An Overview of the End Times
by Pastor Jim Feeney, Ph.D.

Sermon Summary: These very brief notes summarize a number of my sermons over the years. They give a concise overview of the end times as I understand them and are intended for the serious bible student. My prayer is that this outline will provide some "seeds and leads" for more intense bible study of the end times on your own.

1. Genesis 1,2 — Six days of creation, a seventh day of rest.

2. 2 Peter 3:8; Psalm 90:4 — A “day” = 1,000 years in God’s sight.

3. Hosea 6:2 — Church Age = 2,000 years

4. 2 Corinthians 11:2 — Church is “espoused” to Jesus as His Bride (see Matthew 25:1-10).

5. Revelation 12:1,6,14-17 — Church-Bride taken out to a place of safety for the last 3-1/2 years.

Vs. 17 — Not all believers are taken out to safety.

6. Revelation 13:1,4-8,15 — Antichrist reigns during the same 3-1/2 years mentioned in #5 above. The remnant of believers (not taken out) is slain, after which comes #7 below.

7. 1 Thessalonians 4:15-17 — Jesus’ Second Coming: dead saints resurrected; living saints caught up with them to meet Jesus as He comes.

8. Revelation 20:1-6 — Resurrected saints —> Millennium (1,000 years).

9. Revelation 20:11-15 — The lost resurrected after Millennium. White Throne Judgment.

10. Revelation 22:5 — Saints live and reign with God eternally.
