Why Jesus Came

One little word can convey great truth. Consider today the word "shortly" that is found 15 times in Scripture. It is given in the first verse of Revelation and in the last chapter. This is what it means.

Have you ever wondered what we will DO for all eternity? The last page of Scripture gives us a little insight and it is exciting!

Every good thing comes from God and every good thing leads us back to Him. There are three things that will characterize the city where we will live someday and each of them reflect the perfect character of our God.

The greatest thing we will see in eternity is not a place, but a person: we will see Jesus! Let's learn what seeing Christ means for every believer.

I am planning to move and my future residence is grander than you could ever imagine! Listen as the Lord describes the future residence of believers. This is the place where we will live with Him forever...

Look at the list of those who will not go to heaven, and take careful note of who is first on the list. At the end of the story there are those who end fearful and those who end loving the Lord. How will you end?

Life is full of contrasts. Revelation 21 reveals a stark contrast between the eternal homes of those who reject Christ and those who accept Him. There two distinct groups of people with two destinations...and they are very different.

While there are many things that make home comfortable, there is one thing that makes it sweet - the presence of family. Heaven will be wonderful, but the one thing that will make Heaven home is the presence of our God.

When the Lord makes all things new there are many things that will be "no more." In this study we discover a list of many things God says will be removed. In eternity the curse of sin and all its effects will be gone forever!

The end of Revelation 20 shows us both the last mention of Satan but also the final destination of lost souls. We rejoice over the conquering of the Devil, but we weep for the many who will be seperated from God forever. It's final.

All of the kingdoms of this world will soon bow to the Kingdom of our Christ. Imagine what it will look like on the earth when our Lord rules here for 1,000 years! In this study we look at the millenial reign of the Lord Jesus Christ.

What is God going to do with the Devil? It is a wonderful comfort to know that Satan does not have free reign and endless power. There is coming a day that the devil gets "shut up."

History is full of war and conflict. When our King comes He will put down every enemy and conquer all. In this study we find out what will happen to Antichrist, the false prophet, and every one who stands against the Lord. It's almost over.

As we study the vivid description of Christ at His final coming it becomes increasingly clear that there has never been a ruler like this! He is righteous in every way and He is the rightful Ruler of all. As we see Him we learn to submit to Him.

Christ is the King of eternity, the King of glory, the King of heaven, the King of righteousness, the King of peace, the King of the Jews, the KING OF KINGS...but is He your King? 

All of our Lord's names reveal more about His nature. As we come to the end of time there are 4 names associated with Him that reveal so much about who He is. What is true then, is true now! Learn these 4 names and what they mean to you.

Why study prophecy? It is not to simply know detailed events or to satisfy our curiosity. One verse provides a key that unlocks all of the prophetical writings. Apply this and prophecy will not just fill your mind, it will affect your life.

In western culture the wedding revolves around the bride, but in ancient eastern custom it revolved around the groom. The last great wedding, the union of Christ and His church, will be all about the glory of the bridegroom - the Lord Jesus Christ! Let's meet all the participants today...

(Revelation 19:7-9) There is a marriage supper being planned in heaven. It will be the grandest marriage you have ever seen - the marriage of the Lamb! In this study we get a glimpse of the groom, the King of glory. And we see ourselves as part of His bride, the church.

(Revelation 19:1-6) Today we hear heaven's song! 4 times the word rings out: "Alleluia" - praise the Lord! Each Alleluia reveals something for which we will praise God forever, and something for which we can praise God now.

(Revelation 18:20-24) Wicked men may be rejoicing now but very soon their song will stop. At the end God turns their singing into sorrow and those who have been hated and persecuted will begin to rejoice. Look who's singing now!

(Revelation 18:8-19) It is amazing what God can accomplish in one hour. In a few verses the Lord reveals how quickly He will bring down Satan's world system. God is about to make short work of the devil!

(Revelation 18:1-7) The kingdom of the Antichrist will exert its influence over the entire earth during the Tribulation period. This system, referred to as Babylon, will carry out Satan's agenda throughout the world. But there is someone bigger than Babylon! God is greater and soon all will know.

(Revelation 17:1-18) The final government this world will see before the Lord rules is the kingdom of the Antichrist. This religious and political empire will do all that it can to fight against God, but Christ will conquer in the end.

(Revelation 16:12-16) Here we have our first introduction to the last battle this earth will see. The battle of Armageddon doesn't belong to Satan, the Antichrist, or any of the armies of the world. It is called "the battle of that great day of God Almighty." He will win.
