images that Scriptures use to describe the truth

Describe the "marks of the church" and the "attributes of the church." Why are these features important for understanding what the "church" is supposed to be? 

marks - ways that sixteenth-century protestants could tell if a church was true or false (preaching, ordinances, discipline)

attributes - qualities of the church (unity, holiness, universality, and apostolicity)

2 Thess 1:9 (punishment)

Rev 20:10-15 (devil’s punishment)

Rev 21:26 - new Heaven and new earth

universalism - everyone will be saved

annihilationism - people will temporarily suffer

What are the four major views on the nature of the millennium? Why is this issue important but secondary in our total understanding of eschatology?  

amillenniamism - believers reign with Christ

postmillenniumism - Christ comes after the 1000 years

pre historical - Christ comes before (2 resurrections)

pre-dispensational satan cannot deceive during the 1000 years, 3 resurrections
