The Rapture and the Shape of Things to Come

[bigletter]The rapture is that incident which the Bible predicts will occur before the Anti-Christ takes over and rules the earth while the second coming of Christ will take place after the Anti-Christ has ruled for seven years.[/bigletter]

When Christ comes from heaven, He will come in the clouds with millions of His Saints riding on white horses to take over the rulership of earth and the Battle of Armageddon is the final battle of the powers of this world waging a war against Christ and His saints at His second coming.

The war will be devastating for the saints. However, it will be a short one as Christ wipes all His enemies off with the flaming sword of His mouth. Thereafter, the Anti-Christ and the false prophets controlling the world powers will be arrested and thrown into the Lake of Fire.

Satan himself will be arrested, chained, and cast into the bottomless pit to be imprisoned for a thousand years. Earth will be rebuilt and beautified and there will be total peace and tranquility for a thousand years. It will be a wonderful moment on earth when Jesus Christ sits upon the throne of David in Jerusalem and the city shall be the capital of the whole world. 

Jesus Christ and His saints will rule the earth. 

His saints, believers then and now, will serve in various capacities as country presidents, senators, mayors, legislators, police officers, company executives, etc. Everyone in positions of authority will be believers and saints of the Lord.

However, some saints will not sit in any position of authority because they have not been faithful in their earthly assignments. These ones may have buried their gifts and talents and may have not been useful for their generation. They may not have prepared themselves for the Kingdom of Christ. Nations will still exist and even be recognizable but may be in different geographical locations.

It is my belief that Nigeria will be relevant in the Millennial Era of Jesus Christ. Faithful men of God who are true to their calling and divine assignments now will still be relevant then.

For me, I am preparing myself for the Kingdom of Christ on earth. After the millennial reign, Satan will be released and will go about deceiving people all over again.

Those who will be deceived are those who have crossed over from the tribulation era to the millennial reign of Christ. They will be deceivable because they will still be in their unresurrected bodies. They will therefore be subjected to temptations from the devil. He will gather them to fight against Christ once more, but fire will descend from heaven and consume them all. After this, Satan and Death will finally be arrested and cast into the Lake of Fire forever and ever. So, there will no more be Satan and Death in the future world of God.

The millennial reign of Christ on earth is the first-course meal of the glorious eternal future. That is when we shall be with Christ forever and ever.

Revelation 21:1 NKJV: “Now I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away. Also there was no more sea.” 

This is a glimpse of what is to come.

Serve the Lord in any area or platform you find yourself. This is the first prerequisite and the preparation for your status in the Kingdom of Christ that is coming ahead of us.
