The Lord Jesus is Coming Again (Fowey Fellowship)

One of the most important doctrines of Scripture is the certain coming again of the Lord Jesus. As sure as He came as a babe to Bethlehem, lived on this earth, was crucified, resurrected and ascended to His Father in Heaven, someday, soon we believe, He will return: first to the air to gather His Church of born again believers, then to return to set up His Millennium Kingdom upon this earth, to literally, actually and personally take to Himself His great power and reign in righteous judgement.

1 Thessalonians 4:16-17.  For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:  then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.

The emissaries of Satan - the fowls of the air

And so we come to the final summary of this series in which we seek to recap on the main points we looked at throughout the 15 episodes. We trust that you have been encouraged to think about the Rapture of the Church which we believe is imminent and you eternal destiny. Our world is hurtling along the broad road that leads to destruction. We see a great fall away from the truths of God’s Word in many churches. Are you ready to meet God. Whether you like it or not someday you will meet Him, either as your Saviour and Redeemer or as your Judge, the choice is yours - eternity in Heaven or eternity in Hell.

Laodicea, the final church to be examined and given a report as to their condition before God and as described by the Lord Jesus in Revelation chapter 3: " I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot. I would that you were cold or hot. So because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will vomit you out of My mouth. Because you say, I am rich and increased with goods and have need of nothing, and do not know that you are wretched and miserable and poor and blind and naked. I counsel you to buy from Me gold tried in the fire, so that you may be rich; and white clothing, so that you may be clothed, and so that the shame of your nakedness does not appear. And anoint your eyes with eye salve, so that you may see. As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten; therefore be zealous and repent. Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and will dine with him and he with Me." It is generally accepted that this church typifies many of the churches in these present days. What a challenge and what a warning!

The Spirit of the Antichrist, his evil doctrines and practices are already evident in the world and have been since the times of the Apostles. However, during the Great Tribulation when he will be revealed these abominations will increase to an extent that has never been experienced heretofore.

" A certain nobleman went into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom, and to return. And he called his ten servants, and delivered them ten pounds, and said unto them, Occupy till I come - trade until I come back". Our Lord has gone away and will return but in the meantime has entrusted His Word, Doctrines and Gospel Message to us and says "Trade until I come back" - how does my "Trading Account" or the Balance Sheet" look?

An understanding of how Jewish Weddings were held in the time of Christ is helpful in order to understand some of the doctrines of Scripture.

We must be prepared and looking for the Lord's return for His Bride, the Church.

These parables form part of the great Olivet discourse. Here the coming King reveals to His followers the future concerning the Jewish nation and of Jerusalem from where He will reign when he returns to rule in majesty, justice and righteousness upon earth in his great Millennium Kingdom

What will the Seven Year Tribulation really be like? Daniel gives us a few suggestions.

We seek to hear what Jesus had to say to His disciples regarding the end of the age.

We will look at the truly remarkable prophecy given to the Prophet Daniel by the angel Gabriel commonly known as Daniel’s Seventy Weeks. Seventy weeks of years or put another way, 490 years of earth shattering events of prophecy!

Everybody has heard about Daniel in the Den of Lions but there is a lot more in the Book of Daniel and its author than a few stories that are told to children. We will endeavour to fathom the meaning of the amazing prophecies given to Daniel which have a major bearing on our understanding of the Second Coming of the Lord Jesus and His Millennium Reign on earth.

In this talk we endeavour to glean from Scripture what in fact it will be like when our Lord returns to earth in power and glory at the commencement of and during His Millennium Reign.

In this talk we look at the twofold aspect of the Lord’s Coming. He will come to the air for His Church described as a Bridegroom coming for His Bride. Following the Great Tribulation He will come to this earth, ushering in the Day of The Lord to bring in His reign of righteousness and judgement, vividly depicted as the coming of a “thief in the night”.
