6. Origin of the Doctrine 1833 – John Nelson Darby preaches it 1909 – Dr Cyrus Scofield puts it into his Bible 1969 – Hal Lindsey makes it a key part of his book 1995 – Tim Lehaye popularizes it

10. 1 Thess 4:13-14 – But I do not want you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning those who have fallen asleep, lest you sorrow as others who have no hope. 14 For if we believe that Jesus died & rose again, even so God will bring with Him those who sleep in Jesus.

11. 1 Cor 15:20-22 – But now Christ is risen from the dead, & has become the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep. 21 For since by man came death, by Man also came the resurrection of the dead. 22 For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ all shall be made alive.

13. 1 Cor 15:51-53 – Behold, I tell you a mystery: We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed -- 52 in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, & the dead will be raised incorruptible, & we shall be changed. 53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, & this mortal must put on immortality.

14. 1 Cor 15:23-24 – But each one in his own order: Christ the firstfruits, afterward those who are Christ's at His coming. 24 Then comes the end, when He delivers the kingdom to God the Father, when He puts an end to all rule & all authority & power.

15. John 5:28-29 – Do not marvel at this; for the hour is coming in which all who are in the graves will hear His voice 29 & come forth -- those who have done good, to the resurrection of life, & those who have done evil, to the resurrection of condemnation.

16. John 6:39-40 – This is the will of the Father who sent Me, that of all He has given Me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up at the last day. 40 And this is the will of Him who sent Me, that everyone who sees the Son & believes in Him may have everlasting life; & I will raise him up at the last day."

17. John 6:44, 54 – No one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me draws him; & I will raise him up at the last day….54 Whoever eats My flesh & drinks My blood has eternal life, & I will raise him up at the last day.

18. Acts 24:14-15 – I have hope in God, which they themselves also accept [the Jews], that there will be a resurrection of the dead, both of the just & the unjust.

20. Matt 13:30, 41-43 – Let both grow together until the harvest, & at the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, “First gather together the tares & bind them in bundles to burn them, but gather the wheat into my barn.”…41 The Son of Man will send out His angels, & they will gather out of His kingdom all things that offend, & those who practice lawlessness, 42 & will cast them into the furnace of fire. There will be wailing & gnashing of teeth. 43 Then the righteous will shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father

21. Matt 13:47-50 – Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a dragnet that was cast into the sea & gathered some of every kind, 48 which, when it was full, they drew to shore; & they sat down & gathered the good into vessels, but threw the bad away. 49 So it will be at the end of the age. The angels will come forth, separate the wicked from among the just, 50 & cast them into the furnace of fire. There will be wailing & gnashing of teeth.

22. John 12:48 – He who rejects Me, & does not receive My words, has that which judges him -- the word that I have spoken will judge him in the last day. Acts 17:31 – because He has appointed a day on which He will judge the world in righteousness by the Man whom He has ordained. He has given assurance of this to all by raising Him from the dead.

23. Heb 9:27-28 – And as it is appointed for men to die once, but after this the judgment, 28 SO [an adverb meaning "in this way"] Christ was offered once to bear the sins of many. To those who eagerly wait for Him He will appear a second time, apart from sin, for salvation. [the judgment will take place at His second coming]

24. 2 Thess 1:7-9 – And to give you who are troubled rest with us when the Lord Jesus is revealed from heaven with His mighty angels, 8 in flaming fire taking vengeance on those who do not know God, & on those who do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ. 9 These shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord & from the glory of His power,

29. 1 Thess 4:16 - For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, & with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first.

30. 1 Thess 5:1-5 – For you yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so comes as a thief in the night. 3 For when they say, "Peace & safety!" then sudden destruction comes upon them, as labor pains upon a pregnant woman. And they shall not escape. 4 But you, brethren, are not in darkness, so that this Day should overtake you as a thief. – We cannot know the precise time!

31. 2 Peter 3:10 – But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night, in which the heavens will pass away with a great noise, & the elements will melt with fervent heat; both the earth & the works that are in it will be burned up. – We cannot know the precise time!
