This document provides an introduction to basic eschatology by outlining three major views - premillennialism, postmillennialism, and amillennialism. It focuses on explaining the premillennial pre-tribulation view, which believes that Christ will return before a future seven-year tribulation period to rapture the church, allowing for a literal 1,000 year millennial reign on earth. Key events like the tribulation, millennium, and rapture are described from the perspective of this view. Challenges with alternative postmillennial and amillennial views are also briefly discussed. The document aims to introduce these major eschatological doctrines and the biblical justifications for the premill
El documento describe el poder del rompimiento que Jesús trajo al mundo. Jesús rompió la historia humana al ser crucificado, pagando el precio de los pecados de la humanidad y venciendo a la muerte.

Ahora los creyentes pueden acceder a las promesas de Dios y experimentar sanidad, libertad y un futuro seguro.
This document provides a summary of Lesson 9 from a Bible study series on the book of Revelation. It discusses chapters 13:1-18 which describe two beasts - the beast from the sea and the beast from the earth. The beast from the sea is identified as the papacy due to its activities between 538AD-1798AD. The beast from the earth is identified as the United States due to its role in forming an image of the first beast. The mark of the beast represents worship of God or man, and will separate people into two groups before Christ's second coming.

El altar del holocausto era el mueble más grande del santuario terrenal. Estaba hecho de madera de acacia revestida de bronce, medía 5 codos cuadrados por 3 de alto, y tenía cuernos en las esquinas. Representaba a Cristo como sacrificio por los pecados, y su fuego continuo simbolizaba la eficacia eterna de la salvación a través de Él.

Finalmente, señala que la única forma de deshacerse de la raíz de amargura es a través del perdón.
This document discusses spirit-filled spirituality and walking in the power of the Holy Spirit. It covers the person and work of the Holy Spirit, including His 12 ministries. The Holy Spirit is not a force but a person, referred to as the Paraclete. Sanctification involves being possessed by the Spirit and bearing the fruit of the Spirit. True spiritual maturity depends on being Christ-centered rather than focused on spiritual experiences themselves. The temptation is to rely on human effort rather than the surprising work of the Spirit.

6 atonement limited and unlimited atonementdrrevdev
This lecture discusses different views on the scope of Christ's atonement. It explores whether Christ died for all people (universal atonement) or only for the elect (limited atonement). It examines biblical texts used to support both views and considers logical arguments. It also analyzes Christ's cry of dereliction on the cross, discussing whether he was utterly forsaken by God or forsaken unto death. Scholastic theologians generally took the latter view to preserve the Trinity, though some modern scholars argue he was divided from the Father. The lecture considers multiple ways to interpret this pivotal event.

1. The document discusses the seven bowl judgments from Revelation 16, which represent God's wrath being poured out on humankind for their sins and refusal to repent. It analyzes each judgment and explains their symbolic and historical meanings.
2. A key point is that God uses discipline and judgments to turn people toward Him, but humans consistently choose not to repent and instead harden their hearts against God.
3. The conclusion exhorts the reader to accept Jesus Christ as their savior in order to be reconciled with God and receive salvation and eternal life, rather than face God's judgment alone.

3. The conclusion exhorts the reader to accept Jesus Christ as their savior in order to be reconciled with God and receive salvation and eternal life, rather than face God's judgment alone.
The document discusses different perspectives on hell from the Bible. It notes that the Hebrew Bible does not have a single concept of hell, instead referring to Sheol, the grave or place of the dead. The New Testament references include Gehenna, a garbage dump outside Jerusalem seen as symbolic of judgment, as well as Hades. Jesus' comments about hell focus on warning religious people about straying from God rather than compelling non-believers. Ultimately, the document says the nature and mechanics of the afterlife are less clear than commonly believed, but the Creed affirms Jesus' sacrifice redeemed all from death.
This is a study of Jesus being our Savior by both death and life. His life after His death for us plays a very important role in our relationship to God, and it is seldom considered.
The document provides an overview and summary of the key events and themes in the book of Revelation in 22 minutes. It covers the background of the author and time of writing, then summarizes each chapter or group of chapters. The summaries highlight the symbolic imagery and themes of judgment, persecution of Christians, and ultimate victory of God and the lamb. It emphasizes that Revelation was written to provide hope and comfort to Christians facing persecution.
Brochure - NEW REVELATION - Divine answers to faith-related issues - ed. 1Simona P
The document discusses responses to issues raised by atheists regarding God and Christianity. It addresses the problem of evil and suffering in 3 main points:
1) Hardships in life are often caused by selfish and unscrupulous people, not God. God allows free will and its consequences to establish equilibrium.
2) Life involves testing one's free will. God respects free will and only intervenes minimally to maintain order. Suffering can be a countermeasure for transgressions.
3) God's goal is to develop free beings, so He cannot intervene overtly in human affairs but quietly guides development. Judgment is a last resort to deter threats to freedom.
The document discusses determining truth and proper treatment of enemies. It argues that Jesus Christ taught loving one's enemies, in contrast to other teachings of hating enemies. Only God truly loves all people, even his enemies. The document examines multiple Bible passages to support arguments that God will save all people through Christ and that views of eternal hell or condemnation are incorrect. It emphasizes taking the Bible literally and that God's truth is irrefutable.
A Hopeful and Secure Future - Revelation 21 & 22Vintage Church
1) The document provides a prayer asking God to help remove barriers between people and help humanity live in justice and peace.
2) It then discusses the concept of Christian Universalism, which holds that through Jesus' life, death, and resurrection all people and things will ultimately be reconciled to God.
3) Several passages from Revelation 21-22 are presented that describe a future time when there will be a new heaven, new earth, and New Jerusalem where God and the Lamb will dwell with humanity and there will be no more death or suffering.
This document provides a summary of how God has guided his people throughout biblical history by pointing his finger. It discusses instances from the Old Testament where God's finger was pointed, such as at Adam and Eve after the fall, at Noah to build the ark, and at Abram to leave his family and follow God. The document then focuses on the story of Lot, who separated from Abram and settled in Sodom and Gomorrah, which were sinful cities. God later rescued Lot and his family from those cities. The document suggests God continues to point his finger to guide people today.
The document discusses what the Bible says about hell. It states that hell is a place of choice, as people choose whether to accept God and His salvation or reject Him. It also says hell is a place of truth, where the true nature of those who reject God will be revealed. Even seemingly good people deserve hell according to the Bible, as all have sinned and fallen short of God's standard of righteousness.
Presentationon Evangelical SoteriologyKyle Roberts
This document summarizes key aspects of evangelical Christian theology related to salvation. It discusses what happened in the Garden of Eden according to Genesis, noting different views on how human nature was affected by the Fall. It also examines several theories of atonement to explain what happened at the cross. The document acknowledges challenges to traditional evangelical views, such as penal substitution, and calls for reconstructing these views in light of broader theological considerations and voices that evangelicals should hear.
1. The document discusses interpreting chapters in the Bible by asking three questions: what does it say, what does it mean, and what will I do about it.
2. It then summarizes Revelation chapter 17, explaining symbols like the woman riding the beast represent a false belief system that will be destroyed.
3. The ten horns on the beast represent 10 world leaders who will oppose God but ultimately be defeated when Jesus returns as king.
The document discusses the problem of suffering and how it relates to beliefs about God. It notes that an all-powerful and all-good God would presumably want to prevent human suffering but that suffering exists, posing a challenge. It considers several Christian perspectives on why God might allow suffering, such as that it results from human free will and moral choices or that God works through suffering for a higher purpose. It suggests suffering will ultimately be addressed when God ends all suffering in the future.
Christ was exalted by God to be a Prince and Savior in order to give repentance and forgiveness of sins. As the exalted one, Christ meets the needs of humanity by providing both great leadership as King and compassion as Savior. Through His exaltation, Christ is able to give the gifts of repentance from sin and forgiveness of sins to those who turn to Him. These gifts come through Christ's work and are applied by the Holy Spirit, transforming the soul.

"These are the times that try men's souls."
This simple quotation from one of America's Founding Fathers, Thomas Paine, not only describes the beginnings of the American Revolution, but also the the increasingly crazy world of 2014.
Many people may be distracted by such times but followers of Jesus must keep their eyes on Jesus and stay the course, not give up and run the race God has assigned to each of us till He calls us home or He comes back to earth.
This message is a reminder of the high stakes of staying in the race until the end and not giving up.
Why a God who IS love and HAS wrath is good newsVintage Church
1) The document discusses the nature of God's love and wrath according to various biblical authors and theologians.
2) There are differing views presented on whether God's wrath should be understood as literal anger or as a metaphor for the consequences of sin.
3) It is argued that based on the revelation of God through Jesus, God's love is an eternal aspect of God's character, while wrath is a occasional response to injustice and idolatry aimed at restoration, not punishment.
God is sovereign over all things. As the Creator, he has absolute power and right to govern the universe as he chooses for his own glory. To deny God's sovereignty is to deny his omnipotence and replace him with another supreme power. While God's power is sometimes dormant, when exercised it is always irresistible. God sovereignly bestows his mercy and delegates his power as he alone decides, showing no partiality.
The document discusses the question of how God can be all-loving yet send people to Hell for eternity. It provides several key points:
1) The Bible clearly teaches the reality of Hell as the final punishment for those who reject God. Hell is prepared for Satan and demons but now serves as the eternal fate for the unrepentant.
2) God desires all people to be saved but also demands justice for sin. Hell's purpose is to punish evil and allow free will, not to torture people endlessly.
3) While God wants salvation for all, people willingly choose Hell by rejecting Him. Only eternal punishment fits sins against an eternal God. Hell is "locked from the inside

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can

Restorationism
(AKA Christian Universalism)
by Frank DeRemer
Prior to Augustine (AD 354-430) Christians held all three views
of hell without condemning each other.
Question:
If you were captain of a ship that arrived at a sinking yacht,
that had your whole family aboard,
how many would you save?
2. I grew up in church.
Not all I heard have I found not to be Biblical:
Salvation is a one-time transaction.
No, relationship, e.g., marriage
Salvation is about “dying and going to heaven”.
No, resurrection, life on a new earth
Salvation is all about me. (benefits to me)
No, God getting his lost sons back, His kingdom
Lost coin, lost sheep, lost son
Salvation is about avoiding hell, gaining heaven.
No NT sermon makes either point
3. Jesus often mentioned avoiding hell
No, only on 4 occasions re GeHenna, not hell:
KJV, others: “gehenna” translated “hell”
Greek “Ge” land or valley; “Henna” Hinnom
“GeHenna” the Valley of Hinnom, AKA “Tophet”
Isaiah, Jeremiah: people offered babies to idols
Dead Jews of Jeremiah’s time VoH/GeHenna
when Nebuchadnezzar sacked Jerusalem
in 586 BC
Jesus warned Jews of his time of a similar fate
by the Romans -- in AD 70
4. The Biblical timeline:
…creation; fall…
… …
…now (building His kingdom, rescuing sons)…
heaven, with Jesus, if Jesus is your Lord
…resurrection&rapture; judgment…sentence…
Sentence:
– righteous: new earth
– wicked: punishment (hell: the lake of fire)
This we do know
5. More Bible facts:
OT: no hell, just sheol, the place/state of the dead
NT: rarely hell--hades, the place/state of the dead
Lazarus, rich man pre-resurrection interim, not hell
Paul: with Jesus after death, pre-resurrection
Paul & Revelation say we believers will be
on the new earth after the resurrection
Tartarus once; where fallen angels are now
Hades/Sheol cast into the lake of fire (Rev. 20:14)
so not the same as the lake of fire
6. Hell:
the place of punishment, the lake of fire
after resurrection & rapture then judgment
only mentioned in a handful of places,
in apocalyptic contexts
we are told little
no epistle defines hell
as if God didn’t want to tell us much about it
Who goes there? For what purpose? For how
long?
7. Theologian Thomas Talbot: a logical approach.
Reason not from the details up to God,
putting God in a box,
but from the Bible’s big picture; fit hell into that.
Talbot’s Template –
three statements that cannot all be true:
1. God’s redemptive purpose (His will)
is to reconcile all sinners to Himself.
2. God is sovereignly able
to achieve His redemptive purpose.
3. Some sinners will never be reconciled to God.
8. 1. Arminian theology: Scores of #1 verses - some:
Ps 66:3-4; Ps 22:27,29; Ps 86:9; Isa 45:22-23;
Phil 2:10-11; Ac 3:21;
Rom 5:18; Eph 1:10; Col 1:19-20; Rev 5:13
2. Calvinist theology: Scores of #2 verses - some:
Job 42:2, Eph 1:11, Phil 3:21, Matt 19:25-26
3. A handful of verses seem to support idea #3;
they are in apocalyptic passages
(discussed below)
Remarkably, As & Cs agree on #3
and fight about how
to interpret the many #1 & #2 verses.
9. The restorationist chooses #1 & #2 as true;
the least supported, #3, is suspect.
Therefore, all eventually must be saved, even if
after the judgment and serving their sentence.
God too would save all His family, every last one!
“With God all things are possible”,
“above & beyond anything we may ask or think”.
God is like a great chess master, able to play the
entire human race at once and win.
Win them all over to His great love, even if some
require more than a lifetime to be won.
10. Possible timeline (?):
righteous: new earth …...……. ∞
sentence … repent?
wicked: punished
redemptive
according to their deeds
leading to repentance:
redeemed by the blood
of Christ, as are we all
11. What about the few verses that seem to support
#3,
some sinners never reconciled with God?
Consider the words translated “eternal”:
Hebrew olam and Greek aionios.
Both refer to periods of indefinite length,
including but not limited to infinity.
Both are used of periods known to be finite.
Olam means “beyond the horizon”.
The smoke rising from Sodom was olam.
Aionios means “age enduring” or “lasting”.
Josephus: JtB was in jail aionios, three years.
12. The Parable of the Sheep and Goats:
The Final Judgment (Matt 25:31-46)
Jesus said, (the lake?)
“Depart from me, you cursed, into aionios fire
prepared for the devil and his angels.”
(he didn’t say that it was prepared for people)
See also Rev 19:20, 20:10,14,15.
Difficulty (v46): age-related?
“and these will go away into aionios punishment,
but the righteous into aionios life.”
God-kind?
13. How could eternal torture be
“according to their works/deeds”, i.e.
proportional?
(many verses, e.g., Rev 20:12-13)
If instead all are tortured forever,
then they all get infinite punishment.
Objection: different degrees –– but 150 * ∞ = ∞
and 1,000 * ∞ = ∞
Justice is never served ––
punishment never ends, sin is always a problem
God’s intended idyllic universe
is always contaminated with unrepentant sinners
The problem of sin is never resolved/finished.
A major problem!
14. Better: God annihilates sinners after a finite time,
but God is still the loser:
Jesus came to save “that that was lost”
(it does not say only some lost)
Jesus’ sacrifice was for “all the world” ––
ineffective if all do not come to Him
(SEAL Team 6 goes for 10, saves 1; success?)
God desires that all come to salvation,
not just some (God’s heart for His kids)
Lost coin, lost sheep, lost son – owner’s loss
God’s desire thwarted if not all come, eventually..
Another major problem!
15. Restorationism
God is brilliant, to wit, creation
He can “play chess” with all humans
simultaneously
God foresaw the fall and the problem of sin
He had a plan for our good future
God’s grace is unfathomable. God is love.
Love never fails/gives up. Love wins in the end.
God’s punishments have a redemptive purpose
The duration: “according to their works”,
and until they finally “see the light”
“Every knee shall bow, every tongue confess that
Jesus is Lord, TO THE GLORY OF GOD”
16. Where is it written that God cannot forgive
after judgment & punishment for deeds done?
It is neither stated that He will nor that He will not,
but His desire is for ALL to be saved.
Who set up this system? God.
Would He set up a system in which most of His sons
would be tortured forever? Or annihilated?
Is that consistent with His nature?
God is light. God is love. Love never fails.
God is sometimes angry & meets out vengeance,
but “joy comes in the morning”.
He is not anger or vengeance.
So what kind of system would He set up?
17. William Barclay, conservative evangelical scholar (AD 1907-1978):
“If God was no more than a King or Judge,
then it would be possible to speak of his triumph,
if his enemies were agonizing in hell or
were totally and completely obliterated and wiped out.
But God is not only King and Judge, God is Father ––
he is indeed Father more than anything else.
No father could be happy
while there were members of his family for ever in agony.
No father would count it a triumph
to obliterate the disobedient members of his family.
The only triumph a father can know is
to have all his family back home.
The only victory love can enjoy is the day when
its offer of love is answered by the return of love.
The only possible final triumph is
a universe loved by and in love with God.”
18. The Three Views Compared
• After the resurrection of just & unjust,
unjust are separated to themselves
• ET: Separation from God is forever
• CI: No, finite, per person, per deeds,
then allowed to cease to exist
• UR: Yes, finite, per deeds, but also
redemptive (God wooing each;
each to new earth, no rewards
