Last Days
Teacher
Lesson Summary
The class began by reviewing Jesus’ teaching on the Second Coming, stressing that the exact day and hour remain known only to the Father (Mark 13:32). The teacher highlighted three biblical illustrations—coming like a thief in the night, like a woman in labor, and the need for watchfulness—to underscore continual readiness. He then described the premillennial view of the Great White Throne Judgment and the general resurrection, explaining that believers will either enter heaven or face eternal separation. The focus shifted to the Antichrist, where the teacher outlined a timeline featuring two distinct figures: one rising from the European Common Market and another from the Jewish people. Both are portrayed as political leaders who will oppose each other, trigger a seven‑year tribulation, and lead humanity into the Battle of Armageddon. The class examined scriptural references such as Daniel 11:31, the “abomination of desolation,” and 1 John 2:18, while also critiquing contemporary interpretations that associate these passages with modern geopolitics. Throughout, the emphasis remained on staying vigilant, discerning truth, and trusting in God’s ultimate plan.
