The Revelation (ePub)

The Revelation focuses on the big picture that reveals what God wants his bond servants to know concerning their destiny. In The Revelation, God's thunder sounds and probes the future of his kingdom from the ascension of Jesus to his Second Coming. At a point in time to be determined by God, the faithful church that stands with Jesus on Mount Zion will hear his welcoming call "Come up here!" This call will herald the end of the church age. These redeemed souls will be led by Jesus to a special place he has prepared for them. All the rest of humanity will be left behind to endure God's wrath era. The unsaved souls who are left behind will hear their destiny at the Great White Throne Judgment. This final judgment to be executed by God will mark the end of times, and eternity for the redeemed saints will begin.

The thousand years pictures Satan in solitary confinement in the "bottomless pit." Simultaneously, the saints reign with Jesus in the place he has prepared for them. After the thousand years is complete, Satan will be cast summarily into the lake of fire and brimstone. God will then declare, "It is done," and the New Jerusalem will enter eternity as God's holy city on the new heaven and the new earth. In The Revelation, this big picture is opened for all the saints to contemplate. Read on...
