The King Is Coming with Jeff Kinley Revelations Guide to Knowing God, Episode 4: The Grace of God and the Tribulation Revival Jeff Kinley continues his series Revelation's Guide to Knowing God by turning to the grace of God, tracing how a vast multitude of tribulation believers, the 144,000 Jewish evangelists, two witnesses, and three flying angels help bring about a last-days revival after the rapture. A New Book and the Fourth Attribute of God Jeff Kinley opens The King Is Coming by teasing the question at the center of this episode, whether Scripture promises a last-days revival before the end, and promises an answer drawn from the Bible itself. He then turns to his newest book, God's Grand Finale: Wrath, Grace, and Glory in Earth's Final Days, explaining that it walks through the entire Book of Revelation not simply to forecast future events but to draw out thirteen attributes of God that help believers know Him more intimately. Returning from the break, Kinley places the day's teaching inside his larger series, Revelation's Guide to Knowing God, reminding listeners that earlier broadcasts have already covered the glory, the sovereignty, and the wrath of God as they appear in Revelation. Today, he says, the subject shifts to something warmer, the grace and graciousness of Jesus Christ, and he previews the question many listeners keep asking him about whether a final, great revival is coming. No Revival Promised Before the Rapture Kinley turns to Second Thessalonians chapter 2 verse 3, where Paul writes that before the day of the Lord a great falling away, or apostasy, must come first. He tells listeners that Scripture prophesies this departure from the faith but nowhere promises a final revival during the church age, before the Tribulation begins. That does not mean, he adds, that God cannot send pockets of revival breaking out around the world even now, only that no chapter and verse can be pointed to as proof of one. Kinley says he is nevertheless watching many believers awaken to Bible prophecy, calling it the front porch that leads people back into serious study of their Bibles, and he reads from listener emails describing how prophecy pulled them out of a lethargic, mediocre faith. He then asks the harder question: if no revival is promised this side of the rapture, does Revelation describe one happening on the other side, during the Tribulation itself. A Great Multitude Before the Throne Turning to Revelation chapter 7, Kinley reads the passage that follows the sealing of the 144,000, where John describes a great multitude that no one can count, drawn from every tribe, nation, people, and tongue, standing before the throne in white robes with palm branches, crying out that salvation belongs to God and the Lamb. He explains that an elder identifies this multitude as those who have come out of the great Tribulation and washed their robes in the blood of the Lamb, a detail Kinley stresses means these are new believers converted during the Tribulation itself, not leftover Christians from the church age. He estimates the majority come to faith in the first three and a half years, before the Antichrist's midpoint mark of the beast forces every remaining person into an irreversible choice for or against Christ. Kinley notes John's own word for the number, a Greek term tied to arithmetic, meaning that John himself cannot calculate how enormous this multitude truly is. How the Holy Spirit Still Draws the Lost Kinley turns from who these believers are to how they are saved, breaking the question into the manner, the method, and the means. On the manner, he asks whether the Holy Spirit is absent from earth once the church is raptured, and answers no, because the Spirit is omnipresent and cannot be confined to any one place. Citing John chapter 16, he explains that the Holy Spirit continues His convicting ministry during the Tribulation exactly as He does now, persuading people of their sin and their need for a Savior. He adds, citing John chapter 6, that God the Father is the one who draws people to Himself, while Jesus Christ alone saves through His shed blood, describing salvation as a work shared between all three persons of the Trinity. Kinley calls this an amazing thought, that the very process that brought him and his listeners to faith continues operating for those left behind after the rapture, even without the church physically present on earth. Witnesses, Evangelists, and Left-Behind Bibles Moving to method, Kinley lists several ways he believes people will come to Christ after the rapture, some drawn directly from Scripture and others he offers as reasoned speculation. Many, he suggests, will remember previous exposure to the gospel and immediately fall to their knees once they realize what has happened. Left-behind Bibles, Christian books, and recorded programs will give others tools to understand the disappearance, and newly saved believers will rush to tell friends and family before the Antichrist and his judgments arrive. Kinley then turns to what the Bible explicitly names, starting with the 144,000 sealed Jewish evangelists of Revelation chapters 7 and 14, twelve thousand from each tribe, described as chaste, blameless, and fiercely loyal to the Lamb. He also introduces the two witnesses of Revelation chapter 11, who prophesy for 1,260 days in sackcloth, calling fire from their mouths and shutting up the sky, and whom Kinley believes, based on their miracles, are most likely Moses and Elijah. Three Angels and a Limited-Time Grace Kinley closes his list of methods with three angels from Revelation chapter 14, naming them himself: a gospel angel flying in mid-heaven and preaching an eternal gospel to every nation, a Babylon angel announcing that the Antichrist's capital city has fallen, and a final angel warning that anyone who takes the mark of the beast will share the beast's fate in the lake of fire. He compares the Babylon angel's message to hearing that Washington has been destroyed, proof that the Antichrist's kingdom is collapsing while God's kingdom endures. Turning finally to the means of salvation, Kinley insists it never changes, citing Romans 5:8 and John 14:6 to affirm that the shed blood of Jesus Christ remains the only way to God in the Tribulation exactly as it is now. He marvels at God's patience toward sinners, warns from Second Corinthians 6 that salvation is a limited-time offer, and urges anyone listening to believe on Jesus Christ immediately before the broadcast closes with its usual appeal for donations to World Prophetic Ministries.

When life feels uncertain, God's love and His truth give us a firm foundation. In “Strength to Stand,” Week 9 of The King Is Coming, we walk through 2 Thessalonians 2:13–17 and discover how God strengthens His people through hardship. Remember who God says you are, retain what He has said, and rely on what He will do. Be encouraged to hold onto Jesus, trust the Holy Spirit's work in your life, and remain faithful as you look forward to Christ's return. You are deeply loved by God. Follow the Central Valley Church podcast for weekly messages, and worship with us in Madera, California, Sundays at 9am & 11am.

4 things about His return:1. It will be visible, glorious, and not secret2. The time is unknown3. It will bring judgement and separation4. Jesus will reign openly with His gathered and resurrected people

Something in you already senses it. The tools we built to connect us are fracturing families and rewriting truth. The weapons we built to keep the peace have us one decision from catastrophe. Revelation 6 opens the door on what happens when God finally intervenes, and four horsemen ride out: deception, war, famine, and death. The chapter ends with one question every person eventually answers for themselves. Who can stand? Pastor Tim walks through Revelation 6 and 7, Daniel's seventieth week in Daniel 9, and the Day of the Lord in Joel 2. But the surprise isn't the judgment. It's the mercy folded inside it. The multitude standing in white robes at the end aren't the people who escaped the suffering. They're the ones who walked through it and came out worshiping. If your own world is shaking, that detail matters. Don't let the weight of what you're walking through change the worth of Who you're worshiping.

Jesus proclaimed that the kingdom of heaven was at hand, and He indeed established His rule by overcoming the powers of Satan, even death.  From that time until today, people are invited into the kingdom to serve Jesus the King and receive the benefits of His rule.  He is coming back to take His loyal subjects with Him into "His heavenly kingdom."  Are you ready?Scriptures:   Matthew 3:1-3;  John 18:33-38;  2 Thessalonians 2:10;  Colossians 1:13-14;  2 Timothy 4:1-2, 18;  Revelation 1:4-8;  1 Thessalonians 2:10-12

How do believers remain faithful to truth in a world increasingly susceptible to deception? In this message from our The King Is Coming series, we walk through 2 Thessalonians 2:1-12 and Paul's warning about deception, false signs, the man of lawlessness, and the importance of loving the truth. Knowing the truth isn't enough. We must love it, live it, and remain grounded in God's Word even when His truth confronts what we want. Know the Truth. Love the Truth. Test for Truth. Refuse the Lie. The greatest protection against deception is becoming deeply rooted in and deeply in love with the truth. Listen, share, and keep the worship going, church!

When what you see on earth looks like chaos, Revelation 4 and 5 hand you a different camera angle. John is called through an open door in heaven and shown a throne, and everything around it tells the whole story of God at once: a rainbow of covenant encircling it, jasper and carnelian, the same stones that bordered the priest's breastpiece so the people were carried close to his heart, and twenty-four elders laying the crowns God gave them back down at his feet. Then heaven runs into a problem. There is a sealed scroll, and no one in heaven or on earth is found worthy to open it, and John weeps. Until an elder tells him the Lion of the tribe of Judah has triumphed, and John turns to look and sees a Lamb, standing, looking as if it had been slain (Revelation 5:5-7). This message walks through four reasons Jesus alone is worthy, because he is King over all things, holy in his nature, Creator of everything that exists, and the victorious Lamb of salvation, and what changes in an ordinary week when you actually believe it. If you are wrestling with whether God is still in control of what you are watching right now, this is worth your time.

Hardships, trials, and suffering are a part of life, but how we respond to them reveals what we truly believe about God. In this message, we explore Paul's encouragement to the Thessalonian church as they endured persecution and affliction. Their testimony was not that life became easier, but that their faith grew abundantly and their love increased through every trial. Be encouraged that God is using every test to refine your faith, strengthen your character, and prepare you for the day when Christ returns and makes all things right. Your faith matters most when it is tested.

Lukewarm is a strange word to fear until you read what Jesus says about it. In Revelation 3 he writes to the last three of the seven churches, and the picture he paints is uncomfortably familiar. Sardis had a reputation for being alive but was dead, a church with everything in the show window and nothing in stock. Laodicea was wealthy, self-sufficient, and certain it needed nothing, while Jesus called it wretched, pitiful, poor, blind, and naked (Revelation 3:17). And Philadelphia, the smallest and weakest of the three, is the one he commends most, because little strength in the hands of God still moves the world. The thread running through all three is one word: steadfastness, the daily decision to keep the door to Jesus open rather than opening it in crisis and closing it again in comfort. This message works through the five commands Jesus gives in Revelation 3:2-3, wake up, strengthen what remains, remember, hold fast, repent, along with the promise in Revelation 3:10 about being kept from the hour of trial, and the invitation in Revelation 3:20 where Jesus stands at a door with the handle on the inside. If your faith feels like it has been drifting, or you look fine on the outside and feel empty on the inside, start here.

In this message, we explore 1 Thessalonians 4:13–18 and 5:1–28 and discover what it means to live with an eternal perspective. We are encouraged to live with hope, knowing that those who are in Christ have the promise of resurrection. We are called to live with expectation, remaining ready and spiritually awake for the coming of the Lord. And we are reminded to live in rhythm with one another, serving, encouraging, respecting, and strengthening each other as the body of Christ. This life is temporary, but eternity is forever. So the question is not simply how we live today, but whether our lives are aligned with God's purposes and His eternal plan. Live with hope. Live with expectation. Live in rhythm with one another.

What happens when the King comes? He restores. In this message from our series The King Is Coming, Pastor Stephen Mizell looks at the hope we have in Jesus and the promise that God is not abandoning His creation. The story doesn't end with chaos, death, or destruction—it moves toward Jesus, resurrection, restoration, and God dwelling with His people forever. Through Revelation 21 and Romans 8, we are reminded that sin does not get the final word. Death will not have the final say. God is making everything new. Even in the middle of a broken world, we can groan with hope because the Holy Spirit gives us a foretaste of the glory that is still to come. Every healing, restored relationship, transformed life, and person who comes to Jesus gives us a glimpse of that coming restoration. If you've ever wondered whether something in your life is too broken for God to restore, this message is a reminder: God is still in the restoring business.

John 12:9-19

After a summer walking through the Minor Prophets, Pastor Landon closes the series in the final book of the Old Testament: Malachi. Malachi speaks into a spiritually cold and compromised generation, yet God begins with a powerful reminder: “I have loved you.” Even when His people wander, grow cynical, or give Him their leftovers, God remains faithful, calls them to return, and points them toward the One who is coming. Throughout the message, Pastor Landon highlights the central themes of Malachi: God desires our hearts, not empty religious activity; He calls His people to honor Him with their best; He refines and transforms those He saves; and He remains faithful even when we are not. Malachi also brings the entire story of the Minor Prophets to a powerful conclusion. A messenger would prepare the way, the Lord Himself would come, and the Sun of Righteousness would arise with healing in His wings. Then came roughly 400 years of silence. But God had not forgotten His promise. When the fullness of time had come, Jesus Christ entered the story—the promised Savior, the spotless Lamb, the risen King, and the One who is coming again. After looking back through Hosea, Joel, Amos, Obadiah, Jonah, Micah, Nahum, Habakkuk, Zephaniah, Haggai, Zechariah, and Malachi, one truth stands above everything else: It's all about Jesus. The King came. The King died. The King rose. And the King is coming again. So don't grow weary. Don't grow cold. Don't give God your leftovers. Don't mistake His silence for His absence. Return to Him, worship Him, proclaim the good news, and keep looking up.

Somewhere along the way, faith can quietly turn into a routine. You still show up, still serve, still do the right things, but the love that started it all has gone cold, and you are not sure when that happened. That is exactly what Jesus addresses in the first four of his seven letters in Revelation 2, written to the churches in Ephesus, Smyrna, Pergamum, and Thyatira. To Ephesus he says something startling: you have forsaken the love you had at first (Revelation 2:4). Not lost it. Forsook it. To Smyrna, a church facing real poverty and violent persecution under Rome, he offers no correction at all, only the promise of the crown of life (Revelation 2:10, James 1:12). To Pergamum, where compromise had crept inside the walls, he comes with the double-edged sword of his own Word (Revelation 2:12, Hebrews 4:12). This message walks through what perseverance actually means, not gritting your teeth through suffering, but remaining under it long enough for it to produce dependence, strength, and faith (2 Corinthians 12:9). If your faith feels more like duty than love right now, or you are carrying pressure you never asked for, this one is for you.

John 12: 12-19  Jesus is the Christ King who has come to bring peace. He brings that peace through his rejection, suffering, and death, making peace between sinful humanity and God.  Pastor Daniel Ackerman

The King Is Coming | Week 4: Called to Holiness What does it mean to live a holy life in today's world? In this message from 1 Thessalonians 4:1-12, we explore God's will for His people: sanctification. Paul challenges believers to pursue holiness, reject sexual immorality, grow in love for one another, and live in a way that honors Christ as we anticipate His return. This message serves as both a loving correction and an encouragement that through the power of the Holy Spirit, we can live lives that reflect Jesus and grow in spiritual maturity.

What does the return of Jesus mean for us today? In this message from The King Is Coming, Pastor Stephen Mizell teaches that the second coming of Christ isn't something we should approach with fear, anxiety, or endless speculation. It is the ultimate anchor of our Christian hope. We may not know when Jesus is coming back, but we know who is coming back. Jesus is coming, the dead in Christ will be raised, God's people will be gathered to Him, and we will be with the Lord forever. Through Acts 1 and 1 Thessalonians 4, Pastor Stephen challenges us to stop focusing on the things God hasn't told us and start faithfully living out the mission He has given us. The question isn't simply, "When is Jesus coming?" The better question is: "If Jesus came today, what would He find me doing?" This message is a reminder that the return of Christ should produce hope, courage, and urgency. There are people who need Jesus, prodigals who need to come home, hurting people who need hope, and communities that need the Church to be the Church. And for those who have experienced loss, there is a promise: we grieve, but we grieve with hope. Jesus is coming back. And that changes everything.

The book of Zechariah points us toward one incredible truth: the King is coming. Pastor Landon walks through Zechariah's prophetic message—from Israel's restoration and the call to “return to Me,” to remarkably specific prophecies about Jesus Christ. Zechariah foretells the King riding into Jerusalem on a donkey, thirty pieces of silver, the pierced Messiah, the struck Shepherd, and ultimately the return of Jesus to the Mount of Olives. The same God who perfectly fulfilled His promises concerning Christ's first coming will be faithful to every promise concerning His return. Prophecy isn't given simply to fill our heads with knowledge. It should change the way we live. If Jesus is coming, we should live ready, hold this world loosely, turn from sin, share the Gospel, and faithfully finish the work He has given us. Return to the King, because the King is returning. Lift up your heads. Hold the line. Preach the Gospel. Finish well. Maranatha — come quickly, Lord Jesus!

It's been two thousand years since Jesus promised to return, and if you've ever wondered whether that promise is still true, you're not alone. In this message from the opening week of our new series through the book of Revelation, we look at one verse, Revelation 1:7, that changes how you see the future: "Look, he is coming with the clouds, and every eye will see him." We trace that promise through Jesus' own words in Matthew 24:30, his tender promise to his disciples in John 14:3, and the angels' guarantee in Acts 1:11, to show that the return of Jesus was never meant as a scare tactic. It's the hope apocalyptic writing was always meant to give people who feel forgotten. Whether you grew up hearing about the end times or you're encountering this for the first time, this message walks through what it actually means that Jesus is coming back, why the wait doesn't mean the promise is broken, and why every person on earth will one day see him, some in grief that turns to repentance, and some in grief that comes too late. This is Week One of The King Is Coming, a new series exploring the book of Revelation at illuminate church in Kissimmee, Florida. If you're searching for hope, answers about the second coming of Christ, or a place to belong, we'd love for you to join us this Sunday or watch anytime.

In “Perfected Under Pressure,” we continue through 1 Thessalonians with a message about remaining faithful when following Jesus becomes difficult. First Thessalonians 3 reminds us that hardship does not mean God has abandoned us. God can use trials to deepen our faith, increase our love, strengthen our obedience, and establish our hearts in holiness. How should we respond when life puts our faith under pressure? Expect suffering without being surprised by it. Endure it without allowing it to shake your faith. Let God use it to mature you and make you more like Jesus. Whatever you are facing, stand firm and keep running after Christ. Scripture: 1 Thessalonians 3:1–13

How should followers of Jesus measure success? Teaching from 1 Thessalonians 2, Pastor Alex explains why Kingdom success is not measured by comfort, recognition, or impressive results. It is measured by faithfulness to God and by helping others stand firm in Jesus. Through Paul's relationship with the Thessalonian believers, we discover that discipleship requires spiritual family, hardship can refine our faith, and people are the true reward. The world asks, “What did you build?” Jesus asks, “Who did you bring?” As you listen, consider two questions: What is your measure of success, and how has hardship affected your faith? Scripture: 1 Thessalonians 2:1-20 Series: The King Is Coming

In Week 1 of The King Is Coming, we begin our journey through 1 and 2 Thessalonians and explore how Christians should live while waiting for Jesus to return. Through 1 Thessalonians 1, we are reminded that we were never meant to follow Jesus alone. We are called to remain connected to the local church and live with faith that works, love that labors, and hope that endures. The gospel has the power to transform us from the inside out, and our lives should reflect that transformation everywhere we go. Listen and be encouraged to live each day with anticipation, purpose, and readiness because the King is coming.

Having received multiple visions of the judgment that will precede Christ's return (Rev. 6-9), John needed to have his attention refocused on the glory of Christ that had first been revealed to Him in Chapter 1 and then again in chapters 4-5. In Chapter 10, a messenger is sent to remind John of Christ's glory and commission Him to keep recording the events that surround the coming of His kingdom. Join us this Sunday as we see the glory of God on display as heaven comes to earth. In Revelation 10, the process of judgment is paused as God reminds the reader of just how glorious His glory truly is. This vision of God's glory is a truth that we must be reminded of so that we would live in light of it today. We must make way, for our king is on His way!

Matthew in his Gospel is more prolific than the other Gospel writers in quoting the Old Testament prophecies that Jesus fulfilled.  Today we have in his 21st chapter the account of the triumphant entry of Jesus into Jerusalem (v.4-11). Matthew writes, “this took place to fulfil what was spoken by the prophet, saying ‘Behold your king is coming to you, mounted on a donkey … and the crowds that went before him and that followed him were shouting, ‘Hosanna to the Son of David!  … Hosanna in the highest!'  And when he entered Jerusalem, the whole city was stirred up …”The prophet whom God caused to predict this was Zechariah (9 v.9) and we are prompted to think of his and those of other prophets who were caused to write of the incredible dramas at the time of his second coming. We also see the remarkable prophecies the disciples were later to make as recorded in the book of Acts (e,g, 3 v.20,21) and in their letters about his second coming; the scene will be truly awesome when true believers will be saying something like “Behold our king is coming in great glory.”  But, just as awesome, overwhelmingly so, will be his great power to bring vengeance on those who deny him, being totally blind to there being a Creator with a plan and purpose for his creation.When we come to Matthew 24 we will see how Jesus himself predicted his return, a time when conditions on earth will be “as were the days of Noah, so will be the coming of the Son of Man.  For as in those days before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day Noah entered the ark, and they were unaware until …  so will be the coming of the Son of Man.” [v.37-39]There is nothing wrong with “eating and drinking” – it is essential – but Jesus is summing up human pleasures in life at that time, their main aim in living, with no thought of God, being the same as in the days of Noah.  Let us make sure we are not “unaware” but are ready to respond when we hear the words, “Behold your king is coming to you …”

Daniel 7 teaches that history is moving toward the return of Jesus Christ, when man's broken kingdoms will give way to His righteous reign.

Can we actually know Jesus is coming back or is this just a matter of blind faith? In this conversation, bestselling author and pastor John Bevere joins me to talk about his new book The King Is Coming. John makes for why Christians can have confidence that Jesus is returning, why he sees Israel's reestablishment in 1948 and the recapture of Jerusalem in 1967 as escatologically significant, his reading of the Hosea 6 timeline, his view on the rapture and the tribulation, and why he believes we're living in the generation that may see Christ's return. 00:00 Intro and the central question 01:51 Why John avoided this topic for four decades 06:33 How could a modern person believe Jesus returns in the clouds? 12:09 Have previous generations been wrong, and what makes this one different? 19:23 The biblical framework for John's view on the season of Christ's return 25:13 What the end-times sequence looks like — apostasy, revival, rapture, tribulation 28:30 The case for the pre-tribulation rapture 35:18 Why John waited 42 years to teach on this 41:42 Pastoral application — the wedding garment and being ready 49:48 Speculation on AI and end-times scenarios (conjecture) 55:21 Why the book has resonated with so many leaders CHECK OUT: Logos Bible 60 Day Free Trial (https://logos.com/mcdowell) READ: The King Is Coming: It's Time to Prepare for the Return of Christ by John Bevere (https://amzn.to/4vuexXk) *Get a MASTERS IN APOLOGETICS or SCIENCE AND RELIGION at BIOLA (https://bit.ly/3LdNqKf) *USE Discount Code [smdcertdisc] for 25% off the BIOLA APOLOGETICS CERTIFICATE program (https://bit.ly/3AzfPFM) *See our fully online UNDERGRAD DEGREE in Bible, Theology, and Apologetics: (https://bit.ly/448STKK) FOLLOW ME ON SOCIAL MEDIA: Twitter: https://x.com/Sean_McDowell TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@sean_mcdowell?lang=en Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/seanmcdowell/ Website: https://seanmcdowell.org Discover more Christian podcasts at lifeaudio.com and inquire about advertising opportunities at lifeaudio.com/contact-us.

Could we actually be the final generation? In this episode, Tony and John Bevere dive deep into the biblical, historical, and prophetic markers that point to a critical timeline between 2026 and 2075. From the ancient calculations of the Essenes and the Dead Sea Scrolls to the modern state of the global church, we explore the urgent reality of the season we are living in.  John Bevere is a respected minister, bestselling author, and co-founder of Messenger International, whose decades of teaching have deeply shaped the global Christian community. With more than 40 years in ministry and over 25 books to his name, John brings a weighty, Scripture-centered perspective to one of the most avoided and misunderstood topics in the church today: the return of Jesus Christ. Together, Tony and John discuss John's new book, "The King Is Coming", and why studying the second coming should not produce fear, laziness, or arguments, but urgency, holiness, and a deeper love for Jesus. John explains why believers must see Christ's return not merely as an end-times event, but as the long-awaited wedding of the ages between the Bridegroom and His bride.Please pray for Tony's wife, Lindsay, as she battles breast cancer.
