Basics #6

Intro:

One of the topics that most people are interested in is, ‘What will happen when Christ returns?”

It has caused debates

The debates have centered around the return of Christ, the millennium, the final judgment, Heaven and Hell.

The study of these events is called eschatology, or the study of last things

Eschatology = Study of Last Things

Jesus told his disciples he would return to earth a second time

John 14:3 ESV

And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and will take you to myself, that where I am you may be also.

No one knows when he is coming back

Mark 13:32 ESV

“But concerning that day or that hour, no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.

Events at the Return

Amillennial

The theological position that there will be no 1,000-year earthly reign of Christ after his second coming. It suggests that references to a millennium for the period between Christ’s ascension and second coming are figurative.

Postmillennial

A Christian eschatological view that interprets the millennium as a future period during which Christ will reign spiritually through the church's influence before his second coming.

Premillennial

The theological position that Christ will return prior to a thousand-year earthly reign characterized by a utopian peace.

Dispensational In Christian eschatology, a view posing that there is a distinction between the Church and Israel, and that Christ will return to take up Christians into heaven before a seven-year worldwide tribulation.
