 Okay, welcome back after the break. Just before we went for a break, we were looking at the doctrinal significance of Resurrection and what it means to us today. So that was chapter 11. We completed chapter 11. Any of you have any questions? Any doubts? Anything that you'd like to add? Any thoughts on chapter 11? The silence. So what should I take the silence for? Did you all understand? Did you not understand? Are you all able to hear me? We can go ahead. Go ahead. Okay. Okay, so there are no questions. Nothing anyone wants to share. Anything you want me to explain again? Okay, if not, we'll move on to chapter 12. If you look at your notes, it's basically just a few sentences there with a few scripture references. And it says at the end of that lesson, it says that, you know, that the end time events or the details of the return of Christ and His rule on the earth will be taught in the course that is called as the end times. I think that is in your second year. So here we're just going to basically very briefly look at the end time events. We also have a chapter on this in doctrinal foundations. So if you really want to, you know, more detail study, then you can let me know. We could do that in when we're doing it in doctrinal foundation. I think it's just going to be the next chapter or two more chapters. And then we will be doing about the end time events. Okay. So we talked about Christ's death, His resurrection, His ascension to heaven. And that is not the end of what God has for us. He has promised to take us to be with Him. He also has promised that Christ will return just the way He was taken up, the same Jesus will return again. And we read about this in Acts chapter one, verses nine to 11. So can one of you please read Acts chapter one, verses nine to 11, please. Acts chapter one, verses nine to 11. After He said this, He was taken up before their very eyes and the cloud hid Him from their sight. They were looking intently up into the sky as He was going, when suddenly two men dressed in whites stood beside them. Yes, you can continue with verse 11, please Subashish. A man of Galilee, they said, why do you stand here looking into the sky? These same Jesus who has been taken up, taken from you into heaven will come back in the same way you have seen Him go into heaven. Thank you. So when we see that Jesus was taken up, the disciples are still looking, gazing, staring into heaven and the sky. And two men, the angels who stood there in white apparel, they said the same Jesus who was taken up from heaven will also come in like manner. That means in the same way you saw Him go into heaven. So Jesus will return for His Church, for His people to take us to be with Himself and we know that this is referred to as rapture. And the rapture will take place before the seven-year tribulation that the people of the earth will face who are left behind. But those who believe in Christ Jesus will be raptured up and will not go through that seven-year tribulation period. John chapter 14 was 13. Ephesians chapter 5 was 27. 1 Thessalonians chapter 4 was 13 and 18. So can each one of you read these verses please? John chapter 14 verses 1 to 3. Ephesians chapter 5 was 27. And 1 Thessalonians chapter 4 was 13 to 18. John chapter 4. Yes, go ahead. Go ahead Zillotoli. Okay, John chapter 14 verse 1 to 3. Let not your heart be troubled. You believe in God, believe also in me. In my Father's house are many mansions. If it were not so, I would have told you I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to myself that where I am there you may be also. Thank you. So here we see that Christ will come again and receive those who believe in him and we will be with him where he is. Thank you. Ephesians chapter 5 was 27. Ephesians chapter 5 verse 27. I read, in order to present the church to himself, in all its beauty, pure and fortlessness, without sport or income, or any other imperfection. Thank you. So when Christ returns, he will present us his glorious church as people who are holy without blemish, without any sport or wrinkle. Okay. 1 Thessalonians chapter 4 was 13 to 18. In one of you read that please. 1 Thessalonians chapter 4 was 13 to 18. Brothers and sisters, we do not want you to be uninformed about those who sleep in death so that you do not grieve like the rest of mankind who have no hope. But we believe that Jesus died and rose again. And so we believe that God will bring with Jesus those who have fallen asleep in him. According to the Lord's word, we tell you that we who are still alive who are left until the coming of the Lord will certainly not proceed those who have fallen asleep. But the Lord himself will come down from heaven with a cloud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. And that we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever. Therefore encourage one another with these words. Amen. Thank you. So Paul is talking about the rapture and what's going to happen when Christ returns. He mentions about this in 1 Thessalonians chapter 4 was 13 to 18. How Christ will come and how those who are alive and those who are will be caught up with him in the clouds will meet the Lord in the air. And those who are also dead will rise first and then those who are alive will also be caught up with him in the air. They will meet Christ and will be with him. And we know that after the rapture happens will be the seven year tribulation period. And after the end of the tribulation period we know that Jesus will return back and he will establish his kingdom here, the millennium kingdom here on earth where he will rule and reign and we all will be here on the earth will rule and reign with Christ for a thousand years. And then during this millennium rule we know that Satan will be bound. Satan and Antichrist will be thrown into hell for a period and after the thousand year rule they will be released again and they will continue tempting those who have been living in the millennium kingdom for a thousand years and some of them who have lived in the thousand year period with Christ who have seen his reign, the beauty, his glorious reign of Christ will yield into temptation again and finally there will be the great white throne judgment after that where those who put their faith in God, who those who trusted in him will live with him eternally in heaven and those who do not will be thrown into hell. So Revelation chapter 20 verses 1 to 4, can somebody read that please? Revelation 20 verse 1 to 4, then I saw an angel coming down from heaven having the key to the bottomless beat and a great chain in his hand. He laid hold on the dragon that serpent of all who is the devil and satan and born him for a thousand thousand years and he cast him into the bottomless beat and shot him up and set a seal on him so that he should deceive the nation no more till the thousand years were finished. But after these things he must be released for a little while and I saw okay man till three or four. Yes, it was four and I saw thrones and they sat on them and judgment was committed to them and then I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for their witness to Jesus and for the word of God who had not worshiped the beast or his image and had not recipes mark on their foreheads or on their hands and they lived and ringed with Christ for a thousand years. Thank you so that's basically just in very very brief about the end time events or the promise his promise return okay but we will be you will be doing a more detailed study about this in the course the end time end times and we will also be studying a little more about this in the doctrinal foundation okay so any questions any doubts on this chapter it's very brief though it's basically it's crisis ascended he will again come back in the same way we saw him go into heaven we know that there is going to be that's called a rapture when we when Christ will come in the clouds and those of us who are alive who know him will be caught up in the air those of them who are dead will resurrect will also be caught up in the air with him and then after that is the tribulation period that happens which is for seven years the first half of the tribulation which is basically the coming of the antichrist and you know the false prophets that will arise that's mentioned in Revelation chapter 13 was 11 so approximately during that time another man will come up in the forefront as a great spiritual leader somebody who's respected admired by everyone and we see that the second half of the tribulation he will be revealed as the false prophet and that's this is what is spoken about him in Revelation chapter 13 was 11 and then shortly after the antichrist and the false prophet come to power on the earth you know in heaven Jesus Christ will take the scroll that is in their hands and begin in the hand of God Almighty we we read this in Revelation chapter 6 was 7 and 8 where the seals will be opened the opening of the seals and you know the first four seals will be opened and God's judgment will be unleashed on the earth and it will bring about large scale destruction and death okay we read about this in Revelation chapter 6 7 was 7 and 8 and the remaining two seals only the first four will be open in the first half the tribulation the second half tribulation there will be the other two seals that will be opened during the first half the tribulation there will also be the two witnesses so while the four seals are being unleashed upon the earth God will simultaneously raise up two witnesses in Jerusalem to deliver people from the judgment so we see that the mission of these two main witnesses is to inform people that the judgments taking place are directly from God and you know anyone who chooses to follow Jesus will be saved from a greater judgment in hell and these two witnesses will perform extraordinary miracles to prove that they are sent from God and we see that because of their witnesses many Jews and Gentiles will accept Jesus as their Lord and Savior during the tribulation those who are left behind we read about this in Revelation chapter 11 verses 5 to 6 and then we see that the persecution of the Christians will happen those who are left behind you know Antichrist will use his influence to persecute the Christians their faith and there will be intense persecution that they will face they will die horrible deaths again this is written in Revelation chapter 6 verses 9 to 11 then the two martyrs the two witnesses will be sorry two witnesses will be martyred their bodies will be left dead in the streets of Jerusalem you know so we see that you know there will just be left dead over there so but however after the three and a half days after three and a half days they will the breath of life from God will enter them they will stand on their feet and they will cause terror to those who are seeing it and then there'll be a loud voice from heaven which will say come up here and there will be there will go up to heaven in a cloud and all their enemies who you know martyred them will look upon them in awe and they'll be really amazed and stunned we read about this in Revelation chapter 11 verses 11 and 12 and there'll be an earthquake in Jerusalem then Satan will be thrown down to the earth and the second half the tribulation which will happen which will be opening of the the fifth and the sixth seal and there will be you know mass devastation that will be happening on the earth earthquakes that will happen and you know many people will be killed because of this and they will realize that it's God's judgment upon them the world leaders will be filled with fear they will long to escape the judgment of God and then we see that satan himself will indwell in antichrist and antichrist will destroy you know destroy Babylon the great that's spoken about in Revelation chapter 18 verse 10 but if you really see this you know all the nations the powerful nations will fully cooperate with antichrist supporting him his world government so now since satan has possessed antichrist he will declare war against this nation which is symbolically referring to the Babylon in the in the bible and will be successful in destroying it and we know that antichrist will declare himself as god you know he will overtake the Jerusalem temple which by this time will be rebuilt in the same format that god had given David and Solomon had built it and his so the world head headquarters will move will now shift to Jerusalem and we see that the idol of antichrist will be created he'll desecrate the the temple the altar the sacrifices there will be the mark of the beast and then you know you know putting on the mark of the beast on the forehead then we see the opening of the seventh seal and the seven trumpet judgments the seven bowls of plague when the seven trumpet is sounded then antichrist will initiate his plan for war against god and then there will be preparations for the war at Armageddon and then we see the battle of Armageddon in the second coming of Jesus and satan of course will be defeated and he satan antichrist and the false prophet will be thrown into hell where they will be there for a short time we read this in Revelation chapter 20 verses 22 and 3 and all the unbelievers who participated in the battle of Armageddon will be killed and sent to hell and then we see that you know the thousand year millenium kingdom will be established here on earth where Christ himself will fool and after the thousand year millenium kingdom we see that satan will be released from you know from the from hell and he will deceive many again and then there will be the final the battle of Gog and Megog the final judgment of satan heaven and earth will vanish and then we'll have the great white throne judgment and a new beginning so that's just basically very briefly that I've just gone through because you will be learning in detail about the end time events but if you want me to explain anything then I could do that can you please explain Revelation chapter 20 verses 4 to 7 when thousand year effects yeah that's a that's a very good question so Zillatoli's question is you know saying that can you please explain Revelation chapter 20 verses was 4 and was 7 right Zillatoli yeah verse 7 actually okay verse 7 when the thousand years have expired or has ended satan will be released from his prison I was just thinking why would God release satan again so we see that in the thousand year millenium kingdom only believers will be part of that you know millenium kingdom where they will experience you know the you know they will experience the rule and the reign of God and during that time children will be born and children will have the privilege of being born into a perfect world where there will not no suffering or poverty everything will be available in abundance for them but in spite of the perfection in their lives in spite of you know the perfect loving rule of Christ we see that you know they will find themselves tempted by their sinful nature that is inside them because you know they are you know still human they're born in sin but we know that during the thousand year period you know these children who are born the youngsters millions of them were born will not commit any sinful deed in spite of their sinful nature that is in them the two reasons why this will happen the first one is because God will not permit any sin absolutely no sin no disobedience like we read in Revelation chapter 19 verse 15 he says that he will rule them with an iron scepter with an iron hand you know there will be perfect obedience and also they will not you know give into the sinful nature will not yield into temptation because satan is lying bound in the abyss and there won't be anyone to deliberately tempt them to sin against God but we see that soon as satan emerges from the abyss he will you know begin his job of deceiving other people once again so at this time the whole new generations that are born during the millennium you know will have an opportunity to prove their loyalty to to Christ but those who give into satan very sadly will fall into his trap so you know this a time where you know God also wants to to it's like a part it's so to say not in a very negative way but God will allow this as a final proof that the heart of man is desperately wicked and can be changed only by God's grace you know so people who have been living in the perfect environment perfect government of God's son they will rebel against their king it will show that they obey God during the millennium because they did not have any choice but when they have a choice are they really able to prove their loyalty to Christ okay and so we see that satan will lead many in his final attempt to rebel against God but during this last stage or this last rebellion it really will show who is totally loyal to God who's totally faithful to him and those who are honestly seeking him and wanting to follow him compared to those who just followed him because of the iron rule or the iron scepter and they had to obey there's no way they could disobey and so God wants to know who totally him who belong to him and who are loyal to him yes and also to show that man's heart is utterly wicked and they can only be saved by the grace of God it's a good question but this is a answer which can be a little hard for all each of us to digest but that's how God has ordained it in his sovereignty in his plan in his will thank you for that observation and questions literally very good question anyone has any other questions so just basically briefly went through what is going to happen at the end time events it's not a detailed study anyone has any questions any doubts no questions so all of you are going are happy that you all will be raptured that we all will be raptured we don't have to go through the seven year tribulation period which is going to be really terrible is not the word to use I mean it's it's more larger than that word terrible and will also be part of the millenium kingdom of God where we will live under his perfect reign and his perfect role okay there are no more questions no questions the end times okay if there's no questions then we'll just fix a date for our second assessment which will be chapters with the first assessment we did chapters one to four that is the pre-existence of Christ's equality with the father and the spirit will he split the role in his sorry Christ role in creation and his promise of his coming again so the second assessment will have chapters five six seven and eight which is understanding the incarnation the
