In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He [Jesus Christ -Yeshua] was in the beginning with God.

THE SECOND COMING OF JESUS CHRIST - THE MESSIAH

The dispensation of grace, more commonly known as the age of grace, began at the first coming of Jesus Christ, the Messiah. It has continued since Christ’s crucifixion and resurrection in AD 32 and it will end at the rapture of the true believers who are living on earth. The true believers represent the church that will be caught up in the air to meet their Christ Savoir. God will not allow His people to be subject to the wrath He will pour out on the nations during the subsequent seven years of tribulation for their rejection of His Word.

All prophecy has been fulfilled for the impending rapture to occur. We are living in the last days. The world is turning away from the saving knowledge of Christ Jesus. Christianity is being attacked and the Word of God is being marginalized into empty words that deny the power of God. This apostasy is increasing every day at an alarming rate. At the appointed time, God will sound the trumpet and the rapture will occur in a twinkling of an eye (First Corinthians 15:52). With the influence of the true church removed, the Antichrist will be able to rise to world prominence. Because the world has rejected Christ and preferred a lie, God will give satanic powers to the Antichrist to deceive many. The Antichrist will rule with both charm and ruthlessness during the tribulation period as God pours out His wrath on the earth.

The seven-year tribulation period will culminate at the battle of Armageddon. This battle will surpass in severity any battle the world has ever experienced. God will gather all nations for a final confrontation in a valley known today as the Valley of Jezreel, which is referred to as the plain of Megiddo in Zechariah 12:11. Christ will return to earth and set His feet on the Mount of Olives, which faces Jerusalem on the east. He will protect Jerusalem from total destruction. Christ will judge the nations for attempting to destroy Israel (Joel 3:1-2; Zechariah 14:1-4, 12-15). Christ, the King of Kings, will usher in the Millennium age and rule the world from the throne of David in Jerusalem. Israel will be the most powerful nation with Christ the King on the throne (Zechariah 14:16-19).
