THE KINGDOM IS NOT WITHOUT LAW. The law of the righteousness of Christ will prevail. If in this life we have been unable to attain to that law, how can we possible submit to it in the millennium? Rom. 9:31 The thinking of the flesh, the natural, the carnal man will not bring itself into obedience to the Law of the Spirit. There is no possible way that they would please the Lord by doing His WILL, then, if they do not now. Rom. 8:7 Sinners will not have any place nor part in the glorious reign of Christ on the earth for the thousand years.
THE SECOND COMING OF CHRIST. The church of today is grossly divided as to when Christ will return. There are differences of opinion within Church Organizations. We have Pre-tribulation, Mid-tribulation, Post-tribulation teachings and who knows what else. All that is in reference to the TIME of His Coming. Be assured He will come at the proper and preappointed time. THAT, HOWEVER is not the subject of our study, though it does relate to it. Surely, there would be agreement on the MANNER of His coming. That is our subject; THE MANNER, THE WAY, THE FASHION of His coming. The events that take place at that time are of utmost importance to the understanding of our study.
THE LORD JESUS SHALL BE REVEALED. So is the statement of Paul to he church at Thessalonica. That He will be seen at His coming is amply stated in the Word. It is the MANNER AND THE RESULTS that is important here. That is, He is coming in FLAMING FIRE. 2 Thess. 1:7-8 Fire is both; cleansing and destructive. It is the destructive element of fire that we will consider here. There are some awesome descriptions given in the Word concerning His appearance at the time of His coming. In the first place our God is a consuming fire. We may well anticipate a tremendous manifestation of a blazing fire when He comes. Heb. 12:29
