This powerful teaching confronts us with one of Christianity's most difficult doctrines: hell and final judgment. Drawing from Revelation 19-20, we're presented with a stark contrast between Jesus's first coming as a humble lamb and His second coming as a conquering lion. The message doesn't shy away from the uncomfortable reality that those who have suffered evil often find comfort in the promise of ultimate justice. Through the story of an abuse survivor who initially celebrated the doctrine of hell before experiencing transformation, we see how our understanding of judgment evolves as we grasp our own need for mercy. The teaching explores three major views of the millennium—premillennialism, postmillennialism, and amillennialism—helping us understand different perspectives on Christ's reign while emphasizing what truly matters: that Christ has returned, evil is defeated, and those whose names are written in the Lamb's Book of Life need not fear judgment. This isn't just theological speculation; it's an invitation to examine our own hearts, extend the grace we've received to others, and live with confident hope in God's perfect justice and mercy.
