He will demand that all men worship him and receive his mark. No one will be able to buy or sell without his mark. Through his miraculous power, the Antichrist will gain control of the whole world. The Antichrist will perform great miracles, but his power will not come from God his power will come from Satan. The word “anti” means “against,” and the Antichrist is against God and against Christ. This terrible time is known as “the Great Tribulation.”ĭuring this time, a man called “the Antichrist” will come to power. One-third of the inhabitants of the earth will be killed. There will be terrible wars, famines, earthquakes, and pestilences such as the world has never seen before. While the believers are in Heaven with Christ, the unbelievers will go through a time of great trouble here on the earth. As the Bride of Christ, we will be joined to the Lord Jesus-to love Him and to be loved by Him forever. There is no way for us to describe how beautiful and wonderful this event will be. The Marriage Supper of the LambĪfter the judgment of the believers, “the Marriage Supper of the Lamb” will take place. Others will be ashamed because they did not live for the Lord. Some believers will receive great rewards at this judgment because they were faithful in serving the Lord Jesus. This judgment is called “the Judgment Seat of Christ,” and is for believers only. There they will be judged for what they have done after they were saved. The believers will go to be with the Lord Jesus in Heaven. And thus we shall always be with the Lord.” 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17 Believers Will Be Judged Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. “For the Lord Himself shall descend from Heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trumpet of God. This includes both those who have died and those who are living when Christ comes. In a moment, “in the twinkling of an eye,” every believer will be caught up to meet the Lord in the air.
When Christ comes to take His believers to be with Him, He will come suddenly and unexpectedly-like “a thief in the night.”
Two men shall be in the field the one shall be taken, and the other left.” Luke 17:35-36 Christ Will Come Suddenly “Two women shall be grinding together the one shall be taken, and the other left. The believers will go to be with the Lord Jesus the unbelievers will be left behind. When Jesus comes again, there will be a great separation-the believers will be separated from the unbelievers. What will happen when Jesus comes? What will happen to the believers? What will happen to the unbelievers? Does anyone know when Jesus is coming? How can we be ready for His coming? These are good questions, and we will find the answers to them in this lesson. “Men of Galilee, why do you stand gazing up into heaven? This same Jesus, who was taken up from you into heaven, will so come in like manner as you saw Him go into heaven.” Acts 1:11įrom these verses we know that Jesus is coming again and that He will come again in the same manner in which He ascended into Heaven. When Jesus ascended back into Heaven after His resurrection, two angels appeared to His disciples and said to them, And if I go and prepare to place for you, I WILL COME AGAIN, and receive you unto Myself…” John 14:2-3 Jesus is coming again! How do we know? Because He said so! Jesus said,
"Behold, the Lord comes with ten thousand of His saints." (Jude 14)
