Revelation (11) The 2nd Coming & The Judgement

Pastor Randy noted that in Revelation 19, the proclamation, "Hallelujah" is repeated four times, signifying our worship of God. He also explained the correlation between the Ancient Jewish Wedding Ceremony and its 12 elements to our marriage to Jesus as His bride. In addition, Revelation 19 declares that Jesus' Second Coming will be as "King of kings and Lord of lords" and that He will be accompanied with the armies of heaven, that is, the saints of all ages, who are dressed in fine linen.

Four purposes of the literal 1,000 year Millennium are to:

1. Regenerate (Jer. 31:31-34)
2. Regather (Dt; 30:1-10; Isa. 11:11-12:6)
3. Repossess (Ezek. 36:28-38)
4. Reinstitute the throne (2 Sam. 7:11-16; Jer. 33:17-26)

At the end of the Millennium, Satan will be released from the Abyss to "deceive the nations" but fire will destroy all the enemies of God and usher in the Great White Throne Judgment, where there are two books - those books that record all the deeds of every person and the Book of Life. Is your name written in the Book of Life? If so, you will not experience the second death, which is to be thrown into the lake of fire. Instead, you will share in the Wedding Supper of the Lamb and live with God forever!
