Resurrection to Eternitypage 2So the followers of Jesus went throughout the land, preaching and baptizing, telling everyone that Christ the Savior was risen from the dead. They showed in the Scriptures how by Adam came sin and death, but by Jesus Christ came forgiveness and the resurrection of the dead. They told how one day all the new bodies of those who have trusted God and believed in Jesus as their Lord and Savior will be raised from the dead and, together with those who are alive, will be caught up in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. God’s book also says that Heaven will open, and Jesus will return to Earth as the conquering King and righteous Judge. And the name written on his clothes will be KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS. And the armies which are in heaven will follow him upon white horses. Jesus will stand on the Mount of Olives (just as the prophet Zechariah said), and the mountain will divide. And Christ will reign over all the Earth. But when a thousand years expire, Satan will once more go out to deceive the nations, but fire will come down from God and devour those who follow Satan. Then finally, Satan, the deceiver, will be thrown into the lake of fire and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever. And then, in front of a great white throne, the dead who have NOT been born of the Spirit, both small and great, will stand before God for judgment on their sins. But in a new heaven and a new Earth, God will be with His people. And God will wipe away all tears from their eyes. And there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain; for the former things are passed away. And there shall be no night and no need for candles, nor light from the sun; because the glory of God and the lamb will be the light; and They shall reign for ever and ever. And the Tree of Life will be there and the curse on mankind will be gone. Jesus says, “Let those who are thirsty come. Let them freely drink the water of life. Behold, I come quickly; blessed are they who obey My words. He that hears My word, and believes on Him that sent me, has everlasting life, and shall not be condemned; but is passed from death unto life.” This is God’s Story for you. For further study
