INTRODUCTION:
A. This morning I would like to give another reason why I am a member of the church of Christ – I am a member of the Church of Christ because it teaches the kingdom has now been established and Christ is now reigning.
B. The future kingdom theory together with the literal reign of Christ upon the earth for a literal 1,000 years has invaded the denominational world, it is publicly being advocated by their preachers, and it has even invaded the decision making of our government.
1. I could never cast my lot with a religious group which is lending its support to such a wild theory.
2. This wild theory is called “Premillennialism”
Premillennialists are certain that the Lord will return to set up a physical kingdom in Israel and rule from David’s literal throne for one thousand years. Other interesting and bizarre doctrines surround this core idea but that really is premillennialism reduced to its core: we are living before (“pre”) the millennia (thousand year reign of […]

It is true that most of the non-Catholic religious world is premillennial in its teaching. Even those who are not familiar with the word are nevertheless involved in premillennialism’s teaching, influence and support. It has, of course, to do with the reign of Christ, and the fact that Jesus, by their teaching, is to return […]

Sermon outlines by Kevin Cauley on end times. He discusses the tribulation and the thousand year reign.
Introduction:
1. Our series on basics caused us to see the prophecy of the coming Christ — to be Ruler — King — Governor — Savior.
2. So many prophecies emphasized some aspect of a KING and His KINGDOM.
3. We now study in that area, as we proceed in our study.
I. As Jesus Began His Ministry:
A. His message: The kingdom is AT HAND” (Matt. 4:17).
B. John preceded Him with the same message (Matt. 3:2). “At hand” signified “nearness.”
When we water something down, it is diluted, weakened, and made less potent. In the old days, taverns “watered-down” firewater to make it go further. This writer has been in restaurants that did the same thing to ketchup (or catsup) for the same reason. Some medicines are “watered-down” so they will not be too strong […]

A querist asks, “Can you give me an easy definition of Dispensationalism?” Dispensationalism is the theological teaching that Christ will return to the earth to
The philosophy of agnosticism is the primary cause of many of the problems we face in the Lord’s church today. Some members contend that “any” position one takes relative to what any passage of Scripture teaches is “tentative” at best. Every position one holds must be viewed from the standpoint that it has application only […]
In Ezekiel 28, I have understood that this is referring to the King of Tyre. However, I’ve heard parts of it referred to as describing Satan’s fall, especially verses 11 and following. Could this be a dual meaning in this chapter? Let’s read together verses 11-19. First of all, the context is set in verse […]
When asked by their advertising executive to describe a name brand soap for an ad campaign, members of an advertising agency wrote:
Regrettably, there are a number of false ideas circulating about Jesus’ return. For example, despite clear biblical admonitions which state that no one can set a date for Jesus’ return (1 Thessalonians 5:2), many try. Others believe that the Lord will come and rapture His people off this planet before a time of terrible tribulation. […]
The return of the Lord is a truly exciting idea for Christians. When the Lord returns again, His people will be glorified and redeemed. It will be the end of our sorrows and troubles here, as well as the beginning of being with the Lord forever. Paul prayed, “O Lord come!” (1 Corinthians 16:22) and […]
There is a national preoccupation among the religious today with “end times” and the things that are going to happen within the “last days.” This national hype has been fueled by the “Left Behind” book series which is a fictional account of how those who believe the doctrine of premillennialism think the “end of the […]
According to sincere religious folks who believe in dispensationalism (a form of premillennialism), “The Antichrist” is a man, presently living, who will soon rise to the position of a world-wide dictator. In fact, Hal Lindsey believes that the Antichrist will come to power
