Study to Show thyself approved unto God......2nd Timothy 2:15
Many are hungry for Power, fame, wealth, and earthly things that perish. Mark 8:36 says what shall it profit a man if he gains the whole world and lose his own soul? Or what shall a man give in exchange for his own soul? (Verse 37). We should remember that it is God who giveth Power to get wealth and promotion comes from above. When he lifts you up no one can bring you down.
On the 23rd of July 2014 Mr. Daniel Baker of the University of Colorado reminded the world from the Nasa Head line News about the narrow escape of the earth from a solar blast of July, 2012. He said the storm was big enough two years ago, to take us back to the 18th Century. The future holds something, it is not empty as some people think. 2nd Peter 3:10 reminds us of what the future holds. That is why every Bible student should be thrilled to be able to read about events that are still future. Only in the Bible is the future unfolded. In this lesson, we shall consider some of these events in the order in which they will happen.
1. CHRIST'S COMING FOR THE SAINTS ( 1Thess 4: 13-18)
The next event to occur is the coming of Christ to take His people home to heaven.This is known as the Rapture. Christ will descend from Heaven. The bodies of believers who have died will be raised. Living believers will be caught up with them to meet the Lord in the air.
2. THE TRIBULATION. ( Mathew 24: 5-31)
After the Rapture, the earth will experience the period of great suffering and sorrow known as the Tribulation. A great evil ruler will arise known as the Antichrist ( meaning against Christ) He will demand worship from the people. It will be a time of such great suffering that unless the days were shortened, no life would survive.
3. CHRIST COMING TO REIGN. ( Malachi 4:1-3)
Towards the end of the Tribulation period, The Lord Jesus will come back to the earth in a great power and glory. He will destroy His enemies, including the Antichrist and judge those nations which persecuted faithful believers. Satan will be bound in the bottomless pit for 1000 years.
4. THE MILLENNIUM. ( Isaiah 32:1, Isaiah 35: 1-7 Isaiah 65:17-25)
When his work of judgement has been completed, Christ will set up His Kingdom on earth. Jerusalem will be His Capital. He will reign on the earth for a thousand years. This period is known as the millennium. It will be an era of peace and happiness. The desert will blossom like the rose. Men will leave to very old ages.
5. THE JUDGEMENT OF THE GREAT WHITE THRONE. ( Revelation 20: 11-15)
At the end of Christ's 1000 years reign, the juudgement of the Great white throne will take place. This is the judgement of the wicked dead. No saved person would be involved. The graves would give up the bodies of unbelievers, and the hades or hell will give up their souls. They will then stand before Christ to be judged.
6. ETERNITY. ( Revelation 21: 1-8 )
The final picture of the future is the Eternal State. The earth as we know it, will have been destroyed by fire. Times as we know it, will have ceased.
In conclusion, if we know that all these would happen, what type of life style should we live. Don't let no one fool you. It will happen. If you are not saved and you need Jesus in your life or if you are a backslider and you want to come back to the Lord, pray this prayer after me. Lord Jesus I thank you for your message. I invite you into my heart, I admit my sins, forgive me lord, I receive you today as my personal sviour, I promise to serve you all the days of my life. Thank you for saving my soul. Amen.
