The time we are in now. This time period stretches from the day of
Pentecost to the rapture of the Church.
This time period begins the Intermediate Heaven. |
The rapture of the church is outlined for us in the New Testament and
implied in the Old Testament. This is where overcomers (1Jo 5:4) will be
changed at the twinkle of an eye into our resurrected bodies.
Both those who are alive at His appearing and those who have died
before us are translated.
The Intermediate Heaven ends. |
The Bema Seat of Christ is the believers Judgment.
Our works, good and bad, will be judged.
The bad will be burned up as wood, hay and stubble and the good will
go on to become our rewards, including our crowns (1Th 2:19, 2Ti 4:8, Jas 1:12, 1Pe 5:4, Re 2:10, Re
3:11). |
The Great Tribulation, also known of the time of Gods Wrath (Re
6:12-17) where God will punish those who are not called by His name, who
have refused Him. This time is primarily a time to punish Israel and to bring
them to their knees (Ho
13:9-14:9) in recognition of the truth that Jesus is the
Christ, the Son of the Living God. Ends with the battle of Armageddon
Re 16:16 Har-Magedon |
The Second coming of Christ marks the end of the Great Tribulation.
This is a time where our Lord returns as King of the world as prophesied in the
Bible Isa 61:6.
This event marks the beginning of the Millennial reign of Christ.
|
This is the thousand-year reign of Christ on this earth.
It is a time where:
- Christ will reign on earth as King
- People will again live long lives like in the time before the flood
of Noah (Isaiah 65:20)
- The earth will likely return to a physical state much like it was
prior to the flood (Eze 38:20, Re 16:17-21).
|
Satan himself leads this battle as he rallies billions to battle
Christ one last time at the end of the millennium.
God dealt with man in many ways throughout our existence, no matter
how He has dealt with us we have gone astray, each seeking his own.
This battle marks the end of the old earth and is the last of
Gods proofs that mankind is wicked and only God is Holy.
|
Anyone not found in the Lambs book of life will be judged unholy and
thrown into the lake of fire along with Satan and his demons.
Believers are not judged at this judgment.
This is the end of all unbelief and marks the end of all mankind in
the flesh. No longer will men reject God and His Son or blaspheme the testimony
of the Holy Spirit that Jesus is the Christ the Son of the Living
God. |
Also known as the Eternal State.
A new or renovated universe will be the eternal home for believers. A
place where we will once again walk with Jesus in the Garden.
Where He will be our God and we will be His people and reign with Him forever.
The existence, which awaits us in heaven, cannot be completely
understood it is beyond our comprehension. |
