Lesson Introduction
The event is usually referred to as “the end of the world” (eschaton) in 2 Peter 3:10. This is the culmination of a series of events called “the day of the Lord”. The Bible has a lot to say about the end times. Nearly every book of the Bible contains prophesy regarding the end times. Taking all these prophesies and organizing them can be difficult. Following is a very brief summary of what the Bible declares will happen in the end times.

Lesson Outlines
Lesson Outline 1: From Rapture To The Great Tribulation

Rapture is the removal of all the born-again believers from the earth. 1 Thess. 4: 13-18; 1 Cor. 15:51-54.
After the rapture, the born-again believers will receive rewards for the good and faithful services which were rendered to Christ during their stay on earth.

True believers will not lose eternal life for not rendering services but they will lose their rewards. 1 Cor. 3:13-15.

The next event is the manifestation of the antichrist when he will sign an agreement with Israel for seven years, which is known as the “tribulation”. Dan. 9:27.
During the tribulation, there will be wars, famines, plagues and many natural disasters. Dan. 9:27.
Halfway of seven years, the antichrist will break the peace covenant with Isreal and make war against it with overspreading abomination which will make it desolate.

The Antichrist will set up an image of himself in the temple in Jerusalem and cause people to worship the image. Dan. 9:27; 2 Thess. 2:3-10.
The second half of the seven years shall be a period of “great tribulation” which has not been seen since the beginning of the world, it is also referred to as the time of” Jacob’s trouble”. Matt 24:21; Rev. 7:14; Jer. 30:7.

After the seven years of tribulation, the antichrist will launch the final attack on Jerusalem through “the battle of Armageddon”. – Rev. 16:16; 19:19-20.
The Lord Jesus Christ will return and destroy the antichrist and his armies and cast them ultimately into the lack of fire. Rev. 19: 11-21.

After the 1000 years of bondage of Satan, he will be loosed again and he will deceive many and he will be cast into the lake of fire forever. 20:7-9.
Thereafter, Christ will judge the unbelievers on the great white throne judgment. All those who appear before the great white throne judgment will go to the lake of fire. Rev. 20: 10-15.
Death and hell too will be cast into the lack of fire which is the second death. 20:14.
