Before He ascended into Heaven Jesus promised that He would return a second time. The book of Revelation records the events which are to happen.
Some people have portrayed the return of Christ as a frightening event, as a time when God unleashes his anger and everyone suffers greatly. When Jesus returns He will take his followers, those who have believed that Jesus Christ is the son of God and have accepted Him into their hearts, with Him into Heaven. The times of tribulation which follow are acts of God’s mercy. God is giving humanity one more time to repent of their sins.
The Battle of Armageddon will take place and God will win. This battle seems to end with the bodily return of Christ in which those armies are destroyed by the “brightness of His coming” (Zech 14). Satan will be bound up and cast into the bottomless pit. Jesus will reign as King on earth for 1,000 years. This will be a time of peace. The Earth will come into her fulfillment as the creation she was intended to be.
After the 1,000 years are up Satan will be released after which Satan attempts another battle, which God quickly ends (Rev 20:9). This battle is unnamed.
Believers will stand before the Bema seat of Christ (2 Cor 5:10) to receive the REWARDS done in the Body of Christ. Unbelievers will face the Lord in the Great White Throne judgment. (Rev 20:12) where God will give the legal reasons why they are not permitted in His kingdom. Those unbelievers along with Satan and his demons will be cast into the lake of fire where they will live forever in torment. Just being a good person is not good enough. Without Jesus no one is good. Those whose names are recorded in the Book of Life will join the angels and Jesus in Heaven where there will be no more tears. Heaven will not be boring. It will be full of the glory of God, the God who created the beautiful earth. Can you imagine how exciting that will be?
In reply Jesus declared, ‘I tell you the truth, no one can see the kingdom of God unless he is born again.’ – (John 3:3)
The Bible clearly states that when we die we shall spend eternity either in Heaven or in Hell. God is a God of justice. His justice demands adequate rewards. If there were no Heaven or Hell, rewards for our behaviour, then God would not be just. Heaven is the just reward for those who love God. Hell is the just reward for those who do not love God. If you love God you have nothing to be afraid of when you die.
There is only one way to escape hell! Believe upon Jesus. Confess your sins to Jesus and ask Him to forgive you and to cover your sins with His blood. You will not perish but will have everlasting life with Jesus in Heaven. Click here to pray the sinners prayer and escape Hell.
