Few aspects of the discussion of end times has generated more debate than the issue of the millennium - that 1,000 year period John speaks of in Revelation 20. Is it a literal time period, or an expression for a really long time? When does it begin, and what will accompany it's end? Are we in the millennium now, or does it follow the return of Christ at some point in the future? These and other questions will be explored in our time together.

Paul refers to those who fallen "asleep" in Christ throughout his letters. Is he speaking literally, or is the sleep merely a metaphor for death? Some believe that when we die, we go immediately to be with the Lord, while others believe Paul is speaking literally, and that our awakening comes at the resurrection at the end of history.

Daniel paints one of the most compelling portraits of hope and victory in the coming of "one like a son of man". To what extent does this passage refer to Jesus' first coming, and to what extent is it yet to be fulfilled in his second? And what does the dash in between those fulfillments tell us about our life today?

Even though the word "rapture" never occurs in the Bible, the image of the saints rising into the clouds to meet Jesus is one of the firmly entrenched fixtures in the minds of many believers. The term comes from these verses in 1 Thessalonians, and actually says far more about the nature of our future life on earth than most people think.

A huge budget deficit, devastating earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, wars and rumors of wars - all of these things have combined to create a deep sense of insecurity in the hearts and minds of many people, which then raise questions about God's plans for the end of history. We begin this series with the end: our side wins. And God wants to live not with a spirit of timidity or fear, but with a deep sense of confidence in his victory won for us.
