1. REMINDER FROM PREVIOUS LECTURE: Eschatological Resurrections associated w/Parousia, related to Intermediate State (leading to Eternal State), in 1 Cor 15 and Rev 20  Order of resurrections in 1 Cor 15:20-24  Jesus as Firstfruits @ His resurrection  Resurrection of Church @ Rapture  Resurrection of Tribulation Saints/OT Saints @ Second Coming  Resurrection of unbelievers @ end of Millennium/Great White Throne

2.  First Mention of Eternal State for Unbelievers (Lake of Fire):  Matt 25:41 (eternal fire prepared for Satan/his angels), confirmed by Jesus in Mark 9:43-49 (although ref. to “all going thru fire”—reminiscent of Judgment Seat of Christ)/Luke 16:23-24/Jude 6-7  Rev 19:20b (Beast/false prophet thrown into Lake of Fire)

3.  After Millennium of Rev 20:1-6, there remain Two Judgments related to Eternal State  Satan released for short time, gathers army from nations (Armageddon II) vs. holy people/Jerusalem, fire comes from heaven, destroys Army, Satan thrown into Lake of Fire (Rev 20:7-10)  Great White Throne for all dead unbelievers (Books opened/Lamb’s Book of Life), death, Hades, all not in Book of Life thrown into Lake of Fire (Rev 20:11-15)

4.  No biblical basis for Annihilationism (or Universalism)  Eternal State for Unbelievers = Lake of Fire of unquenchable Burning Sulfur

5.  Eternal State for Believers in Revelation 21-22  New Heaven/New Earth created by God  Chronos time stops/Kairos supersedes into eternity

6.  Eternal State for Believers in Revelation 21-22 ( continued)  Holy City/New Jerusalem prepared for Eternal State of Believers o GOD dwells with humanity (as originally in Eden)— Names written in Lamb’s Book of Life o Physical Dimensions given (three dimensional in fourth dimension) o Water & Tree of Life o No night o Eternal life of fellowship w/worship of God, Rest, Full Knowledge, Holiness, Joy, Service, Abundance, Glory
