Jesus is coming again. At His return, those who have placed their faith and trust in Christ will be received into the New Heaven and the New Earth. Those who have rejected Christ will face the final consequence of their sin, eternal separation from God in hell.
Regarding the details of how these events unfold, we teach that God will literally fulfill the physical promises He made to Israel in the Old Testament (Isaiah 2; Genesis 15). These promises must come to pass because God is always faithful to His word. We do not believe that the church has replaced Israel, nor that these promises have been allegorized and transferred to the church. Rather, Scripture teaches that a remnant of Israel will come to faith in Christ during the end times. Through judgment and purification, this remnant will become the true national Israel (Zechariah 13:8–9). God will keep His promises to Israel just as He keeps His promises to the church. Together, both Israel and the church will receive God’s mercy through faith in Christ, a mercy made possible only through Christ’s sacrificial death on the cross (Romans 11:25–32).
Using a grammatical-historical approach to interpreting Daniel and Revelation, we see a clear timeline and framework for the end times. We teach that a future tribulation will come upon the earth. Following this tribulation, Christ will return and establish His earthly kingdom for 1,000 years, during which all His eschatological promises to Israel will be fulfilled. After this millennial reign, Satan will be released for a short time and will again deceive the nations. Finally, the Lord will decisively defeat all satanic opposition and bring all humanity, both the living and the dead, before the great white throne judgment, where final judgment will be rendered (Revelation 20).
