The Great Tribulation was referred to in the Old Testament as the "time of trouble," Jeremiah 30:7. Two things will happen to Israel during the Tribulation: 1) Israel will be disciplined for her rejection of the Messiah, Jesus Christ, and 2) Jews will be prepared to receive their Messiah "whom they pierced," Zechariah 12:10. In Revelation 7, we have the evidence of a great revival which will come to the earth and be centered around the nation Israel. It's easy to think that the Tribulation period is going to be nothing but darkness and horror on earth. But like so many other dark days on planet earth, with God, there is always light. In fact, God releases 144,000 points of light to roam the earth and preach the good news. This Sunday we will see this great revival.

When God makes all things new
March 25, 2018 • Dr. Danny Lovett
Revelation 21 is our text this week. When we begin to speak of eternal matters, we have entered a realm where we have difficulties getting our heads wrapped around this topic. Our mortal minds can’t begin to comprehend an existence that is eternal and perfect. We are so tied to time and accustomed to the concerns of this present life that we really can’t even imagine what heaven will be like. All we can do is read our Bibles, believe what God says about heaven, and rejoice in what awaits us, even though we can’t possibly grasp it all now. The title of the message for Sunday is When God Makes All Things New.
The Millenium

Some 250 years ago a man name Isaac Watts wrote a hymn based on Psalm 98 called “Joy to the World.” We sing this hymn at Christmas to celebrate Christ’s first coming. It's a favorite Christmas song, but the song is really about Christ's second coming. "He rules the world with truth and grace..." Watts wrote the hymn to celebrate the Kingship of Christ over all the earth, as the words indicate. This Sunday we will see what the Millennium means to us.
