As we continue in Revelation chapters 17 through 19, John is shown the fall of Babylon, the triumph of heaven, and the best part... the victorious return of Jesus Christ! Here we see God's perfect justice and His faithfulness to fulfill His promises. Hallelujah! How I long for that day, as I know you all do as well.I still find myself struggling with the fear of the end of time and the fear of death itself. But I remind myself that as a Christian, we do not have to be afraid. Even so, God understands that we are human. He is ready to give us His perfect peace that passes all human understanding. I pray for this.We are reading Revelation 17 through 19.

Sunday Service (8/8/26) // *Revelation 19:11-16* (ESV) // *The Rider on a White Horse* // 11 Then I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse! The one sitting on it is called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he judges and makes war. 12 His eyes are like a flame of fire, and on his head are many diadems, and he has a name written that no one knows but himself. 13 He is clothed in a robe dipped in[a] blood, and the name by which he is called is The Word of God. 14 And the armies of heaven, arrayed in fine linen, white and pure, were following him on white horses. 15 From his mouth comes a sharp sword with which to strike down the nations, and he will rule[b] them with a rod of iron. He will tread the winepress of the fury of the wrath of God the Almighty. 16 On his robe and on his thigh he has a name written, King of kings and Lord of lords.*Footnotes*a.

The sermon explores the biblical command for believers to exercise long-suffering patience while awaiting the Lord's return, using the metaphor of a farmer waiting for harvest. It contrasts the corrupt, immediate greed of the rich with the faithful, future-oriented hope of the righteous who trust in God's ultimate justice. By referencing the endurance of prophets like Jeremiah and Daniel, as well as Job, the text encourages Christians to remain steadfast and active in opposing evil without resorting to vengeance. The message emphasizes that while believers must sound the alarm against injustice, they must ultimately leave judgment to God, maintaining a Christ-honoring witness amidst frustration. This perspective offers comfort by affirming that God sees all wrongs and will restore righteousness in His perfect timing. What does James 5:7-11 mean? What does it mean to "be patient until the coming of the Lord"? What is biblical patience? How should Christians respond to injustice? Why does God allow evil people to prosper? What does "the Judge standeth before the door" mean? Is the return of Jesus imminent? What does it mean to establish your heart? What is the difference between patience and passivity? What does the farmer represent in James 5? What is the "precious fruit of the earth" in James 5? Why does James compare Christians to a farmer? What are the early and latter rains in the Bible? Does James teach the imminent return of Christ? Should Christians fight against evil? Should Christians expose evil? Does the Bible tell Christians to seek justice? How can Christians be patient while waiting for Christ? What does "grudge not one against another" mean?

Paul identified the church in Thessalonica as a model church. The testimony of their faithfulness was spreading throughout the region and encouraged other suffering churches. However, even this model church was not immune from the devastating pain of loss. Even though they knew that the resurrection was true, in the moment of grief, some members of the church were shaken. Paul wrote these words to remind those who had lost loved ones that they could find comfort in the certainty of their hope. Hope in Christ's return is the source of Christian comfort. The death of loved ones is a tragically common part of life. Death is inevitable in a fallen world. Whether because of a sudden disaster like a car crash, the gradual encroachment of cancer, or slow decay of age, death comes to us all. When death invades your life, where will you find comfort in the midst of grief? The answer is found in 1 Thessalonians 4:13–18. Our passage presents two promises that fix our hope on the return of Christ so that we can be comforted in times of loss. 1 - The Promise of the Resurrection that Fixes Our Hope (13-16) a - Grounded in the Gospel (14) b - Realized by Christ's Return (15-16) 2 - The Promise of Reunion that Focuses Our Hope (17-18) a - Reunion with One Another b - Reunion with Christ

Subject: Return of ChristSpeaker or Performer: Pastor Grover ClevelandScripture Passage(s): Revelation 19:1-21Date of Delivery: August 9, 2026Return of ChristRevelation 19:1-21 NKJV19 After these things I heard a loud voice of a great multitude in heaven, saying, “Alleluia! Salvation and glory and honor and power belong to the Lord our God! 2 For true and righteous are His judgments, because He has judged the great harlot who corrupted the earth with her fornication; and He has avenged on her the blood of His servants shed by her.” 3 Again they said, “Alleluia! Her smoke rises up forever and ever!” 4 And the twenty-four elders and the four living creatures fell down and worshiped God who sat on the throne, saying, “Amen! Alleluia!” 5 Then a voice came from the throne, saying, “Praise our God, all you His servants and those who fear Him, both small and great!”6 And I heard, as it were, the voice of a great multitude, as the sound of many waters and as the sound of mighty thunderings, saying, “Alleluia! For the Lord God Omnipotent reigns! 7 Let us be glad and rejoice and give Him glory, for the marriage of the Lamb has come, and His wife has made herself ready.” 8 And to her it was granted to be arrayed in fine linen, clean and bright, for the fine linen is the righteous acts of the saints.9 Then he said to me, “Write: ‘Blessed are those who are called to the marriage supper of the Lamb!’ ” And he said to me, “These are the true sayings of God.” 10 And I fell at his feet to worship him. But he said to me, “See that you do not do that! I am your fellow servant, and of your brethren who have the testimony of Jesus. Worship God! For the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.”11 Now I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse. And He who sat on him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness He judges and makes war. 12 His eyes were like a flame of fire, and on His head were many crowns. He had a name written that no one knew except Himself. 13 He was clothed with a robe dipped in blood, and His name is called The Word of God. 14 And the armies in heaven, clothed in fine linen, white and clean, followed Him on white horses. 15 Now out of His mouth goes a sharp sword, that with it He should strike the nations. And He Himself will rule them with a rod of iron. He Himself treads the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God. 16 And He has on His robe and on His thigh a name written:KING OF KINGS ANDLORD OF LORDS.17 Then I saw an angel standing in the sun; and he cried with a loud voice, saying to all the birds that fly in the midst of heaven, “Come and gather together for the supper of the great God, 18 that you may eat the flesh of kings, the flesh of captains, the flesh of mighty men, the flesh of horses and of those who sit on them, and the flesh of all people, free and slave, both small and great.”19 And I saw the beast, the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against Him who sat on the horse and against His army. 20 Then the beast was captured, and with him the false prophet who worked signs in his presence, by which he deceived those who received the mark of the beast and those who worshiped his image. These two were cast alive into the lake of fire burning with brimstone. 21 And the rest were killed with the sword which proceeded from the mouth of Him who sat on the horse. And all the birds were filled with their flesh.

What significance does the laying on of hands hold? We know the Holy Spirit is only received by faith, right? What are the crowns in the New Testament? Will all believers receive them? So you believe in the rapture, but not a secret rapture? (Yes, exactly!). So then, why does God send angels to separate the wheat from the chaff?

In 2 Thessalonians 2, the apostle Paul warned that a great “falling away” would occur before the Day of the Lord. What does this prophecy mean, and how should Christians understand it today?In this episode of Apostolic Life in the 21st Century, Dr. David K. Bernard examines the biblical meaning of the falling away, its place in end-time prophecy, and its relationship to the return of Jesus Christ. He also offers practical encouragement for believers who want to remain faithful in an increasingly ungodly world.Visit PentecostalPublishing.com to shop Dr. Bernard's full catalog of published works.

Session 1 of 14: The Olivet Discourse - The Importance of the Return of Christ (Robert Van Kampen) The post The Olivet Discourse – The Importance of the Return of Christ (Robert Van Kampen) appeared first on Bible Prophecy Answers with Alan Kurschner.

To live as though Jesus is not returning is to live in the dark about where humanity is heading. No matter how intelligent or informed someone is about worldly things, to lack this knowledge is to be asleep to reality. As Christians, we must not give into moments of sleepiness, but sould be awake, aleter, and spiritually sober minded. We need to put on God's armor to be ready for battle, not sleeping on the battlefield. You can watch this message here.

2 Peter 3:8-10

Christ could return at any moment. So how should that truth shape the way you live today?In this exposition of 2 Peter 3:14-15, Pastor Jim Osman shows that Peter calls believers to two things as they wait for the Lord's coming: live blamelessly and think evangelistically.Osman traces Peter's repeated call to diligence, first raised in chapter 1 and now returning in these closing verses. Holiness does not happen by accident. It requires effort, pursued through the Spirit's power, not apart from it. When Christ returns, everything will be exposed. The fakes and frauds will be revealed, but so will the quiet, faithful saints whose lives have been marked by genuine spotlessness and blamelessness rather than the stains and blemishes that marked the false teachers in chapter 2.Osman then turns to verse 15, where Peter tells us to regard the Lord's patience as salvation. That patience is not slowness or delay. It is an open door, a call to repentance for the unbeliever and an opportunity for the Christian to proclaim the Gospel while there is still time.This sermon is a sober and hope filled reminder that waiting for Christ's return is never passive. It is a call to holy living and faithful witness, lived out with confidence in the God who keeps every promise. ★ Support this podcast ★

Micah Walters, member of Del Ray Baptist Church.Eschatology (Week 2 of 6): The Return of ChristTaught March 1, 2026

One of the most commonly misunderstood questions in modern Christianity is: "Can I lose my salvation?" Pastor David Blevins makes a critical distinction between losing salvation unintentionally and intentionally rejecting salvation, a reality the Bible identifies as apostasy. Drawing from the Old Testament history of Israel, the warnings of Jesus, the writings of Paul, and the strong language of Hebrews 6, the message shows that apostasy is not God revoking someone's salvation, but rather people turning away from covenant loyalty to Him.   Salvation is framed not as mere religious affiliation or intellectual belief, but as loyalty to the King and His Kingdom. David warns of the growing pressures of fear, deception, and false teaching in the last days. The ultimate protection against apostasy is not emotional assurance, but a faith that continues to grow into greater hope; a hope that remains captivated by salvation and actively pursues the Savior.

In a world marked by darkness, suffering, and confusion, the return of Christ has always been a source of faith, hope, and endurance for God's people. Faith is not vague optimism but is confident trust in the sovereign, reigning, and returning King, Jesus Christ.   Drawing from the testimony of persecuted believers, the witness of the early church, and the Scriptures, the message reminds us that the return of Christ is not a distant doctrine or speculative topic, but a living promise meant to shape how we endure suffering, resist fear, and remain faithful in the present age. Faith is defined not by its size, but by the greatness of its object: faith in the one true God who holds His people securely and Him who will never fail.   Through powerful biblical scenes from Isaiah 6, Job 38, and Revelation 5, we are given a high and holy view of God: the One who reigns unmoved, commands creation, and alone is worthy to bring justice, redemption, and the fulfillment of all things. Jesus is revealed as both the Lion of Judah and the Lamb who was slain—the only One worthy to open the scroll and usher in God's final victory over sin, suffering, and evil. As believers fix their hope on His coming, they are invited to live lives worthy of the gospel—marked by endurance, obedience, love, and unwavering trust - until the day that our King returns in glory.

In this message on salvation, Pastor David Blevins challenges the church to move beyond shallow and incomplete views of salvation to rediscover the depth, assurance, and power found in God's redemptive work. Salvation is not merely about going to heaven, but about restored relationship, allegiance to Christ, and confident assurance rooted in who Jesus is.   Pastor David unpacks three things: justification, sanctification, and glorification. Through personal testimony, Scripture, and exhortation, he calls believers to examine the security of their salvation, renew their faith in who Jesus is, and recover the longing of the early church for His return. As salvation is understood more deeply, hope overflows. This hope strengthens us as the church to endure, obey, and remain faithful as we pray, "Come, Lord Jesus."

Pastor Waxer, in his message on Salvation at the Return of Christ Conference, focuses on the Biblical hope and assurance believers have regarding the return of Jesus Christ. Romans 5 and Titus 2 presents hope not as wishful thinking, but as confident assurance. This confident assurance is gained by immersing ourselves in God's revealed truth concerning our eternal future. When believers understand God's plan, they live with peace, confidence, and stability.   Waxer addresses the reality of Christ's return and final judgment, urging listeners to focus less on signs and more on readiness. We are invited to live "rapture-minded," looking for the blessed hope of Christ's appearing. Such expectancy shapes daily obedience, moral clarity, and godly living. As believers fix their eyes on the coming King, their lives become ordered, fruitful, righteous, and faithful—blessed not only in the day to come, but in the present as well.

In the fourth session of our Return of Christ Conference, Pastor Maiola calls us to develop a ready faith - a faith that actively prepares for the return of Jesus Christ rather than passively waiting or becoming distracted by speculation. He reminds believers that the purpose of end-times teaching is not curiosity about signs, but transformation of life. Paul's instruction to the church in Thessalonica makes clear that readiness for Christ's return is expressed through obedience, sanctification, and faithful living.   Readiness is not found in staring into the sky, abandoning responsibilities, or disengaging from the world, but in faithfully obeying Christ in everyday life. Maiola emphasizes that true faith produces real fruit. Salvation is not merely intellectual belief or simply praying the sinner's prayer, but a life-altering trust in Jesus that leads to repentance, growth, and obedience. Sanctification is God's will for every believer - a joyful process of becoming more like Christ as we prepare to meet Him.   As we wait for the Lord's return, we are encouraged to live as a bride eagerly preparing for her Bridegroom—marked by holiness, love, faithfulness, and mission. As believers fix their hope on Christ's return, they are called to live awake, obedient, and ready, echoing the prayer of the early church: "Come, Lord Jesus."

In the last Return of Christ Conference session, the focus turns to a hope that never disappoints. A hope anchored not in circumstances or emotion but in the unchanging promises of God. Drawing from Proverbs 13, Psalm 130, and the New Testament, Pastor Waxer reminds believers that while people and situations often let us down, God never will.   Through Scripture, Biblical hope is not denial of suffering, but confident trust rooted in the faithfulness of God. Because salvation has been secured through the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, believers possess a living hope - an imperishable inheritance given to us by God Himself. This hope enables us to wait, endure, and persevere, even when our present circumstances feel heavy or uncertain.   Believers are called to live with expectancy, readiness, and watchfulness—not in fear or frantic anticipation, but in faithful obedience, moral clarity, and surrendered devotion. Readiness is not perfection, but presence—a heart aligned with God, hands faithfully stewarding what He has entrusted, and eyes lifted toward the coming King. This is a hope that will not let us down, as we echo the final prayer of Scripture: "Come, Lord Jesus."
