Jackson Bible Church Doctrinal Statement
9. Last Things
9. Last Things
We believe in the personal, pre-tribulational, pre-millennial, and imminent return of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. The catching away of the church out of the world will be followed by a seven year tribulation period when God pours out His righteous judgements on an unbelieving world and these judgements will conclude with Christ's return in glory to the earth to begin His millennial reign. We believe in the literal fulfillment of the prophecies and promises concerning Israel's future conversion and restoration. We believe the saved will consciously and eternally rejoice in the glories of God while the unsaved will suffer eternal agonies in the lake of fire.
