END TIMES | THE RIGHTEOUS REIGN OF JESUS

1. End Times

a) Many people are fascinated with thinking and studying about the end times. The study of Eschatology (or end times) is a very large subject. Deep down inside all of us we long to know what is next or what happens after this life.

b) If you have ever attended a funeral service for anyone you probably asked yourself this question. In fact, contemplation of what happens after this life will often lead someone to search their own faith and belief system. For us, it lead to making a decision to follow Jesus Christ as my Savior and Lord. He is the only answer that makes any sense in our mind. 

c) The Bible tells us much about not only Jesus but how this world will one day end. Major events like judgment, tribulation, abomination that leads to desolation, the rapture (or to be "caught up" according to Thessalonians), and the millennium will occur one day. 

2. The Righteous Reign Of Jesus

Isaiah 2:3-4  
Many peoples shall come, and say: “Come, let us go up to the mountain of the LORD,  to the house of the God of Jacob,   that he may teach us his ways and that we may walk in his paths.”   For out of Zion shall go the law, and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem. He shall judge between the nations,   and shall decide disputes for many peoples;  and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning hooks; nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war anymore.

Isaiah 11:2-5  
And the Spirit of the LORD shall rest upon him,   the Spirit of wisdom and understanding, the Spirit of counsel and might, the Spirit of knowledge and the fear of the LORD.  And his delight shall be in the fear of the LORD.  He shall not judge by what his eyes see, or decide disputes by what his ears hear,  but  with righteousness he shall judge the poor,  and decide with equity for the meek of the earth;  and he shall strike the earth with the rod of his mouth, and with the breath of his lips  he shall kill the wicked. Righteousness shall be the belt of his waist,  and faithfulness the belt of his loins.
