What We Believe
What We Believe About Biblical Prophesy 
 

1. Prophecy Concerning the Church.  The Church, which began on the day of Pentecost, will be taken by rapture when "the fullness of the Gentiles be come in" (Romans 11:25).   The rapture of the Church will encompass all believers and will precede the beginning of Daniel's 70th week (Daniel 9:24-27).  Following the rapture all the Church will stand before the Bema seat of Christ for the purpose of receiving rewards (2 Corinthians 5:10).  And the glorified Church will accompany Christ at His Second Advent to the earth. 

2. Prophecy Concerning Israel.  God will again deal with Israel, who at the present time is in blindness, during the Tribulation period.  At the close of the Tribulation Christ will return again to the earth instituting the fulfillment of the Kingdom promises during the one thousand-year Millennial Kingdom.   The resurrection of Old Testament saints will take place just prior to the Millennial Kingdom (Revelation 20:3-5).  Those Israelites living at the time of the Second Advent will enter the Millennial Kingdom fulfilling the covenant promises made to Israel. 

3. Prophecy Concerning the Nations.  God will bring judgment to the nations during the Tribulation and final judgment at the conclusion of the Millennial Kingdom (Revelation 20:9-15). 

4. Prophecy Concerning Believers.   Although believers in the Church, Israel, and the Nations may have different places in God's plan throughout the ages (such as observed in the Millennial Kingdom) all saved people will spend eternity in perfect fellowship with God. 

5. Prophecy Concerning the Devil.  Upon the establishment of the Millennial Kingdom Satan will be bound for one thousand years (Revelation 20:2). Upon the close of the Millennial reign of Christ Satan will be loosed from his bondage in order that he might rally all the unsaved peoples living at that time in final rebellion against God (Revelation 20:7-9).  This rebellion will be quickly dissolved as Satan himself is cast into the lake of fire where he will be “tormented day and night forever and ever” (Revelation 20:10). 

6. Prophecy Concerning the Unsaved.  After the Millennial Kingdom the unsaved of all ages will be brought before the Great White Throne Judgment in order that they may receive official judgement for their sins.   As the result of this judgement all unsaved mankind will be consigned to eternal torment in the lake of fire (Revelation 20:12-15).
