Eschatology
We believe in the return of Christ (Act 1:11; Rev. 1:7; Mt 16:27) and the final judgment of all men. (Acts 17:31; Matt. 11:36; Heb. 9:27; Rm 14:10, 12; 1Cr 4:5; 2Tim 4:1):
• The return of Christ will be sudden (Matt. 24:44; James 5:8; 2Peter 3:10; Lk 12:40; Rev 3:11) and in personal and visible (Acts 1:11; 1 John 3:2).
• The dead will be raised (1 Thes 4:16); and Christ will judge all men according to their works (Rom. 2:5-8; Rev. 20:12-13; Mat. 12:36; Mt 25:31-46; Mt 16:27; 2Cr 5:10) .
• The eternal blessing for believers (Rm 8:1; Jn 5:24; Jn 14:1-3; 1 Thes 4: 17; 1Jn 2:28); eternal punishment for unbelievers (jn 3:36; Heb 10:26,27; Mt 18:8,9; Mk 8:38; 2Thes 1:8)
• There will be a new (order of) heaven and earth (Rom. 8:21; 2 Pt 3:13; Rev 21:1).
