Recap on our hopes and how they involve heaven
Two views of the intermediate state: soul sleep or soul in heaven
Resurrection as life after life after death
Luke 23:39-43 - Today in Paradise

• Paradise = Eden = heaven?
• Jesus between death and resurrection
• When Jesus comes into his kingdom

Two notes on reading Revelation responsibly
Revelation 6:9-11 - Martyrs before God's Throne

• Lamenting but resting

Revelation 7:9-10, 13-17 - The Great Multitude
Revelation 20:1-6

• Millennial reign as Jesus' ministry to now
• Christ's reign (1 Cor 15; Heb 2)
• Satan bound (Mark 3)
• First & second resurrection, first & second death
