Heaven

Jenny Hale

Revelation 22

Building off of John's description of the New Jerusalem, this passage describes the incredible future that awaits Christians in Heaven. Among the qualities listed are no more death, sorrow, crying, or pain; no more evil; and God's presence forever! This knowledge of eternity should affect Christians by encouraging them to want to see more people there with them. It also allows Christians to know that their suffering is temporary.

The Seven Trumpets

Dennis McCallum

Revelation 8:1-9:21

John's vision of the opening of the seals continues when the Lamb of God opens the seventh. Terrible disasters and wars occur, and demons are unleashed. Despite all of the evidence of God, people still do not turn to Him. John's vision is a warning of how living a life without God is always self-destructive and dangerous.

The Temple and the Two Witnesses

Scott Risley

Revelation 10:1-11:14

In the last days there will be a physical temple and two witnesses through which God will give a final plea to his creation as a whole to turn to him and receive forgiveness. These events are literal and we have current signs that could easily lead to the fulfillment of these prophecies.

Revelation and Christmas

Jeff Gordon

Revelation 21

Continuing to consider Heaven, this passage brings one to consider why God would welcome sinners into Heaven. Through this and other verses in the Bible, it is clear that He does this out of a desire to relate with His people. God created people in His image, and He worked through them to restore their relationship with Him. The new "Temple" is revealed to be God now dwelling with His people, instead of separately from them. There is a large reference from Tozer's "The Pursuit of God".

God Seals His People

Scott Risley

Revelation 6:12-7:17

Before Christ returns to earth, there will be a seven year period of suffering called the Tribulation. Right before the suffering comes, God puts a seal of protection on his followers that are left after the rapture. God never breaks a promise and always takes care of his people.

God's Eternal Kingdom (Part 1)

Gary DeLashmutt

Isaiah 25:6-9

The eternal kingdom of God will be a material place, will be primarily about relationships, and will be a place of healing. The main reason to believe that this will be a real place is because of God's flawless record of fulfilling his predictions. God says that entrance is absolutely free, and only requires asking God for the forgiveness purchased by Christ.

Eternal Life

Lee Campbell

Revelation 21:1-4

After John describes Hell, he changes gears in this passage to focus on Heaven. The passage and other supporting verses in the Bible describe Heaven as: 1) "earthy" in some way, 2) interesting and relational, 3) living with God, and 4) free of brokenness. The importance of choice by every individual is emphasized. Christians are encouraged to think more about Heaven and look forward to it.
