From a Christian perspective, I'd like you to see THE END from today. This ending is actually a new beginning, but I'll address that in another article. All devout Christ-followers who've studied their Bibles know and understand these events.
Before I get to the events, consider something very important:
"GOD DESIGNED HUMAN BEINGS TO LIVE FOREVER!"
So, while our bodies will die, our souls will live forever — in the place of our choosing (with God or without Him)!
Where do we get this idea? Consider these 19 verses from the Old and New Testaments:
Genesis 5:24
Job 19:25-27
Psalm 16:10-11
Psalm 49:15
Psalm 73:24-26
Ecclesiastes 3:11
Isaiah 26:19
Daniel 12:2
Hosea 13:14
Matthew 25:46
John 3:16
John 11:25-26
John 14:2-3
Romans 6:23
Philippians 3:20-21
2 Corinthians 5:8
1 John 2:25
Revelation 21:4
Revelation 22:5
Next, an overview of events on a Biblical timeline, from the end until today:
- Today
- Death, or The Rapture of the Church (where all true/devout Christ-Followers meet the Lord and ARE JUDGED)
- The Advent of the Man of Sin (The AntiChrist), the Beast (The False Prophet), and the Number (666)
- The Beginning of the Tribulation (3.5 years)
- The Beginning of the Great Tribulation (3.5 years)
- The Battle of Armageddon (The Last World War)
- The Thousand-Year Reign of Christ on Earth (Christ reigns on Earth for 1000 years)
- The Great White Throne of Judgment (All non-believers are judged)
- All Believers Live Forever on the New Heaven and New Earth (The curse is removed, Heaven and Earth are restored, Heaven rests above Earth, no one dies, no sickness, no sorrow, etc..)
I will go into more detail about these events in part two.
