The Eternal State

END-TIMES PROPHECY SERIES

 

After the first phase of the future kingdom of God ends, the second phase of the kingdom will begin.

Rev. 20:7-9 tells us that towards the end of the Millennium Kingdom, Satan is released from the Abyss and is successful in gathering a large number of people who will rebel against Christ. According to Rev. 20:9-10, the rebellion is short-lived and completely unsuccessful. All those who participate in it are put to death, while Satan receives his final judgment in the Lake of Fire.

After Satan’s power is finally broken and all people are finally resurrected, all the subjugation necessary has been realized. It is then possible to move into the eternal kingdom. When the millennium kingdom is merged with the eternal kingdom, the eternal sovereignty of God is established. Satan’s challenge and disruption of God’s purposes will be answered finally and forever.

In today’s study, Dr. Gonzalez discusses the eternal state and life in the Eternal Kingdom of God.

The Millennium (Part 3)

END-TIMES PROPHECY SERIES

 

The Millennium is the final illustration of the grace of God and man’s need for salvation.

The Millennium (Part 2)

END-TIMES PROPHECY SERIES

 

The millennium kingdom is the rule of Christ on earth as promised to David and it will be inaugurated at the second coming of Christ. The land promise made to Abraham and his descendants will be fulfilled, the promise made to David that his descendant (the Messiah) will sit on the throne of the kingdom forever will be fulfilled. Without the Millennium Kingdom, the Abrahamic, Davidic and Palestinian (or land) Covenants would go unfulfilled.

In this message, Dr. Gonzalez will discuss:

• The geographic changes that will happen during the millennium, and
• The government of the millennium

The Millennium (Part 1)

END-TIMES PROPHECY SERIES

 

Over the next three studies, Dr. Gonzalez will cover the Millennium.

He explains that there will be a transitional period that apparently separates the beginning of the millennial kingdom from the end of the Tribulation period. There will be several events that take place during this transition period.

He reminds us that there is a significant division in the study of eschatology (future things) having to do with the question of whether there will be a 1,000-year reign of Christ before or after His second coming.

In today’s message he will share:

• The events that take place during this transition period,
• The three millennial views, and
• Why the premillennial view is best supported by Scripture

The Coming Judgments and Resurrections (Part 2)

END-TIMES PROPHECY SERIES

 

The redeemed will never face judgment for their sin. The Lord Jesus Christ took our sin on the cross and the Father judged it, and Christ paid the penalty upon His death. God’s righteous judgment was satisfied, for Christ rose from the dead. However, sin will influence what transpires at the judgment seat of Christ in terms of whether we lose or gain rewards.

Having already discussed the judgment that will occur at the rapture known as the Judgment Seat of Christ, Dr. Gonzalez will now discuss:

• The judgments that will take place at the Lord’s second coming, which includes:
  • The judgment of the living Gentiles,
  • The judgment of the living Jews, and
  • The judgment of the Old Testament and Tribulation believers

• And the judgments after His millennial kingdom, which includes:
  • The judgment of Satan and the fallen angels
  • The judgment that destroys the present heavens and earth by fire
  • The judgment of the unsaved

The Coming Judgments and Resurrections (Part 1)

END-TIMES PROPHECY SERIES

 

Dr. Gonzalez reminds us that when a person comes before the Judge, it will not be to determine his or her eternal destiny. That destiny was already determined by the person here on earth. No one will be saved after death; salvation comes to those who at some point during their lifetime here on earth, placed their trust in Christ as Lord and Savior.

In this message, Dr. Gonzalez will discuss the purpose of the future judgments. He explains that the future judgments can be broken into three main groups:

1. The judgment at the rapture
2. The judgments at the second coming, and
3. The judgments after the millennial kingdom

Events of the Tribulation - The Last Three and a Half Years - Armageddon (Part 6)

END-TIMES PROPHECY SERIES

 

After a detailed exposition of the seal, trumpet, and bowl judgments of the Tribulation, Dr. Gonzalez will begin his discussion of Armageddon.

The conclusion of the 7^th bowl judgment will bring men to the end of the Tribulation and to the Second Coming of Christ to begin His reign over the earth. Only one more part of the picture remains to be completed.

He explains that Armageddon is not a single battle but, rather, a whole series of conflicts that culminate with the second coming of Christ. In this message, Dr. Gonzalez will look at the 9 stages of the campaign of Armageddon.

(29) Events of the Tribulation - The Last Three and a Half Years (Part 5)

END-TIMES PROPHECY SERIES

In this message, Dr. Gonzalez will focus on the 5^th, 6^th, and 7thbowl judgments. As a result of these judgments, the world will experience:

 

• A supernatural darkness over the kingdom of the Antichrist. In Mark 13:24 Jesus Himself said that during the Tribulation, “…the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not shed its light.”
• The drying up of the Euphrates river, which will facilitate the crossing of the river by the armies of the kings of the east. The sixth bowl is far more than a plague; it is a prelude to the gathering of the troops for Armageddon.
• A massive moving of the earth’s crust that will be accompanied by huge hundred-pound hailstones falling from heaven.

Events of the Tribulation - The Last Three and a Half Years (Part 4)

END-TIMES PROPHECY SERIES

 

In Revelation chapter 16, the chronological list of prophetic events is continued.

In this message, Dr. Gonzalez will focus on the 2^nd, 3^rd, 4^th, and 5^th bowl judgments. As a result of these judgments, the world will experience:

• The death of every remaining sea creature.
• All remaining fresh water on the earth turning to blood.
• The intense suffering caused by the sun bringing terrible heat on the earth
• A supernatural darkness over the kingdom of the Antichrist. In Mark 13:24 Jesus Himself said that during the Tribulation, “…the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not shed its light.”

Events of the Tribulation - The Last Three and a Half Years (Part 3)

END-TIMES PROPHECY SERIES

 

In Revelation chapter 9, the chronological list of prophetic events is continued.

In this message, Dr. Gonzalez focuses on the last two trumpet and the first two bowl judgments.

• With Trumpet 6, we learn that four evil angels are released by God’s permission to accomplish His judgment. Things get worse with this trumpet, said to be the “second woe.” An army of 200 million from the east will destroy one third of mankind.
• When Trumpet 7 sounds, eight major events are mentioned.
• Bowl 1 will inflict incurable skin sores. Revelation 16:2 says, “The first went and poured out his bowl on the earth, and severely painful sores broke out on the people who had the mark of the beast and who worshiped its image.”
• Bowl 2 causes the sea to turn into blood. It causes the death of every remaining sea creature. Revelation 16:3 says, “The second poured out his bowl into the sea. It turned to blood like that of a dead person, and all life in the sea died.”

Events of the Tribulation - The Last Three and a Half Years (Part 2)

END-TIMES PROPHECY SERIES

 

With the opening of Revelation chapter 8, the chronological list of prophetic events is continued. As the seventh seal is broken by the Lord, the trumpet judgments begin. These judgments are more severe than the first six seal judgments and come in answer to the prayers of the saints of God.

Dr. Gonzalez continues his exposition of the trumpet judgments John writes about in Revelation chapters 8 through 11. The seal judgments were bad, but the trumpet judgments will be worse. So much so that Revelation 8:1 says that when heaven’s inhabitants become aware of them, there was silence in heaven for about half an hour.

Events of the Tribulation - The Last Three and a Half Years (Part 1)

END-TIMES PROPHECY SERIES

 

During the next six messages, Dr. Gonzalez will be discussing on some detail, the last three and a half years of the Tribulation period.

Dr. Gonzalez explains that the three series of judgments (seals, trumpets, and bowls) are successive judgments, in other words, each set of judgments follows or succeeds the previous one. It is during the last three and a half years that the world will experience the trumpet and bowl judgments. As the seventh seal is broken by the Lord, the trumpet judgments begin. These judgments are more severe than the first six seal judgments and come in answer to the prayers of the saints of God.

Today, he will begin by looking at where Israel is and what the activities of Antichrist are at the beginning of the second half of the Tribulation and start an expository study of the trumpet judgments.

Events of the Tribulation - Midpoint

END-TIMES PROPHECY SERIES

 

During today’s message, Dr. Gonzalez will discuss what the world can expect midway through the Tribulation period related to:

• The nation of Israel
• The activities of the Antichrist
• The activity of Satan
• The activity of the False Prophet, and
• The religions of the world

Events of the Tribulation - First Three and a Half Years (Part 4)

END-TIMES PROPHECY SERIES

 

Dr. Gonzalez states that the sixth seal judgment is probably broken near the middle of the Tribulation and may introduce the final 3 1/2 years of the Tribulation. It brings amazing and powerful upheavals on the earth and in the heavens. A great earthquake convulses the crust of the earth, and as Revelation 6:14 says, every mountain and island was moved from its place. This will be accompanied by great cosmic disturbances affecting the sun, moon, and stars.

So great are these events that a terrified humanity cries out to the rocks and mountains to hide them from the wrath of God. This judgment will include 6 catastrophic events:

1. A single great earthquake
2. The sun will be darkened so that it becomes black
3. The moon will become as red as blood
4. There will be a meteor shower
5. Apparently, heaven will be opened for a moment so that the men on earth can have a glimpse of that awesome scene, with God on His throne
6. Every mountain and island will be moved

This will be a time when there will be no turning to God in repentance but rather a turning from God’s face.

This is just the beginning of labor pains; the worst is yet to come.

The First Three and a Half Years (Part 3)

END-TIMES PROPHECY SERIES

 

Dr. Gonzalez explains that the Tribulation period does not necessarily begin right after the Rapture occurs. Many prophecy scholars agree that there will be a relatively short interval of time between the Rapture and the beginning of the Tribulation. The Tribulation will begin when Israel signs a treaty with the Antichrist, the leader of the confederation of Western nations, the revived Roman Empire.

God’s judgments begin when Christ breaks the seals of the scroll spoken of in Revelation chapters 5 and 6. In Matthew 24:4-8, Jesus Christ speaks of the judgments that will be found during the first three and a half years of the Tribulation. He describes them as the beginning of labor pains. John details these judgments as he describes the seal judgments in Revelation 6:2-17.

During today’s message, Dr. Gonzalez will be discussing the third, fourth, and fifth seal judgments.

Events of the Tribulation - The First Three and a Half Years (Part 1)

END-TIMES PROPHECY SERIES

 

Jesus Christ made the following statement to His disciples in Matthew 24:21, For at that time there will be great distress, the kind that hasn’t taken place from the beginning of the world until now and never will again. Those words of our Lord say it all. But what exactly makes the Tribulation period so much worse and unlike any other troublesome period in human history?

Dr. Gonzalez explains that there are two primary factors:

First, it will be a worldwide event. Unlike today, where the world continually experiences localized or regional wars and conflicts, the Tribulation will affect the entire planet. Not one nation will escape the deadly effects of this unparalleled time of judgment, persecution, calamities, war, and devastation.

Second, man’s behavior and attitude. Just listen to John’s words in Revelation 6:16, And they said to the mountains and to the rocks, “Fall on us and hide us from the face of the one seated on the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb.

Most of us, if not all of us, have heard at some time or another or have perhaps have said it ourselves, that the end is near. Yet, despite everything we have heard and the warning signs we have seen, we fail to act or behave as if we really believed it. Well, according to John, when the Tribulation begins, man will no longer think the end is near, man will know the end is at hand and their actions and behavior will prove it. During that period, man will not seek to preserve his life; instead, he will seek death.

Dr. Gonzalez will now focus his discussion on the seven-year Tribulation period. During the next four messages, He will cover the first three and a half years.

The Bible and the Future of the United States (Part 3)

END-TIMES PROPHECY SERIES

 

With the collapse of the United States because of the rapture of the church as the major contributing factor, what will the United States do? What will she look like?

Scripture teaches that in the end times, there will be four power blocs in the world. It is safe to conclude that the nations of the world will be aligning themselves with one of these power blocs. Which power bloc will America align herself with? Where will she naturally gravitate to and why?

Dr. Gonzalez explains that although we cannot draw dogmatic conclusions, there is a broad consensus among prophecy experts concerning the destiny of this country. America will be absorbed into the Antichrist’s Empire, it will become a part of the end-time alliance of Western nations led by Antichrist.

The Bible and the Future of the United States (Part 2)

END-TIMES PROPHECY SERIES

 

As we study biblical prophecy and find that the future of many nations is clearly presented in Scripture, what role does the United States of America play in the end times? How should we interpret the silence of Scripture concerning the United States? If we do not fall from within or from without, how do we explain the United States becoming a second-rate nation in the last days? In today’s message, Dr. Gonzalez will continue answering these and other questions.

The Bible and the Future of the United States (Part 1)

END-TIMES PROPHECY SERIES

 

Paul told the Athenians in Act 17:24-28 (NLT), He is the God who made the world and everything in it. Since he is Lord of heaven and earth, he doesn’t live in man-made temples, and human hands can’t serve his needs—for he has no needs. He himself gives life and breath to everything, and he satisfies every need there is. From one man he created all the nations throughout the whole earth. He decided beforehand which should rise and fall, and he determined their boundaries. His purpose in all of this was that the nations should seek after God and perhaps feel their way toward him and find him—though he is not far from any one of us. For in him we live and move and exist. As one of your own poets says, ‘We are his offspring.’

Job 12:23 says, He makes nations great, then destroys them; he enlarges nations, then leads them away.

Dr. Gonzalez states that those 2 verses, among others, make the point quite clear. God is an omnipotent, omniscient, and sovereign God who is in control everything. Implied in those passages as well, is the fact that He is also very personal and close to all that He has created, particularly man. Although He is a transcendent God, He is also very much a part of world history and involved in the affairs of man. The destiny, and for that matter, the very existence of nations and their inhabitants is determined by God, for He rules over all.

As we study biblical prophecy and find that the future of many nations is clearly presented in Scripture, can we determine whether the United States is one of those nations? What role does the United States of America play in the end times? In the next few messages Dr. Gonzalez will answer these and other questions.

Key Figures In The Tribulation (Part 4)

END-TIMES PROPHECY SERIES

 

In this final session of Dr. Gonzalez’s study of the key figures in the Tribulation period, he wraps up his discussion about the 144,000 and ends this topic by looking at the two witnesses whom God will raise up and who will bear testimony to Him. When they have completed their ministry, they will be put to death by the Antichrist, with the unbelieving world rejoicing and celebrating this terrible act. But to their amazement, the two will be raised from the dead and taken to heaven.

Key Figures In The Tribulation (Part 3)

END-TIMES PROPHECY SERIES

 

We read in Revelation 13:11-12, Then I saw another beast coming up out of the earth; it had two horns like a lamb, but it spoke like a dragon. It exercises all the authority of the first beast on its behalf and compels the earth and those who live on it to worship the first beast, whose fatal wound was healed.

There is a second “beast” mentioned in Revelation, the third member of the evil trio who is subservient to the first “beast” (the Antichrist). He is also called the false prophet. The name False Prophet clearly indicates that he will be the leading religious figure during the Tribulation whose activities are religious in nature. He will be capable of working signs, which will be important in deceiving the unbelieving world into worshiping the Antichrist.

In part 3 of his study on the key figures in the Tribulation, Dr. Gonzalez will wrap up his discussion about the False Prophet and begin looking at the 144,000 Jews from the 12 tribes of Israel.

Key Figures In The Tribulation (Part 2)

END-TIMES PROPHECY SERIES

 

There are several passages in Scripture, both in the Old and New Testaments that clearly indicate that the Antichrist will be endowed by Satan with great abilities and power. Dr. Gonzalez explains that he will be precisely the kind of individual that the world is ready for, a charismatic personality who will successfully and easily win over the hearts and minds of the inhabitants of the earth. The Bible suggests the following things about him: He will be a great leader, someone with an incredible ability to solve complex problems and who will be able to take control of situations. He will be very smart, perhaps a highly educated individual with a keen grasp of both economic and political matters. Considering the events taking place during his time of reign, he will be both brilliant and powerful militarily. Finally, his craftiness and oratorical abilities will enable him to persuade multitudes from all over the world to follow him. Dr. Gonzalez reminds us that his abilities, power, and authority to rule is given to him by Satan.

In this study, Dr. Gonzalez will also start his discussion about the False Prophet spoken of in the book of Revelation.

Key Figures In The Tribulation (Part 1)

END-TIMES PROPHECY SERIES

 

Antichrist is used once in 1 John 2:18. The title says something significant about his character and intentions. In relation to the Antichrist, the proposition anti carries with it or conveys two ideas: (1) the idea of opposition to Jesus and His mission or purpose, and (2) the idea of “in place of” or being a substitute. This will also hold true of the Antichrist since he will be Satan’s substitute messiah. He is also known as the “man of lawlessness” (2 Thess. 2:3). Since he lives outside of God’s laws, this title highlights his personal wickedness. In Revelation 13 and 14, he is called “the beast,” a title which clearly emphasizes his depravity and deep hostility towards God and God’s people. In Daniel 7:8, we find him called the “little” horn, a name which allows his pride and aggressiveness to be seen. It also speaks to the relative power that he will have because, often in the Old Testament, this term is used to describe power, such as a king.

Over the next four studies, Dr. Gonzalez will spend time teaching on the key figures of the Tribulation period. The first two studies will focus specifically on the Antichrist; during today’s study, Dr. Gonzalez will discuss the person of the Antichrist, during the second study, he will discuss the career of the Antichrist.

The Rapture of the Church (Part 3)

END-TIMES PROPHECY SERIES

 

In 1 Thessalonians 4:16-18 Paul wrote, For the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the archangel’s voice, and with the trumpet of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are still alive, who are left, will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we will always be with the Lord. Therefore encourage one another with these words.

In an earlier chapter of that same epistle Paul said, And to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead, even Jesus, which delivered us from the wrath to come (1 Thess. 1:10 KJV).

In this final study of the doctrine of the Rapture of the church, Dr. Gonzalez continues to argue for the pretribulational rapture of the church by presenting the final four biblical arguments.

The Rapture of the Church (Part 2)

END-TIMES PROPHECY SERIES

 

Paul wrote in Titus 2:13, While we wait for the blessed hope, the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ.

In Part 2 of Dr. Gonzalez’s study of the doctrine of the Rapture of the church, he will present the various positions regarding the time of the Rapture. He will then begin making the biblical case for the pretribulational rapture of the church.

Those of who hold to this position believe that the rapture of the church will occur prior to the start of the tribulation period. Dr. Gonzalez explains that the first phase of His return is imminent, that no prophecy must be fulfilled for the rapture to take place, and that it will occur without any prior signs or warnings. The rapture of the church will bring the church-age to an end, allowing God to continue and finish His program for Israel.
