How many judgments are there in Scripture? Listen to this lesson to learn the difference between the Judgment Seat of Christ for believers and the Great White Throne Judgment for unbelievers.

If you think the Bible is ambiguous and too hard to understand, it’s probably because you don’t like what it says. Listen to this closing lesson for this series to be reminded that God has a clear plan for the ages but that Satan constantly tries to confuse the truth about it. See how over the years many attempts have been made to bridge the gap between classic dispensationalism and covenental theology under the guise of progressive dispensationalism. See how using allegorical interpretation of Scripture instead of literal, historical, and grammatical hermeneutics has led to much of the confusion. As Christians, look forward to the Rapture as the the next great Biblical event, and be confident in the assurance of your eternal destiny.
