The End of the Demons - Chains, the Abyss, and the Eternal Fire

"Have You come to torment us before the time?" The demons do not ask whether they will be judged — only about the schedule. They believe the sentence is already passed. Scripture agrees: chains now, the abyss at the appointed hour, and a fire prepared for the devil and his angels.

The Tribulation

"The tribulation" designates the unparalleled period of distress Scripture places immediately before the return of Christ — Daniel's "time of distress such as never occurred" (Daniel 12:1), Jeremiah's "time of Jacob's distress" (Jeremiah 30:7), and Jesus' "great tribulation" (Matthew 24:21).

The Resurrection of the Dead

The Bible's hope for the dead is not the soul's escape from the body but the body's resurrection from the grave.

The Second Coming

The return of Christ is not the *end of creation* but its *glorification*. The new creation is the consummation of God's original creative intent — creation restored, humanity perfected, all things renewed.
