Revelation/End Time Questions

[PrettyboyAndy]

I had some questions regarding end times:

a - The purpose of creation is to be conformed to the image of Christ, and to give a people to the Son. Once those people are all saved, Christ will come back.

Will this happen before or after or during all of the Great Tribulation events/Signs?

b) Regarding the Millennium Kingdom, will there be people dieing from old age in this time? What will that be like? also let's say: as a believer I am alive during all the scary end time events/ or I was raptured whichever view you hold onto, would I be brought back for the millennium kingdom? Who will be there and why?

Thank you

Thank you

I think that you will find that the Revelation is as much a book about Christ as the rest of the Bible.

Be prepared to mature in your understanding of 'end times' by about a millennium!

Have you read this book?

 

[royal priest]

No, I have not. But Don has a great reputation in reformed circles particularly with regard to his Christ-centered teaching.

I have never met a man more devoted to the preaching of the Gospel of Christ. He was my pastor for over twenty years and I learned what it was to preach Christ sitting in the pew listening to him. I have preached for him many, many times over the years.

Good for you, brother. Looking over this book, it appears he takes Hendrickson's work to the next level. I' m seriously considering going through it with my wife.

I am sure you both would be blessed by it. Also you might want to look at his book called "Basic Bible Doctrine".

Just perused it. I appreciate his purposed yet popular writing style. His statements are pointed and well substantiated. He reminds me of the late J.M. Boice.

I wouldn't worry too much about a specific study of eschatology, rather, dig into the Pauline epistles. Learn how the Holy Spirit leads Paul to interpret and write about the old covenant promises. Many of the eschatological problems you'll run into with studying a "system" (dispensationalism, Amil, etc.) will evaporate when you understand the promises of God with a covenantal, Kingdom perspective.

Yours in the Lord,

jm

The church will be taken away before the tribulation. Jesus will return after this period. No one will die while Christ rules and sin will be at minimal levels during this time with satan locked up. Dr Hindson believes during this time the earth will be repopulated by those not with Jesus and these are the ones that rebel when satan is let lose again.

I recommend Dr Hindsons book on revelations. Revelations unlocking the mystery, i think it is.
