Part 1

The Big Perspective

Eternity

  • It’s set in our hearts (Ecclesiastes 3:11)
  • It’s in contrast to man’s lifespan (Psalm 39:4-7)
  • God is eternal (Psalm 90:2; Job 36:26; Revelation 1:8)
  • Jesus is eternal and gives us eternal life (John 8:58; 1 John 5:11; John 17:3)

Timeline of Man

  • Creation lasted six days
  • One day is as a thousand (2 Peter 3:8-9)
  • The last 6000 years
    • Adam to Abraham (2000 years)
    • Abraham to Jesus (2000 years)
    • Jesus to the man of lawlessness/antichrist (2000 years)
  • What’s next
    • Rapture
    • 7-year Tribulation
    • Second Coming
    • Millennial Reign

Everything prophesied about Jesus’ birth, ministry, life, death, burial, and resurrection were fulfilled in approximately 300 instances. Therefore, the future events yet to come, WILL be fulfilled. 

What will be the indicators of these things coming to pass?

Two Parallel Plot Lines
  • Israel
  • The Church
  • With Jesus as the central character

‘You must take the A Train
To go up to Sugar Hill way up in Harlem
If you miss the A Train
You’ll find you missed the quickest way to Harlem’

The Big Picture

God’s story relating to humankind is eternal

Parallel Plot Lines

Israel’s story and the Church’s story connected by the central character, Jesus Christ

The Rapture of the Church

The A Train – the quickest and first group to depart the earth and meet the Lord in the air

Timeline of events as relating to the Jewish feasts

The rapture to be expected at the time of the feast of trumpets

The Tribulation

  • For those who remain, not part of the Church
  • Seven years in length
    • One world
    • Government
    • Economy
    • Rulership
  • Purpose
  • To persuade as many as would choose Jesus
    • Noah saved before destruction
    • Lot saved before destruction
    • The Church raptured before Tribulation
    • The remaining rescued before the Valley of Decision (Joel 3:14)

As bad as the Tribulation will be, and it will be bad, it’s better than an eternal hell

  • 1-3 Addressed to the Church
  • 4 Rapture
  • 5-19 Tribulation
    • The Breaking of the seals
    • The Antichrist
    • WWIII
    • Famine

    • And more
