The Kingdom of God – What Will It Really Be Like?

Revelation BookWHAT IS THE KINGDOM OF GOD? WHAT WITH IT BE LIKE? WHERE WILL IT BE? IN HEAVEN OR ON EARTH? WHAT IS THE MILLENNIUM? IS IT THE SAME AS THE KINGDOM OF GOD? MILLIONS SCOFF; OTHERS ARE IN TOTAL IGNORANCE OF IT. ONLY BIBLE PROPHECY REVEALS THE PLAIN TRUTH ABOUT THE WONDERFUL WORLD OF TOMORROW!

BY LLOYD W. CARY

When Christ came the first time, He came as the meek and lowly Lamb of God whose mission was to die for the sins of the world. But when He comes the second time, He is coming as a mighty conqueror—as King of kings, and Lord of lords (Revelation 17:14; 19:16)—and He will wage war with the nations who oppose Him (Revelation 13:7; 17:14; 19:11). But before worldwide reconstruction can commence, Christ must deal with His enemies—and they are many. He must “destroy them which destroy the earth” (Revelation 11:18). The next holy day, the Day of Atonement, describes how our ultimate enemy, the great dragon, “was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him” (Revelation 12:9).

Who Was Cain’s Wife

Bible picIN TODAY’S WORLD, MANY HAVE BECOME OVERLY DEPENDENT ON SCIENTISTS AND SCIENTIFIC THEORIES FOR AN UNDERSTANDING OF THE ORIGINS OF MAN

BY BILL RUSS

 

Often, what the Bible says about man’s origin and early history is dismissed and discredited. A case in point is this question: Who was the wife of Cain? Rather than look to Scripture for answers, many of us would rather rely on Darwin’s On the Origin of Species or the theories of modern evolutionists for information on the ancestries of man. Of course, Darwin’s story of the “descent of man” does not coincide with the biblical account of the origin and early history of humankind; nor do the hypotheses and theories of today’s evolutionary biologists.
