Eternal Life

Lee Campbell

Revelation 21:1-4

After John describes Hell, he changes gears in this passage to focus on Heaven. The passage and other supporting verses in the Bible describe Heaven as: 1) "earthy" in some way, 2) interesting and relational, 3) living with God, and 4) free of brokenness. The importance of choice by every individual is emphasized. Christians are encouraged to think more about Heaven and look forward to it.

Scott Risley

Revelation 6:1-16

The first six seals have been broken. These are events of God's passive judgement on mankind that lead up to the tribulation and set the stage for the rise of the Antichrist.

God Claims His Own

Dennis McCallum

Daniel 9

John's vision now delves into a description of "The Great Tribulation". This is a period of time between the first and second coming of Christ, but specifically a seven-year period of trial near the end. This vision needs careful dissection to understand the symbolism behind this tribulation, the Abomination of Desolation, and the regathering of Israel. Daniel 9 is used as a reference to help aid this.

Final Judgment

Jeff Gordon

Revelation 20:11-15

John describes a scene where the Book of Life is opened, and the dead are judged by God. Anyone whose name did not appear in the Book of Life was thrown into the "lake of fire", which represents Hell. While considering different perspectives on Hell, Scripture is clear that Hell is eternal and a choice. God's wrath and goodness are questioned and explained, and Christians are encouraged to share the Gospel to help people make their own decision about how they want to spend eternity.

The Final Judgment

Gary DeLashmutt

Revelation 20:11-15

In John's vision of the final judgment, he sees that all those who are judged are condemned and sentenced to hell. Many raise objections to the idea of hell, but the Bible abundantly answers these. Contrary to the idea of many, living a good life is not what saves people but instead it is by receiving Christ's offer of forgiveness.

Who is Worthy?

Scott Risley

Revelation 4:1-6:2

The Great White Judgment sounds like a very scary time for people whose sins have not been covered by Christ's death. Why is God worthy to judge the entire human race? 1) God is all powerful, morally perfect, and eternal, 2) He has the right to do whatever He wants with His creation, 3) He is our savior; giving us an opportunity to be rescued from this judgment by His Son's substitutionary sacrifice on the cross.

The Seven Seals

Dennis McCallum

Revelation 6:1-17

John describes a scroll with seven seals that needs to be opened ? the consummation of human history. The Lamb of God is the only one able to break the seals, and the seals release forms of judgment. The first is conquest; the second, war; the third, famine; the fourth, death. The fifth and sixth seals released the martyrs and natural disasters. These first six seals mostly represent passive judgment where the earth is already in agony. The question that remains is this: as the situation worsens, will this tribulation period lead people to turn to God?

The Messianic Kingdom

Jeff Gordon

Revelation 20:1-10

John describes what comes after the end of the final battle: the Messianic or Millennial Kingdom. Christ rules this kingdom for 1000 years (which takes place before the New Heaven and New Earth) with social justice, and care for the poor. Spiritual enlightenment, joy, and biological change will characterize this era of restoration. In this time, the entire world will witness Christ as ruler, the evil heart of humanity will be revealed, and the power of God to destroy Satan will be displayed.

Who is Worthy?

Dennis McCallum

Revelation 4:1-5:14

John is given another vision that displays God's wrath and intent to judge. This passage leads believers and people curious about who God is to consider what justice means and if judgement is warranted on Earth. It also leads to some startling realizations about the world we live in today and how we are closer to this time than ever.
