A biblical understanding of the end of the age

There will be a complete absence of sin in the new earth. In the above passage of scripture, the Holy Spirit through the apostle Peter teaches us that righteousness will dwell in the new heavens and the new earth. Currently, those who are righteous, i.e. the saints, dwell in this earth. But nevertheless, sin still dwells in this earth and not righteousness. And so, currently it is only those who reside in heaven, which experience an environment where righteousness dwells, but we, who dwell on the earth, have no idea what it is like to live in an environment, where there is the complete absence of sin. And so, as far as the earth is concerned, it is only when God creates a new earth, that righteousness will dwell there, and no sin will be present. Because even during our Lord’s millennial reign, sin will still be present on the earth, among the unbelievers being governed by the Lord Jesus and His saints. This course examines what the bible teaches us about the events that will take place after the Millennial reign of Christ. One of the first things we notice about the New Jerusalem is its immense size. For it is two thousand four hundred kilometres long and two thousand four hundred kilometres wide. Those measurements make the city about 5.7 million square kilometres in size. This is equal to about half the size of the United States of America, which for a city is enormous. So, what about its height? For the scripture teaches us that its length, breadth and height are equal. Now when some read, that the city’s height is equal to its length and breadth, they have thought that God has made the heavenly city like a giant box that is two thousand four hundred kilometres high. But that is not the case at all, for God doesn’t dwell in a box. He never has and He never will. God does dwell on Mount Zion though, and so it is the height of Mount Zion that is described by the apostle John in the above passage. This is why he says, that he was carried away in the Spirit to a great and high mountain.

This course is meant for all audiences. No previous theological study is required or expected, for it is meant to give a basic understanding of what the bible says about the subject of end time events.

Michael Maher will lecture from the bible, to walk the student through the subject of the end of the age, so that the saint can have a clear understanding of how this topic ties into end time events. As a supplementary resource, this course can be taken in tandem with the reading of Michael Maher’s book, The End of the Age.

I trust that the material and the dialogue with other students will be encouraging and enlightening for all.
