The Second Coming of Christ

The Rapture

The Tribulation

The Millennium

Pre-millennialism

Post-millennialism

A-millennialism

Pre-tribulationism

Mid-tribulationism

Post-tribulationism

The bodily return of Christ to the

earth in glory first as Judge andthen as King.The instantaneous gathering up of the whole Church from

the earth to meet Christ in the air and be with Him forever.

The period of 7 years before the second coming during

which there will be great suffering and distress on earth

as God pours out His promised wrath against sin.That period of 1,000 years revealed in Revelation 20during which time Christ will reign on earth in

fulfilment of the Abrahamic, Davidic and New

Covenants. It will be a period of peace, prosperity and

righteousness.

The view that the second coming will occur first and

then be followed by the literal fulfilment of the

millennium of Revelation 20The view that the world will be christianizedgradually and the Church will reign for a

millennium after which the second coming will

occur.

The view that there will be no millennium involving an

earthly rule of either Christ of the Church; the second

coming of Christ will simply occur at the end of history.The view that the rapture will take place in history

without warning, after which tribulation will begin

and be followed at its completion by the second

coming of Christ (Church will not go through

tribulation)

The view that the rapture will take place at the mid

point of the tribulation period, but the second

coming will occur at the end (Church will not go

through the 2nd half of tribulation)

The view that the rapture will coincide with the

second coming of Christ at the end of tribulation

(Church will go through tribulation)

Future ThingsIsrael in Gods prophetic program

Key truths to remember re: IsraelAbrahamic covenant relating to the land of Canaan

have yet to be completely fulfilled (Gen. 12, 15, 17)

Davidic covenant relating to a King on the Throne of

David forever have yet to be fulfilled (2 Sam. 7)New covenant relating to the regathering of Israel to the

land, religious renewal, and economic and political

prosperity have yet to be fulfilled but will be in the

Millennial Kingdom (Jer. 31; Ezek. 36)


13/20


Key truths to remember re: IsraelIsrael rejected Christ as King in His 1st coming thus

Christ postponed His Kingdom on earth until His 2nd

coming.

God caused a partial, judicial, spiritual blindness(hardening) on the Jews until full number of Gentiles

have been saved. Israel has not been rejected (Rom.

11:1; Rom. 11:25-32; Acts 13:47-48)

This Age, Church is temporarily Gods chosen

instrument to preach the Gospel (Jer. 31; Ezek. 36)


14/20


15/20


Key truths to remember re: Israel

Note: Although Israel has been disobedient throughout

most of her history, in every generation there has been

a believing Jewish remnant (Rom. 11:1-17) and God

has determined in mercy to save the elect Jew (Is.

59:20, Is. 45:17; Rom. 11:26-27; Dan. 12:1)


16/20

WHICH WILL IT BE?

C.S. Lewis put it this way, Someday everyone will stand

before God and one of two things will be said:

We will say to God Your will be done! (and be saved)

or

God will say to us your will be done! (and be lost)

Either God is your God or you are your own god! Each

person must make their choice and reap the

consequences.

AMEN,
