Eschatology - The Study of End Times

This lesson begins with a quick review of Greek grammar, which helps to understand the study on the word "Rapture." Next, take a bird’s eye view of the Book of Revelation and a look back at 2nd Thessalonians to see who has the power to set all the mentioned events in motion. Finally, a reading of Daniel 12 reveals everything known about the hour and day that these events will take place.

Revelation 5 King James Version 1 And I saw in the right hand of him that sat on the throne a book written within and on the backside, sealed with seven seals. 2 And I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, Who is worthy to open the book, and to loose the seals thereof? 3 And no man in heaven, nor in earth, neither under the earth, was able to open the book, neither to look thereon. 4 And I wept much, because no man was found worthy to open and to read the book, neither to look thereon. 5 And one of the elders saith unto me, Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof. 6 And I beheld, and, lo, in the midst of the throne and of the four beasts, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent forth into all the earth. 7 And he came and took the book out of the right hand of him that sat upon the throne. 8 And when he had taken the book, the four beasts and four and twenty elders fell down before the Lamb, having every one of them harps, and golden vials full of odours, which are the prayers of saints. 9 And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation; 10 And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth. 11 And I beheld, and I heard the voice of many angels round about the throne and the beasts and the elders: and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands; 12 Saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing. 13 And every creature which is in heaven, and on the earth, and under the earth, and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, heard I saying, Blessing, and honour, and glory, and power, be unto him that sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb for ever and ever. 14 And the four beasts said, Amen. And the four and twenty elders fell down and worshipped him that liveth for ever and ever. Revelation 6:1-2 1 And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals, and I heard, as it were the noise of thunder, one of the four beasts saying, Come and see. 2 And I saw, and behold a white horse: and he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer.

Various pictures through the Bible show the same thing: the spirit of Antichrist that will eventually manifest itself as the person of Antichrist. This message gives a thumbnail sketch to build on in the coming weeks, including pictures of Daniel’s statue, the two beasts and the various kingdoms that flow into the place from where Antichrist will come. While this is a scary picture, those in Christ have nothing to fear because we are safe in Him. Eventually, God will eradicate the evil that is repeatedly depicted here.

An overview of the terminology surrounding the main schools of thought on the interpretation of End Times prophecy. There is a grammatical difficulty in translating the neutral and masculine words that refer to the same force or person in 2 Thessalonians 2 which is holding off the revealing of Antichrist, and we still have no answer for this question. Prophecy should be encouraging to those who read God’s word and faithe in Him. The church may not be the restrainer of Antichrist, but we do have a responsibility to resist him.

There has been a general falling away from the perfection that God created since the beginning, but the apostasy that must come before Antichrist is revealed is a specific one. We are not appointed to suffer God's wrath, as the rest of the world will in that day. When the man of sin comes, he will be a pseudo Christ. He will look like a man of peace, and he will take control of the world's economy and be a wicked dictator with power that is not of himself. However, when the time is right, God will fell him easily. 2 Thessalonians 2:3 Watch Pastor Scott LIVE Sunday Services and the Festival of Faith: http://pastormelissascott.com/watch.html Visit Pastor's Classroom for more teaching from this series: http://pastormelissascott.com/pastors-classroom.html Pastor Melissa Scott teaches from Faith Center in Glendale, CA.

1st and 2nd Thessalonians reference the return of Christ multiple times. Christ's parable from Matthew 24 states that He will be gone for a long time before He returns, that the dead in Christ will rise before anything happens to us, and that we will be exempted from God's Wrath. God is repeating the same thing through diverse mouthpieces. Those that seek the truth about the End Times out of God’s word will find comfort and not the fear perpetuated by errors of false doctrines. 2 Thessalonians 2, Matthew 24 Pastor Melissa Scott teaches from Faith Center in Glendale, CA.

Pastor Scott exposed the truth for you.

The book of Daniel is necessary in order to understand the symbolism used in Revelation. Daniel starts with a bird's eye view and zooms in closer and closer, concerning his city (Jerusalem) and his people (the Jews). Daniel tells of the many horns of power that rise and fall throughout history. The last "little horn" will be Antichrist. The precision of the prophecy lets us know God is in control.

These he carried off to the temple of his god in Babylonia and put in the treasure house of his god. 3 Then the king ordered Ashpenaz, chief of his court officials, to bring into the king’s service some of the Israelites from the royal family and the nobility— 4 young men without any physical defect, handsome, showing aptitude for every kind of learning, well informed, quick to understand, and qualified to serve in the king’s palace. He was to teach them the language and literature of the Babylonians. 5 The king assigned them a daily amount of food and wine from the king’s table. They were to be trained for three years, and after that they were to enter the king’s service. 6 Among those who were chosen were some from Judah: Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael and Azariah. 7 The chief official gave them new names: to Daniel, the name Belteshazzar; to Hananiah, Shadrach; to Mishael, Meshach; and to Azariah, Abednego. 8 But Daniel resolved not to defile himself with the royal food and wine, and he asked the chief official for permission not to defile himself this way. 9 Now God had caused the official to show favor and compassion to Daniel, 10 but the official told Daniel, “I am afraid of my lord the king, who has assigned your food and drink. Why should he see you looking worse than the other young men your age? The king would then have my head because of you.” 11 Daniel then said to the guard whom the chief official had appointed over Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael and Azariah, 12 “Please test your servants for ten days: Give us nothing but vegetables to eat and water to drink. 13 Then compare our appearance with that of the young men who eat the royal food, and treat your servants in accordance with what you see.” 14 So he agreed to this and tested them for ten days. 15 At the end of the ten days they looked healthier and better nourished than any of the young men who ate the royal food. 16 So the guard took away their choice food and the wine they were to drink and gave them vegetables instead. 17 To these four young men God gave knowledge and understanding of all kinds of literature and learning. And Daniel could understand visions and dreams of all kinds. 18 At the end of the time set by the king to bring them into his service, the chief official presented them to Nebuchadnezzar. 19 The king talked with them, and he found none equal to Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael and Azariah; so they entered the king’s service. 20 In every matter of wisdom and understanding about which the king questioned them, he found them ten times better than all the magicians and enchanters in his whole kingdom. 21 And Daniel remained there until the first year of King Cyrus.

Daniel's prophecies cover the time of the Gentiles' oppression of the Jews in history, jumping over the church age, to the Tribulation age. Each successive prophecy narrows down the interpretation of the coming of Antichrist. We are to remember that under all of this, God is there and we are to keep our spiritual armor on at all times.

Historically we can trace most of Daniel 11 to the kingdoms of Egypt and Syria, specific individuals in their history, and even a man who represents a type of Antichrist, having displayed all of his characteristics. God gave this incredible insight into history hundreds of years before it happened. The accuracy with which it came to pass should inspire faith for the things yet to happen.

Revelation 1 King James Version 1 The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him, to shew unto his servants things which must shortly come to pass; and he sent and signified it by his angel unto his servant John: 2 Who bare record of the word of God, and of the testimony of Jesus Christ, and of all things that he saw. 3 Blessed is he that readeth, and they that hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written therein: for the time is at hand. 4 John to the seven churches which are in Asia: Grace be unto you, and peace, from him which is, and which was, and which is to come; and from the seven Spirits which are before his throne; 5 And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood, 6 And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen. 7 Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen. 8 I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty. 9 I John, who also am your brother, and companion in tribulation, and in the kingdom and patience of Jesus Christ, was in the isle that is called Patmos, for the word of God, and for the testimony of Jesus Christ. 10 I was in the Spirit on the Lord's day, and heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet, 11 Saying, I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last: and, What thou seest, write in a book, and send it unto the seven churches which are in Asia; unto Ephesus, and unto Smyrna, and unto Pergamos, and unto Thyatira, and unto Sardis, and unto Philadelphia, and unto Laodicea. 12 And I turned to see the voice that spake with me. And being turned, I saw seven golden candlesticks; 13 And in the midst of the seven candlesticks one like unto the Son of man, clothed with a garment down to the foot, and girt about the paps with a golden girdle. 14 His head and his hairs were white like wool, as white as snow; and his eyes were as a flame of fire; 15 And his feet like unto fine brass, as if they burned in a furnace; and his voice as the sound of many waters. 16 And he had in his right hand seven stars: and out of his mouth went a sharp twoedged sword: and his countenance was as the sun shineth in his strength. 17 And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as dead. And he laid his right hand upon me, saying unto me, Fear not; I am the first and the last: 18 I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death. 19 Write the things which thou hast seen, and the things which are, and the things which shall be hereafter; 20 The mystery of the seven stars which thou sawest in my right hand, and the seven golden candlesticks. The seven stars are the angels of the seven churches: and the seven candlesticks which thou sawest are the seven churches.

This is an introduction to teaching on End Times events, starting with the description of these times from 2 Thessalonians 2:1-7. There were three major issues confronting the Thessalonians: persecution, unruly members and confusion. The confusion came from outside sources telling them the persecution they were under was a sign that the day of the Lord was at hand. Pastor Melissa Scott teaches from Faith Center in Glendale, CA.

Reading from the Revelation 5 & 6, it’s clear that the events of the end times will happen in God’s set time. The “Time of the Gentiles” prophetically begins with Nebuchadnezzar and his period of insanity, until he recognized the rule of the Most High; which is a picture of how some Gentile nations, as well as some Jews, will be able to recognize Christ in the Tribulation and be saved.

Revelation 5 King James Version 1 And I saw in the right hand of him that sat on the throne a book written within and on the backside, sealed with seven seals. 2 And I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, Who is worthy to open the book, and to loose the seals thereof? 3 And no man in heaven, nor in earth, neither under the earth, was able to open the book, neither to look thereon. 4 And I wept much, because no man was found worthy to open and to read the book, neither to look thereon. 5 And one of the elders saith unto me, Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Juda, the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof. 6 And I beheld, and, lo, in the midst of the throne and of the four beasts, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent forth into all the earth. 7 And he came and took the book out of the right hand of him that sat upon the throne. 8 And when he had taken the book, the four beasts and four and twenty elders fell down before the Lamb, having every one of them harps, and golden vials full of odours, which are the prayers of saints. 9 And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation; 10 And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth. 11 And I beheld, and I heard the voice of many angels round about the throne and the beasts and the elders: and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands; 12 Saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing. 13 And every creature which is in heaven, and on the earth, and under the earth, and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, heard I saying, Blessing, and honour, and glory, and power, be unto him that sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb for ever and ever. 14 And the four beasts said, Amen. And the four and twenty elders fell down and worshipped him that liveth for ever and ever. Revelation 6:1-8 King James Version 1 And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals, and I heard, as it were the noise of thunder, one of the four beasts saying, Come and see. 2 And I saw, and behold a white horse: and he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer. 3 And when he had opened the second seal, I heard the second beast say, Come and see. 4 And there went out another horse that was red: and power was given to him that sat thereon to take peace from the earth, and that they should kill one another: and there was given unto him a great sword. 5 And when he had opened the third seal, I heard the third beast say, Come and see. And I beheld, and lo a black horse; and he that sat on him had a pair of balances in his hand. 6 And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say, A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny; and see thou hurt not the oil and the wine. 7 And when he had opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth beast say, Come and see. 8 And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth.

A look at the Thessalonian church, via 1 Thessalonians 1:9-10, that had been cataclysmically changed by receiving the message of Christ's death, resurrection and imminent return, gives us the confidence that we have a deliverer, in Jesus Christ, from the wrath of God to come. The deliverance is continuous until He comes again.
