Oxford Bible Church - Living in the Last Days

Revelation 10-13 describe a series of dramatic events that happen at Mid-Tribulation, setting the stage for the Great Tribulation, including the death and resurrection of the 2 witnesses, 7th Trumpet, the war in heaven and escape to Petra, the rise of antichrist to world-dictator, the mark and image of the beast.

God has 3 Purposes for the Tribulation: (1) to judge wickedness, (2) a world-wide Soul-Harvest, (3) the Salvation of Israel. The key to Revelation 6-19 is understanding the Scroll with 7 Seals is the Title Deed of the earth. Derek explains the 7 Seals and first 6 Trumpets, and summarises the events at Mid-Tribulation.

Jesus Christ taught much on eternal rewards (treasures in heaven), like the Parable of the Talents. Rewards include thrones of authority, garments of glory, and 5 crowns (the crowns of rejoicing, righteousness, life, glory and the incorruptible crown). Pastor Derek also answers objections to the teaching of eternal rewards.

Immediately after the Rapture all believers will stand before the Judgment Seat of Christ to give an account and be judged for their works as servants of God to receive their eternal rewards. There are 4 main passages on this momentous event (Romans 14:10-13, 2Corinthians 5:9-11, 1Corinthians 4:2-5, 1Corinthians 3:10-15).

Jesus Christ brought in the New Birth by His Death and Resurrection, so that now when believers die they do not go through the Gates of Hades, but to Heaven. Before the Cross, believers went to Paradise in Hades, but on the resurrection morning Jesus made their spirits perfect and took them with Him to Heaven.
