The Coming Fire

Summary

The sermon emphasizes the sovereignty of God and the enduring presence of the Church until the end of time, rejecting the popular rapture doctrine. It interprets Revelation 20 as describing a spiritual millennium beginning with Christ's resurrection, during which Satan is bound but will be loosed briefly to deceive the nations, leading to intensified persecution of the Church. The preacher warns believers to prepare spiritually for coming trials and the ultimate judgment by fire, urging faithfulness to Christ despite opposition. The message concludes with a call to live diligently and expectantly for the Lord's return and the new heavens and earth.
