There is more to the afterlife than just Heaven & Hell... Have you noticed? The world is getting worse. You don't need to read the latest statistics on violence, sex trafficking, drug use, suicide, corruption, poverty, & greed to know the world is NOT getting better? Your Bible talks of a mysterious time called the tribulation when the world will get worse. re we in that tribulation? Is there any hope for us if we face this tribulation trouble? Pastor Chris Fluitt shares knowledge about the worsening tribulation and a Jesus who arrives to make everything better.

What happens after?

There is an afterlife. Do we understand the afterlife?

Often you have heard the preacher say “If you died today, do you know where you would spend eternity?” That question resulted in a lot of people making a decision for the Lord, but do we really understand where we will spend eternity… Do we understand what that eternity will be like? Do we understand what will happen in the afterlife?

I believe that Christians today know less about the afterlife than in ages past. This is because the Church does not preach enough about this subject. The Church preaches more about how to have a good life here and now, instead of laying up treasure in heaven.

Jesus taught us to focus more on heavenly eternal treasures rather than earthly treasures.

Matthew 6:19-21 (NIV) “Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moths and vermin destroy, and where thieves break in and steal.  But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moths and vermin do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal.  For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. 

God cares about your life on earth, but He has a better life for you after. Set your mind on the things of heaven

The Afterlife is a lot more than just Heaven & Hell

We are building an afterlife timeline and there is a lot more than just heaven & hell ahead of us in the afterlife.

Last week we told you about the Rapture.

The Rapture (Catching Away)

The rapture is a Biblical teaching where believers will rise from this earth to meet Jesus in the air. Many Christians disagree on when the rapture will take place, but few Biblical Christians disagree that there will be a rapture.

When you are taken in the rapture you will step into the afterlife. You will be changed (1 Corinthians 15:52) & given a new glorified body (1 Cor 15:38-44).

Jesus is coming back for a prepared bride and we must make ourselves ready for His return.

When is the rapture?

Scripture says no man knows the day or the hour. We talked about this last week.

Scripture is clear that the rapture will center around a period of time called the Tribulation.

The Tribulation

The Tribulation is a period of time foretold in Bible Prophecy. In the Books of Daniel and Revelation it speaks of two 3 ½ year periods that will come at the end time.  The 1st 3 ½ years is the tribulation and the 2nd 3 ½ years is the great tribulation. Together they make 7 years of tribulation.

The Tribulation is a 7 year period of time. It is 7 years exactly… to the day. 

Pre, Mid, Post Tribulation Rapture

When people ask when the rapture will take place. They are really asking “where in relation to the tribulation is the rapture?”

There are 3 major views. Pre-Tribulation rapture, where Jesus takes us before the tribulation. Mid-tribulation where it occurs somewhere within the 7 years. And then post-tribulation where the rapture happens after the 7 year tribulation. 

Timeline 1

The next thing to occur could be a pre-tribulation rapture, but perhaps the next thing to occur would be the start of the 7 year tribulation with a mid or post tribulation rapture.
