Eschatology

 Events of the end times.

1. Removal of the church: 1 Corinthians 15 v 51 to 53 - 1 Thessalonians 4 v 15 to 17.

This is the event that every authentic Christian (born again) looks forward to, while sowing the gospel among all peoples. But we don't know the day or the time... Maranatha!

2. World reign of the anti-Christ (the beast): 2 Thessalonians 2 v 3 to 12 - Revelation 13. Global totalitarian dictatorship.

The devil will arouse his "messiah" and establish his kingdom all over the earth. (The Greek word 'anti' means: against, or, pretending to be). Total control of politics and the economy. The single and obligatory religion will be the worship of Satan, his "Christ", and his image. Satan will finally realize his dream: To be worshipped by all men.

3. Return (Parousia) of Jesus Christ to the earth: Zacharias 12 v 9 and 10 - Za 14 v 1 to 5. Last attempt to exterminate Israel. Repentance and national conversion of the elected survivors of Israel. Jesus descends from heaven, accompanied by his saints, the church. Extermination of the armies of the nations that came to attack Israel. The Beast and the False Prophet are thrown into the eternal fire.           

4. Millennium, reign of peace of Jesus Christ: Revelation 20 v 1 to 3. This is the last phase of God's patience. Jesus alone is capable of establishing peace and justice in the world. Satan and his demons are in prison. All the current problems will have disappeared, but men will still be sinners by nature. Israel will evangelize the nations (finally) and the church will rule the world under the authority of Jesus Christ. After 1000 years, Satan is released, and men follow him into the final rebellion.

5. End of the world, disintegration of the universe: 2 Peter 3 v 10 to 13 - Psalm 102 v 27. God will destroy his creation corrupted by sin. All human works will be consumed.

6. Resurrection for The Last Judgment: Revelation 20 v 11 to 15 - Acts 17 v 31.

The Lord Jesus will judge all humans, one by one, except those who have accepted His Grace during their earthly life. The condemned will be thrown into the eternal fire.

7. New creation: Revelation 21 v 1 to 4.

Only those who will be new creatures will live in the new world, where everything will be perfect. Jesus will be in our midst, it will be eternal happiness.


GLORY To GOD, his plan is perfect!!!

     A lthough I am French I was born in Baden-Baden, Germany. I spent a good part of my childhood in Africa, especially in Cameroon and Togo. I was raised in a traditional Catholic family: mass every Sunday, catechism, sacraments, the works. When my family moved back to France I lost all interest in religion because one of my friends, an atheist, made fun of me. I stopped going to church. After all, I reasoned, I never had understood what the priest was saying.   I am with Michel, our driver in Douala (Cameroon) I apprenticed as a cabinetmaker and worked at that profession until it was time for military service. In 1968 while in the French army I made some friends who were into studying philosophy. They asked questions that I had never thought about: Why am I here? Where did I come from? Why are men wicked? Why is there suffering? Where do you go after you die? I began reading books by existentialists who encourage people to ask questions (a good thing) but never offer answers (which

Creation

  CREATION according to GENESE Chapter 1   Verse 1: "In the beginning" ... Simultaneous creation of time (which thus has a beginning), of space (the heavens), and of the earth. Time, space, and matter are created at the same time. There is an author-creator-architect, God (HELOHIM) in the plural. The verb create (BARA: making something out of nothingness) is singular, so there is a plurality in divine unity. (John 1 v 1 to 3). There is no "Big Bang" see the article on this subject. v 2: Sphere covered with water, uninhabited and plunged into darkness, but the Spirit of God is present. v 3 to 5: The light is manifested. First evening and morning, and start of the day-night cycle. DAY ONE. v 6 to 8: Creation of the atmosphere that separates the primitive ocean and the layer of steam that envelops the earth like a greenhouse (This will fall to the earth during the flood: ge7-11-12). DAY 2. v 9-10: Appearance of the primordial continent from the single oce
