End time events and why are they important to us?

Stage of preparation

We are preparing for the coming of the Lord, Mathew 24:1-3

1. When will these things come?
2. What wil be the sign of your second coming?
3. What will be the sign of the age?

Mathew 24:4, The most important preparation is not to be deceived... there is deception everywhere today...
Mathew 24:6, Wars, famine, the Gospel will be preached...

Although these are the signs of the second coming of the Lord, the Lord will protect His own people.

Rapture This is what we are waiting for next, 1 Thessalonians 4:13
When you are in Jesus and Jesus is in you, you don't die miserably, what happens is you just sleep and then wake up in front of Jesus...

When they wake up, they wake up before the Lord of Lords and the King of Kings.. when the trumpet is heard, those who dies in Jesus will rise up and we who are alive together with them, we shall be caught up in the air, this is the _Rapture_

In the stories of the 7 churches in the book of Revelations, there was only one church ready for the rapture.. Revelations 3:10

Jesus is coming to take the church up, we don't know when, but He is coming, then there will be the time of tribulation.

Tribulation will be a time of trouble, it will take a period of 7 years..
The Anti Christ can't come yet, because the rapture hasn't happened yet.. 2 Thessalonians 2.

The Anti-Christ wants to control:
1- The Economy
2- The Military
3- Religion

Zachariah 14:1

The Lord is coming back with an Army...

Revelation 20:2 The Lord will allow Jesus to come rule the Earth for 1000 years...

Revelation 20:7-9

Final Judgement.. Revelation 20:11-18
