12. End Times
Jesus will rapture[1] His Church to heaven before the Tribulation period and judge them for rewards.[2] God will pour out unimaginable wrath on the earth during a 7 year tribulation[3] when Satan empowers the Anti-Christ[4] and False Prophet[5] to unite and rule the world with a false peace[6] and religion.[7] The tribulation will end with Jesus’ second coming[8] when He will return with all believers from heaven,[9] to save Israel from the armies gathered at Armageddon and judge the earth in fury [10]. Jesus will cast the Anti-Christ and False Prophet into the Lake of Fire,[11] bind Satan,[12] and establish a one thousand year Kingdom in Israel.[13] After the thousand years, Satan will lead a final rebellion [14] when God sends fire from heaven[15] to destroy his enemies and casts Satan eternally into the Lake of Fire.[16] God will raise all unbelievers from the dead and they will all appear before Him at the Great White Throne Judgment[17] and sentenced to be eternally punished in the Lake of Fire.[18] God will then make everything new[19] and all believers from all time will worship and enjoy dwelling with God forever in an eternal state called the New Heaven and New Earth.[20]
