The Second Coming of Christ

Dr. Tony Evans says. When Jesus returns there will be judgment for those who have accepted his gift. During this one saying I do not want to be celebrating the faithfulness. This is the alternative Dr. Tony Evans, author, speaker, senior pastor of Oakland Bible Fellowship Dallas, Texas, president of the urban alternative. It's easy for modern life and the constant onslaught of social media and cultural concerns to distractors from paying attention to God today.

Dr. Evans talked about a time coming. When ignoring Jesus simply won't be an option. Let's join him as he explains now decide something as we begin, which I trust most if not all of you have already decided Jesus Christ has risen from the bed of a problem with that you really will have a problem with this.

However, if you have with that. This is the wish and rise from the bed, he can certainly come back and will set the stage for the return of Christ. You've heard about talk about seen on television and in movies and it is called the battle of Armageddon in everyday language. World War III will which shouldn't be surprising that World War I and World War II. This will basically be world war three wars are called world war because of the scope of all the major powers such would be World War III. The battle of Armageddon. This is going to lead to this and it's really not one battle it's a campaign of battles over the last 3 1/2 years of the tribulation. So let's review.

The tribulation is the second year.

After the rapture Christians are rapture to meet the Lord in the air.

That's not the second coming. That's the rapture will be seven years of tribulation. Christ will make a covenant with Israel and will appeal to bring about the answer to the Middle East crisis. He will come on the scene as a peacemaker to begin the seven year tribulation. This man, the antichrist will come up Europe because it says in Daniel four Daniel seven will be over the 10 toes. That is, the Roman Empire split up, which is Europe and today you have that European Union you will rise up Europe and become the answer to the Middle East crisis and sees power. When this something is going to occur because he's going to become such a big figure.

He is going to be like When he said today Europe, tomorrow the world. People come up and he will but he's going after world domination.

So that's the antichrist seeking world domination. Scripture says that the world nomination. Some nations are going to come up against him in the middle of the tribulation that's prescribed for you in Daniel chapter 11 versus 40 and 45 so let me highlight a few scriptures and so many talk about this tribulation. Let me give you this one in Daniel 11 verse 20 it says at the end time this last section of the tribulation, the king of the South will collide with him with the antichrist and the king of the Lord will storm against the antichrist which variance with horsemen with many ships and he will enter countries overthrow them and pass through the TV antichrist will enter the beautiful land of Israel and many countries will fall but these will be rescued out of his hand. Verse 42 TV antichrist will stretch out his hand against other countries in the land of Egypt will not escape. But he will gain control over the hidden treasures of gold and silver and all of the precious things of Egypt.

Verse 44, but from the east and from the north will disturb him and he will go forth with great wrath to destroy and annihilate many pitch tents of Israel provision between the see the beautiful holy mountain, Israel and the Mediterranean Sea.

He will come to his end, and no one will help him all right. Let me summarize this and I know it did get a little confusing so I'm going to try to lay it out as clearly as I can so you can get a feel for what's going to happen. Christ comes on the scene and he appears to be the peacemaker seems that this guy is world and does not accept that the king of the North is Russia and the Communist bloc. It says the king of the Lord is going to join the king of the South. The South is MDF will make nations.

The antichrist is going to come over to the beautiful land. Israel is going to position himself in Israel which will be the center piece of all of this not explain why the as they come against him is going to give the king and the king of the South based we see that the Christ the King of the King of the South and not want to be defeated to pay the price to so now you got there will be 200 million fighters in this three year period of time that will descendent to defeat the antichrist in Zachariah chapter 14 we find out that there is another player in this episode Armageddon verse two says I will gather all the nations.

God is speaking against Jerusalem to battle, and the city will be captured, the houses plundered.

The women ravaged the city exile, but the rest of the people will not be cut off from the city will go forth and fight against these nations, as when he finds on the day about.

We got the nations. Christ, we got Satan drawing the nations to the antichrist and we got God bringing the nation to confront the antichrist.

One time now. The plan got Israel destroy Israel because the only hope that the devil has victory over God is making God's promises not come true. God created Israel to be the rep the Tory of his written and living word word of God written would come through Israel and the Christ would come through Israel. In addition to wanting world domination brings every body to the middle 80s with the goal of destroying Israel because if he destroys Israel.

Christ can come back because the promise of God with Christ only come back when Israel got save and except so until Israel accepts Christ Jesus Christ will come back.

So Satan wants to destroy Israel so that Christ can't come back proving God to be a much higher and once God is proved to be a lot higher than Satan has victory because God no longer hasn't really as God is the content that the circumstances in which the return of Christ comes the battle of this whole world comes about to be one of the feature Christ in the middle of the tribulation.

927 says will break covenant with Israel. The abomination of desolation. He's going to set himself up in Israel's temple which the Jews awaiting to rebuild the temple right now with a Muslim mosque on the site. All they have left is the Western Wall which is when you see them praying all the time so they want that tempo back to go to get that tempo back when they get attempted back in the middle of the tribulation. The antichrist is going to send his image. There supported by the false prophet as God, which is holy for Israel to set yourself up in God's temple proclaimed he was God, but you will be doing these miracles in order to fool the people and to trick them that he is in. He's going to break covenant with Israel and you will now have world domination defeated the kingdom of the north, the kingdom of the South and now the kingdom of Jesus coming at him, but he will set himself off as rural Dominic now when that happens the whole world is focused on the Middle East is shown time and I don't mean at the Apollo's national Matthew chapter 24 verse 39 it says but immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun will be darkened and the moon will not give its light, and the stars will fall from the sky and of the heavens will be shaken and members of the Son of Man will appear in the sky and all the tribes of Lauren and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of the sky, with power and great glory. And he will send his angels with a great trumpet and they will gather together his elect from the four winds, and from one end of the sky. Everything goes… Because the shelter the nations have gathered in the Middle East and made it says and then the Son of Man will appear, and every eye will see him. Revelation chapter 1 verse seven says verse 11 and I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse can't talk about the loss read that in biblical days that the Roman general went out to fight the Romans, the holding the world and then they conquered a people group that they were out fighting, you will always see the general come back to Whitehorse victory admit we and they lost was always a sign of victory to the Bible says that when Jesus returns to Whitehorse will ration a victory. The Bible said that when it comes he was faithful and true on his head are many crowns. The name written on them, but no one called the real dripping blood in his name is called the word of God, you get to relate to Jesus in one of two wings.

We can relate by means of the loss where he becomes a safe or you can relate by means of the throne when he becomes her judge. Trust me you don't want the judge sign not in the second coming.

God hands out rewards comes for the second coming, which is not the rapture.

Seven years later when he comes to earth, not just MBA becomes and the saints who have now been dressed with their new bodies dress within and that you come with him, which is his millennial reign.

We come with him without assignments will vary though faithful to the Lord will get high level assignments will faithful to the Lord while they lived on earth will get level assignments. Some will be made, or some will be governors, some will be presidents of nations. Some may be able to find other planets and that's when I get to the eternal state. Okay people will be assigned different sample great street sweeper because you never had time for the Lord. You never witnessed anything to say: God put you sweet say in all that, but it will be one of the faithful.

You are not one of the committee but yet you come back and read because you didn't belong to him and so he comes back with us on now between nations that is, once it comes back like in the first 15 second because the Bible says he will slay them with the word from many of you remember the movie with Alfred Hitchcock when the bride were coming in. Well guess what, this is the sequel, but it's bigger because the angel cries out in verse 17 to all the birds in the assembly also for the great supper of God, so God through his evangelicals will call all the angels why and every body who had received the mark of the beast will be a God speaks out of his mouth and body with the breeze will be slain by the word of the Eagles for every man that will be all that well because they were to repentance. This is the problem judge now you can think of the job. If you want to you can think if you want to you can think that this is just something, but the question is did Jesus rise from the dead because of James is wrong not play whatever. That's one in Jesus Christ, according to chapter 14 verses three and 4% to the amount of balance, which was the place he left from and the Bible says and when in the center of Jerusalem Mountain will split down the middle way to see Jesus Christ will set himself up as King of Kings and Lord of lords. People come and rule and he will bring about the one thing we have been waiting for and that is the righteous dictate that he will rule with a rod of iron that will be no more community chaos policed by citizens and citizens fighting police because he says no, and it will be well why we live in a day when the king of everything of the lion King is a king assault as a King of pop king of the beast is to not but he will obtain and Lord of Lord please anybody who thinks that Renshaw will have to answer to me so he will judge all mankind is accepted the mark of the beast, and they will. Everybody would set things will be judge and you see what it says in verses 20 and 21 he says that the basement sees the antichrist with him the false prophet who performed all the signs and they were put into the lake of fire and the rest were killed with the soul from him settled and the birds were filled with their flesh. This will become like you've never seen before chapter 14 verse 20 says that the bladder that day will reach to the bridle of the horses mouth splatter that during this day of this age of grace.

This cross age.

God is offering people salvation during this day, I want to be your savior. I do not want to be your judge, but in the day of the Lord is a different ballgame. I got this. Once you have watch one of parts and he is a hole and plot points and explain how to watch words what all those idiosyncratic elements that make it up and I can explain what I can do is to return to that much to translate. Explain it all to me and tell me all the parts work and get me next month's revelations seven minutes. No Bible 38% of them together in a Commonwealth based on the word of God. The time is like the Bible said that that time they will look on him whom they pierced. 1210 after they've been retired.

They will make you and all Israel will be saved on that day when Israel repent and comes back to Jesus Christ, God's promises will be put bill will believe Jesus can come to God the activity of Satan answer is requirement for Israel in order to help related to the return of Jesus Christ. They will when you see Jesus, he will be unmistakable not only because of his glory, but also because he will be the only scarred person in heaven you will have no scars when you get a new glorified body and you will be perfect in every physical and spiritual detail every scar that you've ever gotten for any reason that you've gotten it will be gone you will be the perfect age which is probably 33. I say that because that was Jesus's age 33, Adam and Eve were created as adults in perfect so you will be at a perfect age and you will have a perfect body, but there will be one person in eternity with imperfections. When Jesus Christ rose from the dead, said I don't believe I don't use it unless I put my finger in the nail prints in his hand, and unless I put my hand in the sky beside he says I will not Jesus in his glorified body came up. The terms and showed them his hands shoved him aside and said Thomas's hands. This time I have Jesus will be unmistakable because the millennial kingdom will carry the stars in his the nail prints. The sky inside of the soul of the nails so that will be doing cross and eternal reminder that I'll eternal coaches.

Jesus Christ our Savior is responsible to come one grade. The nail prints in his now I know lives from the Redeemer is coming back again. My destiny is on the way to glory. No way to glory, glorified now.
