Read Ephesians 2:1-10. Compare KEY TERMS IN (LAST THINGS) this teaching of Paul with what you are learning in Revelation... How DANIEL’S SEVENTIETH WEEK: This term refers to a final 7-year period during is it possible for anyone to escape which Almighty God will wrap up the events of human history. It is sometimes referred God’s wrath? Or to quote John in to by theologians as the “tribulation period”. This period is put forth in Daniel 9:24-27 Revelation 6:17, “Who can stand?” and further described in chapters 11 and 12 of Daniel. Jesus also describes this period in -25, and Revelation 6-19. THE GREAT TRIBULATION: This is a period initiated at the beginning of the last half (3 1/2 years) of Daniel’s Seventieth Week and includes the persecution at the Have you personally put your trust hands of the toward God’s people.

We must look at Scripture in context. better and better and better... ushering in Jesus’ return AFTER the 1,000 3. When facing a passage that is confusing, we compare Scripture with Scripture. years. Scripture never contradicts itself. 4. In prophecy , watch for near/far prophetic applications in Scripture. 2. There is no millennium. The 1,000 years is SYMBOLIC of Jesus’ complete power and reign spiritually between his 1st and 2nd comings. 3. This 1,000 year period is yet future. Jesus will return BEFORE the millennium. During the millenium, Jesus and his saints will rule and reign literally on the earth, fulfilling God’s promises.
