Jesus is coming" by Diana Scheich
Rapture: happens before 2nd coming, we GO UP to meet Christ, saints are delivered from wrath, can happen anytime.
2nd Coming: happens after Rapture, Christ COMES DOWN to earth, unsaved will experience God's wrath, all the world must hear the gospel first.
Matt. 24:14, 29-31
Zech. 14 describes that after horrible persecutions and trials, Israel will recognize and receive Jesus Christ as their Messiah.
Rev. 14:20
Jesus will take His throne in Jerusalem and Satan will be chained for 1,000 years.
What is the Millennium?
It is the 1,000 year period when Jesus Christ will rule and reign from Jerusalem after the second coming. Rev. 20 (refers to this 6 times)
A time of PEACE, HEALTH, and PROSPERITY.. All resurrected believers will rule with Christ and be His ambassadors on the earth. Their resurrected bodies will be like Christ's and they will live forever. Rev. 20:6
No demonic influence or torment will be on the earth..
The people who escaped the upheavals of nature, wars, plagues and did not take the Mark of the Beast will repopulate the earth.
Read list of blessings that will be present then (page 49-50).
Christ will rule and judge the nations. The sheep nations(those who befriended Israel) will be allowed to enjoy the Millennial Kingdom. The goat nations (those who persecuted Israel) will be cursed and "go away into everlasting punishment" Matt. 25:31-46.
Zech. 12:10;13:1. The curse will be removed from the earth that entered because of Adam and Eve's sin.
Premillennialism: a belief that Christ will return at the end of the 7 year Tribulation.
Postmillennialism: a belief that Christianity will eventually defeat all evil and then Christ will return to rule and reign on earth.
Amillennialists: believe that the 1,000-year Millennium is symbolic and presently in progress.
.......The Millennial Reign is not the ending of the Story of the Ages. There will still be one more great battle followed by the New Heavens and Earth.
It's Getting Exciting Anticipating the Rapture of the Church,
Becky
