  26. As we look at the Second Coming, let us recall what we learned of Apocalyptic Literature

  27. Revelation 5:6

  28. Revelation 5:6LAMB – midst, standing, slain • Seven horns • Seven eyes • Seven spirits of God (sent out into all the earth)

  29. Tribulation Judgments Revelation 5:Christ seen at the onset of the judgments SEALS TRUMPETS BOWLS Revelation 19:Christ seen at the closing of the judgments

  30. Revelation 19:11-16 • White horse • Faithful and True (Righteous – judge; war) • Eyes as a flame of fire • Robe dipped in blood • Armies follow – in fine linen white/clean • Out of His mouth goes a sharp sword

  31. In the book of Revelation: The second coming: half a chapter The millennial reign of Christ: two verses The great white throne judgment: five verses.

  32. In the book of Revelation: The second coming: half a chapter The millennial reign of Christ: two verses The great white throne judgment: five verses. Must look to many other Scriptures to get details of what will happen at these events

  33. SPIRITUAL

  34. Things that characterize the Millennium Miraculous powers commonplace: for good Protection Freedom from oppression Labor (the good kind!) Economic prosperity Unified language Manifest presence of God Fullness of the Spirit Righteousness will reign Peace Joy Holiness Glory Comfort Justice Full Knowledge Instruction Removal of the curse Sickness removed

  35. How does this affect me? Understanding Scripture – knowing the ending is important! (Think of knowing the ending of a movie.) Encouragement as we see political history unfolding Seeing prophesies taking shape Seeing the dismal hope of human government The world not getting better The United States’ role or lack Think like Dr. Garnes – wait for “my Man” to reign

  36. Millennium Versus Eternal State In the millennium, righteousness will REIGN In eternity, righteousness will DWELL

  37. Millennium Versus Eternal State In the millennium, the sin nature exists (in those not yet glorified). In eternity, sins and SIN will be no more

  38. Millennium Versus Eternal State The millennium will last 1000 years The eternal state will have no end

  39. Millennium Versus Eternal State In the millennium, death is the exception (people will live long) In eternity, there will be no more death

  40. Millennium Versus Eternal State In the millennium, the sun will exist In eternity, there will be no more sun

  41. Millennium Versus Eternal State In the millennium, animals will live delivered from the curse. (Lion eat straw – wolf / lamb) In eternity, there is not the mention of animals being there

  42. Millennium Versus Eternal State In the millennium, death is the exception (people will live long) In eternity, there will be no more death

  43. Millennium Versus Eternal State At the start of the millennium, all will be saved. At the end there will be a host of unsaved (among those born in the millennium) In eternity, there will only be the saved always

  44. Millennium Versus Eternal State In the millennium, some will be in glorified bodies, some will be in natural bodies (able to reproduce) All saved inhabitants will be in glorified bodies, not subject to pain or death

  45. Millennium Versus Eternal State In the millennium, Christ reigns, but there are still enemies and the enemy of death still exists In eternity, there will be no more enemies

  46. Millennium Versus Eternal State In the millennium, there will be no sickness (Isa. 33:24) unless Divinely inflicted (Zech. 14:18; Isa. 65:20) No more sickness or pain (Revelation 21:4)

  47. Millennium Versus Eternal State False religion is not tolerated by the King. True worship is strictly enforced (Zech. 14:16-19) True worship only and forever (Revelation 22:3)
