A Wonderful Day in the Lord

We are finishing Revelation 20 this time. We have seen the end of the Millennial Kingdom with the rebellion of Satan and his hoards against the Lord. We have seen them destroyed and Satan cast out. We come to the Great White Throne Judgment now. We have seen the judgment of the unbelievers. We are looking at that judgment. We are coming now to Revelation 20:14-15 to see the final destiny of those...

We pick up in Revelation 20 this time looking at the end of the Kingdom Age. We saw last time that the Kingdom Age ends with a great battle as Satan takes a multitude of people in rebellion against the Lord into a great battle against the Lord. They actually surround the city of Jerusalem, and apparently try to overthrow Christ Himself. They are quickly destroyed, and Satan himself is cast into th...

We have been spending several lessons on the Millennial Kingdom. As we come to Revelation 20:6, the Kingdom Age is now pretty much at the end. We are finishing things up and we are going to see how that concludes and leads us right into the eternal state of the eternal kingdom. Revelation 20:6, concerning the saints it says, “Blessed and holy is the one who has a part in the first resurrection; ov...

We are going to conclude our look at the Millennium by looking at the government of the Kingdom Age. The book of Isaiah talks about that quite a bit, so that is where we are going to start. What will the government look like? Well, there are a few things that are very important to our study. One is that Jerusalem will be its capital. While that might not mean a great deal to some of us, it meant a...

We continue looking at the characteristics of the Kingdom Age. We sometimes call it the Millennium. We saw four of those yesterday. There are dozens of them, I suppose, but I want to quickly move to five more this time. Starting with the description of fullness of the spirit in Joel 2:28, it says, “It will come about after this That I will pour out My Spirit on all mankind; And your sons and daugh...

We continue looking at the Millennium. There is so much in Scripture about the Kingdom Age that is yet to come. The age promised to the Jewish people in the Old Testament. The age that Christ came to offer. The age that the church looks forward to now. There is so much, but we are going to look at a few characteristics of the Kingdom Age these next several times. We are going to look at Old Testam...

We continue studying the Millennium. I believe it was Dwight Pentecost that said that of all the subjects and all the themes in the Bible, the Kingdom Age has the most material in the Bible by far than any other subject. If that is true, then we could spend weeks and weeks on this subject. We are hitting only the highlights of the Kingdom Age that has been promised by our Lord in the Old Testament...

We return to Revelation 20:4, and we are looking at the content given to us in this book on the Kingdom Age that is to come. We know that it is a thousand years because it says it is a thousand years six different times. We have seen already that the saints that have come out of the Tribulation Period are being judged. Now we are going to look at the resurrections. There is some interesting inform...

Last time we began to look at the third major section of the book of Revelation. Which are the things that are going to happen in eternity and beyond after the Second Coming of Christ, after the Battle of Armageddon, and after the Tribulation. What comes next is the Kingdom Age. The Kingdom Age in some respects takes place in two stages: 1. Millennial Kingdom There is the temporal Kingdom Age. Wha...

As we continue in our study, this time we are turning the corner to the Millennial Kingdom Age. As we look at Revelation 20, we will find that on six different occasions in seven different verses, the term “a thousand years,” is given as a duration of the Kingdom Age, and so that is where we get our term the “Millennial Kingdom.” As we take that duration, the thousand years, as literal it’s a mill...

We took a good look at the Second Coming of Christ as found in Revelation 19. We have seen a lot of good things. We saw the names of Christ. We saw the victories of Christ. We saw the descriptions of Christ. We now have looked at two of the three great victories necessary before Christ sets up His Kingdom on earth which will be found starting in Revelation 20. The first enemy defeated was all the...

We have been looking at the Battle of Armageddon and looking at the three great enemies that must be destroyed before Christ sets up His Kingdom on earth. The first enemy was the armies of the world that all come out to oppose the return of Christ and His rulership over them. Remember in Psalm 2 it says that the world has always resisted the ruling of Jesus Christ and of God. So, they continue tha...

As we continue to examine together the Second Coming of Christ found in Revelation 19, we have looked at the King – Christ Himself and His army which is the church in Revelation 19:14 that comes with Him. Now we are going to shift direction a bit and look at the King and His victories. There are three enemies that are found here in our text that need to be overcome for Christ to set up His Kingdom...

We continue our study of the return of Jesus Christ. This is the event we long for, pray for, and sing songs about. It is going to be a glorious thing for the people of God. In fact, we saw in Revelation 19:14, that those that are in the church now have already been raptured and taken to be with Him by this time, and now we are coming back with Him in clean linen and riding on white horses with Ch...

Last time we began the wonderful study of the Second Coming of Jesus Christ found in Revelation 19. We focused primarily on the names given to Christ in this text of Scripture. Four different names that describe who He is and what He is like. We learned a great deal about Christ through those names. Today we are looking at the actual descriptions given in the passage. There are seven of them and w...

We are looking at probably the most anticipated and talked about event in all of human history. That is the return of Jesus Christ to claim the earth and whole universe as His own as the absolute monarch. We know He is the monarch now and He is sovereignly in control, but for His own purposes, He has allowed sin to have its day. He has allowed Satan to be the God of this world at this point. That...

We are looking at the marriage of the Lamb and the marriage supper of the Lamb. It helps us to understand that in ancient times there were often three stages to their marriage ceremonies and wedding ceremonies: 1. Betrothal. There was the original betrothal stage which often was a contract between parents concerning their children. It was legally binding, but of course the children didn’t live tog...

As we continue in Revelation 19, we are looking at the marriage of the Lamb in Revelation 19:7. Perhaps we could say that the first six verses were the introductory music – similar to the introductory music we see at a wedding in our modern times – we could look at it like that. This is a time of rejoicing of Christ, and the Hallelujah and so forth. When we come down to Revelation 19:7, we get to...

So far, we have looked at the first couple of verses in Revelation 19 of what we call the great Hallelujah Chorus as the heavens and the earth are ringing out with praise for God for what He is doing especially in His destruction of all that have opposed him. I have a chess board that sits beside me here. The world has been playing chess with God for a very long time and has found itself often thi...

We are picking up where we left off last time in Revelation 19 as we look at what some have called God’s great Hallelujah chorus - at least in the New Testament, as we do have some similar things in the Old Testament especially in the Psalms. In the first six verses of Revelation 19, four different times we have various creatures and beings crying out “Hallelujah,” because all the systems that hav...

Revelation 19 is an unbelievable chapter in the scriptures as we look at the contrast between the first half of this chapter and the second half. It is a huge contrast. The first ten verse will be our focus first and we are looking at the redeemed in heaven. We find a great praise service going on. We see the marriage supper of the Lamb, and we see a joy on the part of the people. This is for the...

We complete Revelation 18 this time. This is an awful picture of the depravity of mankind and the judgment of God upon the world that has rejected Him. As we come to the end of Revelation 18, we are looking at the final announcement that the Lord has brought at this time. This is an announcement of joy. In Revelation 18:20 it says, “Rejoice over her, O heaven, and you saints and apostles and proph...

Revelation 18 gives us an ugly picture of the depravity of human nature. It has all come to a head at the end of the Tribulation Period. Ugliness was found in Revelation 17 with the apostate world religion called “the great harlot.” In Revelation 18 we see the fall of “Babylon the great” where the pollution and the immorality has totally infiltrated commerce, business, and politics to a degree tha...

We are looking at Revelation 18:9, and as I said there are four different announcements that we can identify in this chapter. In Revelation 18:3 we have the announcement of coming judgment. Then in Revelation 18:4 the Lord calls for His people to separate themselves from those who are corrupted by sin and those upon whom His judgment will soon fall. Now we come to Revelation 18:9 and we could call...

We are looking at the fall of Babylon the great which is the economic and political powers that the antichrist is leading, and Satan of course is behind. In Revelation 18 there are four announcements. There is the announcement of judgment that we saw yesterday in Revelation 18:1-3 which we covered last time. We pick up the second announcement, a call to separation for the people of God, beginning...
