Revelation 20:The enemy’s most hated chapter – his end is sure!

Garden of Earthly DelightsBosch (c. 1490-1510)

Why is Jesus coming?- to complete our salvation- to convert the rest of the Jews- to crush Satan and evil- to command the earth as King - to condemn the ungodly- to create the new heavens & earth- to consummate history

I do not want you to be ignorant of this mystery, brothers, so that you may not be conceited: Israel has experienced a hardening in part until the full number of the Gentiles has come in. And so all Israel will be saved, as it is written:

“The deliverer will come from Zion;he will turn godlessness away from Jacob. And this is my covenant with themwhen I take away their sins.”

Romans 11: 25-27 (NIV)

In putting everything under him, God left nothing that is not subject to him. Yet at present we do not see everything subject to him. But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels, now crowned with glory and honor because he suffered death, so that by the grace of God he might taste death for everyone. Hebrews 2:8-9 (NIV)

Jerusalem will be trampled on by the Gentiles until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled.

Luke 21:24 (NIV)

I was given a reed like a measuring rod and was told, “Go and measure the temple of God and the altar, and count the worshipers there. But exclude the outer court; do not measure it, because it has been given to the Gentiles. They will trample on the holy city for 42 months.”The beast was given a mouth to utter proud words and blasphemies and to exercise his authority for forty-two months.

Revelation 11:1-2, 13:5 (NIV)

Waiting for the end of the Time of the Gentiles!

How great is the love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are! The reason the world does not know us is that it did not know him. Dear friends, now we are children of God, and what we will be has not yet been made known. But we know that when he appears, we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is. Everyone who has this hope in him purifies himself, just as he is pure. 1 John 3: 1-3 (NIV)
