LAST THINGS
God, in His own time and in His own
way, will bring the world to its appropriate end. According to His promise,
Jesus Christ will return personally and visibly in glory to the earth; the dead
will be raised; and Christ will judge all men in righteousness. The unrighteous
will be consigned to Hell, the place of everlasting punishment. The righteous in
their resurrected and glorified bodies will receive their reward and will dwell
forever in Heaven with the Lord. Isaiah 2:4; Isaiah 11:9; Matthew 16:27;
