THE ORDER OF THINGS TO COME

THE RAPTURE OF THE CHURCH
From John 14:1-3 - Do not be afraid:  you believe in God, believe also in Me.  I am going to heaven to prepare a place for you, and I will come again, and receive you unto Myself; that where I am, there you may be also (1 Cor. 15:50-54; 1 Th. 1:10; 4:13-18; 5:9; etc.).


THE SEVEN-YEAR TRIBULATION IS DANIEL'S SEVENTIETH WEEK
From Daniel 9:26-27 - The Messiah will be crucified for our sins and not His own.   An there shall be a future leader, a Roman whose ancestors destroyed Jerusalem and the Temple in A.D. 70, who will  confirm a seven-year covenant of protection of Israel.  But in the midst of the week (after 1260 days, or 42 months, or a time, times, and a half a time, that is three and a half years), he shall force Israel to cease worshipping the One True God, and will demand they worship him.  For the last half of the seven-year covenant, Israel will be hidden and protected by God (Mt. 24:15-21; Rev. 12:6; etc.).

THE SECOND COMING OF CHRIST 
From Matthew 24:29-30 - Immediately after the tribulation of those days they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory (Mt. 24:29-30; Rev. 19:11-21; etc.).

CHRIST'S 1000 YEAR KINGDOM (THE MILLENNIUM)
Revelation 20:1-4 quoted - "And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand.  And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years, and cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled:  and after that he must be loosed a little season.  And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the Word of God, and who had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years."

THE GREAT WHITE THRONE JUDGMENT
Revelation 20:11-15 quoted - "And I saw a great white throne, and Him Who sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them.  And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened:  and another book was opened, which is the Book of Life:  and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.  And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works.  And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire.  This is the second death.  And whosoever was not found written in the Book of Life was cast into the Lake of Fire."


E       T       E       R       N       I       T       Y 
From Revelation 21:1 - 22:6 - There will be a New Heaven, a New Earth, and a New Jerusalem!  There will not be any tears, death, sorrow, crying, nor pain: for those things will cease to exist!  Our heavenly Father and Jesus, the Lamb of God, will be there and we shall see them face-to-face!

ALL WHO BELIEVE JESUS DIED FOR OUR SINS, WAS BURIED,
AND WAS RAISED FROM THE DEAD, ACCORDING TO THE SCRIPTURES,
SHALL FOREVER BE WITH ALMIGHTY GOD - PRAISE THE LORD!
