The End Times: Part II

Posted on May 18th, 2008 | 1 comment

1 Thessalonians 4:13-18, 5:1-6 & Revelation 20:1-15

1. Allow clear passages to interpret unclear passages
1. Do not make a major doctrine from one passage.
2. Allow the Biblical genre to speak. It will determine how to interpret the passage. Context is King!
3. Do not fear for those who have died in Christ. They are not lost!
1. They will come back with Jesus.
4. Is this passage about a “secret” return?
1. “Lord’s own word” (Gospels).
2. Be with the Lord forever.
5. Coming like a thief in the night.
1. Therefore be ready!
6. The issue of the 1000 years: The Millennium
1. Not mentioned elsewhere in the Scripture but here.
7. Much talk of Satan, the martyred saints, and reigning with Christ.
1. Satan is then defeated and there is judgement for the righteous and the wicked.

For some reading material on the three different views regarding the Millennium, head over to the Millennial Info page.

   Love having these mp3 downloads available! I can’t always be in the Service to listen to the live version. Plus I have that long commute to work, you know. It gives me something to listen to.

   Thanks for the mp3′s.
