We really jumped into what the end of the tribulation and beginning of the millennium will look like this past Sunday! The verses that we studied painted a gruesome and grim picture for the wicked when the Lord returns at the 2nd Advent. We will be with him in this triumphant return, but we will merely be observers, when he destroys the armies of the Antichrist, and all those that gather against him at the battle of Armageddon.
The verses are as follows:
1. Zephaniah 1:14-18 (the definitive passage on the Day of the Lord) 2 Peter 3:10-11 — Remember that the semi colon ; in v.10 covers the entire 1,000 years of the millennium. The 2nd half of the verse reveals God’s cleansing of the earth at the end of the millennium, in preparation of the new Jerusalem descending — Revelation 21 – 22.
2. Isaiah 63:1-6
3. Revelation 14:20
4. Revelation 19:15-21
5. Zechariah 14:12-15
6. Isaiah 11:15-16 (Romans 9:27, 11:25-26)
Please read Zechariah 14:16-19 and Isaiah 65:19-25 in preparation for this coming Sunday. We will take a look at how things will be in millennium and then get back to the task at hand, of finishing the 6 seals in Revelation ch. 6.
