Luke 22:42 “saying, "Father, if it is Your will, take this cup away from Me; nevertheless, not My will, but Yours, be done.”    As I have already alluded to in a previous section, the soul of man can be further divided into three separate parts. The first part of the soul of man which we will discuss in this section is the will of man. Unlike our spirits which become new creations when we are born-again, the will of man does not change after salvation. In other words after w

Deuteronomy 6:5 “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your strength.”   Before we can discuss the make up of the soul of man we need to first establish the fact that the mind indeed forms part of the soul. In the above quoted passage of scripture from the Old Testament the Holy Spirit refers to the three main components of mankind which we have already mentioned, for He refers to the heart, soul and strength of man. The scrip

John 3:3-5 “Jesus answered and said to him, "Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God."  (4)  Nicodemus said to Him, "How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter a second time into his mother's womb and be born?"  (5)  Jesus answered, "Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God.”   There are certain truths revealed to us in the New Testament that cannot be

But the rest of the dead did not live again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection. (Revelation 20:5)   As we have already discussed, only the saints partake in the first resurrection. Nevertheless, the passage quoted above reveals that the rest of the dead  will live again after the Lord’s millennial reign. This raises an important question: who are the rest of the dead  to whom this passage refers? It is not referring to unbelievers. Althoug

But you have come to Mount Zion and to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, to an innumerable company of angels, to the general assembly and church of the firstborn who are registered in heaven, to God the Judge of all, to the spirits of just men made perfect, to Jesus the Mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling that speaks better things than that of Abel. (Hebrews 12:22-24)   Heaven is presently populated by three distinct classes of God’

Do not marvel at this; for the hour is coming in which all who are in the graves will hear His voice and come forth-- those who have done good, to the resurrection of life, and those who have done evil, to the resurrection of condemnation. (John 5:28-29)   In the previous section, we saw that the last major event before the second resurrection is the battle of Gog and Magog. Although Scripture does not reveal exactly how long after this event the second resurrection will occ

3          Destruction of Gog and Magog   Now when the thousand years have expired, Satan will be released from his prison and will go out to deceive the nations which are in the four corners of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to battle, whose number is as the sand of the sea. They went up on the breadth of the earth and surrounded the camp of the saints and the beloved city. And fire came down from God out of heaven and devoured them. The devil, who deceive

1.1         Populations in the Millennium   We have thus far estimated that approximately one million saints will return with the Lord Jesus to reign with Him during the millennium. There are several reasons why this number fits well within the scriptural narrative. Earlier, we estimated that at the battle of Armageddon the Antichrist’s army would number approximately 1.5 million men. Throughout Scripture, the Lord consistently fields a smaller army than His enemies, thereby

1           The millennial reign of Christ   And I saw thrones, and they sat on them, and judgment was committed to them. Then I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for their witness to Jesus and for the word of God, who had not worshiped the beast or his image, and had not received his mark on their foreheads or on their hands. And they lived and reigned with Christ for a thousand years. (Revelation 20:4)   After the battle of Armageddon, the Lord Jesus will begin

As with the first resurrection, certain events must take place before the second resurrection can occur. In this section, we will briefly outline the three primary events that must precede the resurrection of condemnation. These events are: 1.       Armageddon 2.      The millennial reign of Christ 3.      The destruction of Gog and Magog   1           Armageddon   And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs coming out of the mouth of the dragon, out of the mouth of the beast

(John 5:28-29)   In an earlier section, we discussed the first of the two resurrections—namely, the resurrection of the saints. In the passage quoted above, Jesus refers to both resurrections: the first He calls the resurrection of life, an

1 Corinthians 10:27-29 “If any of those who do not believe invites you to dinner, and you desire to go, eat whatever is set before you, asking no question for conscience' sake.  (28)  But if anyone says to you, "This was offered to idols," do not eat it for the sake of the one who told you, and for conscience' sake; for "the earth is the Lord’s, and all its fullness."  (29)  "Conscience," I say, not your own, but that of the other.
