  11. DISCUSSION GUIDE 4. Earthly kings are temporary; God’s King Jesus is forever. How should you live with confident hope knowing you serve a forever King?

  12. DISCUSSION GUIDE 5. What does (Daniel 2:44-45) teach about the reliability of the coming Kingdom of God? The Kingdom of God will destroy all others and it is indestructible and eternal.

  13. DISCUSSION GUIDE 6. How does (Daniel 7:13-14) offer great hope for the future for all Christ-followers? Christ is the ruling authority and has all honor and sovereignty. He is eternal.

  14. DISCUSSION GUIDE 7. How should a Christ-follower live now in light of these promises?

  15. DISCUSSION GUIDE 8a. What are the different names John calls the dragon in (Rev. 20:2)? Serpent of old, the devil, Satan. b. What happens to Satan during the millennium? (v. 3) He is locked in the abyss and his evil is contained.

  16. DISCUSSION GUIDE 9. What are the different theories about the millennium? a. Pre-millennial view – Christ will return before the millennium b. Post-millennial view – Christ will return after the millennium c. A-millennial view – The millennium is spiritual not literal

  17. DISCUSSION GUIDE 10. Why is the a-millennial view more difficult to accept? (Rev. 20:4-5) John refers to a resurrection of those who were martyred during the tribulation, if the millennium is only spiritual when did this resurrection occur?

  18. DISCUSSION GUIDE 11. What is the purpose of the millennial kingdom? a. It is the fulfillment of God’s promises to Israel and to Christ (See Ps. 2; Luke 1:30-33) b. It will be a world-wide display of God’s glory (See Rom. 8:19-22) c. It will be God’s final demonstration of the sinfulness of sin

  19. DISCUSSION GUIDE 12. Who will be a part of the first resurrection? (v. 6) The tribulation martyrs and the church as symbolized by the 24 Elders.

  21. DISCUSSION GUIDE 14. Who are Gog and Magog that John refers to in (v. 8)? Scholars have differences of opinion on this but it is certain that it refers to armies of evil that will be mobilized to reign terror on Israel but they will be wiped out by the power of God.

  22. DISCUSSION GUIDE 15. What will happen to Satan and his followers? (vs. 9-10) They will be destroyed quickly and Satan will be cast into hell forever.

  23. DISCUSSION GUIDE 16. Why will God allow Satan a time on earth after the millennium? To prove that even in a great situation man will still choose evil. A perfect environment will not produce a perfect heart.
