Revelation 19:1-20:15
Truth for Today
All attempts to equate this glorious reign of Christ over the whole earth with any past event or with the church is utterly foreign and contradictory to the clear eschatological teaching of Scripture. There is no way this text can be fulfilled except by the universal reign of Jesus Christ over the whole earth - as the prophets had for so long predicted.
Reflecting on the Text
1. How does this glorious picture of Jesus' returning and making all things right encourage you? Do you still have questions about Christ's coming reign on earth? If so, write them out here.
2. Which millennialist view of Christ's thousand-year reign do you support? Why?
3. What hopes and fears do the truths of these two chapters bring to the surface in your own soul?
4. Ask God for the opportunity this week to share the glorious gospel of Jesus Christ with someone for whom you have prayed (parent, sibling, friend, coworker, etc.).

1. To serve him all i can now so when he comes he will be proud of me. well it's a lot clearer but some stuff is still confusing, but I forgot what I had trouble with.
2. that he will come and take all the Christians, the 7 years of trials will come, and then he will come back for those who trusted Christ during the 7 years and lock satan in the lake of fire for 1000 and destroy the earth and in 1000 years make a new world.....because that's what the bible says.
3. I need to spend more time serving him.
