I believe that God has disclosed the general order of future events in His Word. I believe that Christ is imminently returning to rapture His saints. The rapture will be followed by a seven-year period of tribulation on the earth during which the judgment seat of Christ will take place in heaven. Then the Lord will return to earth with His saints to put down the forces of evil and to cast Satan bound into the bottomless pit for a thousand years. The Lord will at that time set up His millennial kingdom of righteousness on the earth. At the conclusion of that period, Satan will be loosed for a short while and deceive the hearts of many. The Lord will then bring forth Satan’s final and everlasting defeat. Eternal damnation is ushered in with the Great White Throne judgment for the wicked. The righteous will enter their eternal state of bliss.
