God’s Prophetic Program and Future Judgments

The Tribulation:

Following the rapture, a period of unparalleled trouble (the tribulation) will come on the earth (Matthew 24:21; Revelation 6–18).

Christ’s Return to Earth:

At the end of the tribulation, Jesus will return in glory to defeat His enemies and reveal Himself to the world (Matthew 24:29-30; Revelation 19:11-16).

Judgment of Living Nations:

Christ will judge the nations based on their treatment of His people (Matthew 25:31-46).

The Millennium:

Christ will reign on earth for a literal 1,000 years—an era of peace, righteousness, and fulfillment of God’s promises to Israel (Revelation 20:1-6).

Great White Throne Judgment:

After the millennium, all the unsaved will be raised and judged according to their works at the great white throne (Revelation 20:11-15).

New Earth and Eternity:

God will usher in a new heavens and new earth where righteousness dwells, and believers will enjoy eternal fellowship with God (Revelation 21:1-7; 2 Peter 3:13).

The assembly believes in this clear biblical sequence for the future: from the tribulation and Christ’s return,

through His reign, final judgment, and into the eternal state
