THE JOURNEY PART #8

#8 / PART #1 He Will Come Back / Resurection Of The Dead And Belivers (Acts 1:11, 1 Thess. 4:16-17; Rev. 20:6)

Acts 1:11
Why stand ye gazing up into heaven? This same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven.

THE PREMILLENIAL SECOND COMING OF JESUS CHRIST IS TWO-PART IN NATURE;

HE WILL COME IN THE AIR TO RESURRECT THE RIGHTEOUS DEAD AND CATCH AWAY THE LIVING SAINTS;
1 Thess. 4:16-17
For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: 17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.

HE WILL THEN COME TO THE EARTH TO ESTABLISH HIS PHYSICAL KINGDOM, AND BEGIN HIS THOUSAND YEAR REIGN.
Rev. 20:6
Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.

PART #2 Resurection Of The Dead And Belivers (Heb. 9:27; Rev. 19:20)

THE RESURRECTION OF THE DEAD IS FOR TWO GROUPS OF PEOPLE.
Heb. 9:27
And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:

FIRST THE UNBELIEVER TO JUDGMENT AND ETERNAL PUNISHMENT.
Rev. 19:20
And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone.

SECOND THE BELIEVER TO EVERLASTING JOY WITH THE LORD.
Romans 10:13
For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
