  2. Search the Scriptures • Study Revelation chapters 21 and 22. • What will be the best part about heaven? • Being in the presence of God • What will be absent in heaven? • Death, mourning, crying, pain • How much will heaven cost? • Nothing (for us) • Who will end up in the fiery lake of burning sulfur? • The cowardly, unbelieving, vile, murderers, the sexually immoral, those who practice magic arts, the idolaters and all liars Lesson 5 The End Is Coming!

  3. Search the Scriptures • From which verse in Revelation chapter 21 do we get the phrase “pearly gates”? • 21:21—“twelve gates were twelve pearls” • How will heaven be illuminated? • The glory of God is its light, the Lamb, its lamp. • What else will be in heaven? • The river of the water of life, the tree of life • When is Jesus coming back? • Soon Lesson 5 The End Is Coming!

  5. True or false F T T F F Death is like a sleep in the sense that the dead are unconscious. Death is like a sleep in the sense that the dead will “wake up” at the resurrection. We are presently living in the last days. At the end of the world, God will send another flood to destroy the earth. By studying the Bible, Christians can pinpoint a date for Christ’s return. Lesson 5 The End Is Coming!

  6. True or false T T T T F We should always be prepared for the second coming of Christ or for our own departure. Our new bodies in the resurrection will be glorified as Christ’s body was after he was raised. The new heaven and new earth refer to real, physical places where God’s people will dwell with him. There is no reason for a Christian to be afraid of physical death. When Jesus returns, unbelievers will have another chance to repent and believe. Lesson 5 The End Is Coming!

  7. Questions for discussion We live in a culture that is obsessed with youth and beauty. How can Christians age gracefully? Technology has enabled medicine to extend life in ways that were impossible only a few years ago. How is this both good and bad? How should Christians feel about lengthening our time on this earth?
