NEW LIFE GLOBAL CHURCH / BIBLE STUDY
THE FOUR LAST THINGS:
DEATH, JUDGEMENT, HEAVEN, HELL
INTRODUCTION:
(1) REDEMPTION (TEACHING): (2 CORINTHIANS 5:10)
– FOR WE MUST ALL APPEAR AND BE REVEALED AS WE ARE BEFORE THE JUDGEMENT SEAT OF CHRIST SO THAT EACH ONE MAY RECEIVE HIS PAY ACCORDING TO WHAT HE HAS DONE IN THE BODY, WHETHER GOOD OR EVIL, CONSIDERING WHAT HIS PURPOSE AND MOTIVE HAVE BEEN, AND WHAT HE HAS ACHIEVED, BEEN BUSY WITH AND GIVEN HIMSELF AND HIS ATTENTION TO ACCOMPLISHING! (AMPC)!
(2) APOSTLE ISRAEL: (HEBREWS 6:2)
– WITH TEACHINGS ABOUT PURIFYING, THE LAYING ON OF HANDS, THE RESURRECTION FROM THE DEAD, AND “ETERNAL JUDGMENT AND PUNISHMENT”! THESE ARE ALL MATTERS OF WHICH YOU SHOULD HAVE BEEN FULLY AWARE OF LONG LONG TIME AGO (AMPC)!
(3) ONE OF THE VERY FIRST THINGS GOD BEGAN TO TEACH / GET OVER TO ME AFTER I GOT SAVED WAS THE GREAT REALITY THAT ONE DAY I WAS GOING TO STAND BEFORE HIM TO GIVE AN ACCOUNT REGARDING MY LIFE ON THIS EARTH! HE MADE IT SO CLEAR TO ME TO THE POINT WHERE I BEGAN TO STUDY & RESEARCH THIS VITAL TOPIC FOR YEARS TO COME!
– (HEBREWS 9:27) AND JUST AS IT IS APPOINTED FOR ALL MEN ONCE TO DIE, AND AFTER THAT THE CERTAIN JUDGMENT (2 CORINTHIANS 5:10)!
COMMENTS:
– (2 CORINTHIANS 5:10) – THIS LITTLE WORD “MUST” IS THE GREEK WORD “DEI”, IN THE IMPERATIVE, WITH DEFINITIONS SUCH AS “NECESSARY, BINDING, OBLIGATION, REQUIREMENT”!
– (HEBREWS 9:27) – THIS WORD “APPOINTED” IS ACTUALLY TRANSLATED “RESERVED” AS IN “RESERVATION” IN GREEN’S TRANS., WITH THE GREEK WORD “APO-KEIMAI”, WITH DEFINITIONS SUCH AS “TO AWAIT, TO SET, TO DECREE OFFICIALLY”!
– – – – – – – – – –
TEACHING:
- A) – DEATH:
(1) THE CONCERN FOR THIS PRESENT TEMPORAL LIFE HAS OVER-POWERED THE CONCERN FOR THE LIFE OR THE ETERNAL REALITIES TO COME, REGARDING HEAVEN OR HELL!
(2) RICHARD BAXTER, A 15TH. CENTURY PURITAN SAID: “PREACH AS A DYING MAN TO DYING MEN”! IN OTHER WORDS, ALL OF US ARE GOING TO DIE ONE DAY, (UNLESS WE LIVE TO SEE / EXPERIENCE THE RAPTURE)!!
(3) CEMETERIES / MORGUES / CREMATORIUMS ETC. ARE ALL PROOF THAT ALL OF US ARE SUBJECT TO PHYSICAL DEATH.
(EXPERIENCE AT THE PITA PIT NEAR THE CORNER OF SIMCOE & BEATRICE WITH THE CEMETERY ACROSS THE ROAD)!
(4) WHAT THE LORD TOLD / SHOWED ME ON DAVIS DRIVE AS I WAS ON MY WAY TO PICK UP MY PARENTS AFTER MY SISTER HAD PASSED AWAY: “THERE IS NO ONE IN THAT CEMETERY”!
