The 1782 Aitken Bible

Things to Come: We believe that the Scriptures do foretell certain future events among which are the following:

Rapture of the Church. We believe that Jesus Christ will return to the atmosphere of this earth; that the dead in Christ will rise first, then believers who are still living will be caught up together with them to meet the Lord in the air and to be with the Lord forever; that the Rapture is the next event on the revealed calendar and that no prophecy need be fulfilled before it occurs, (1 Corinthians 15:51-54; 1 Thessalonians 4:13-181 Titus 2:13)

Tribulation. We believe that the Rapture of the Church will be followed on earth by Israel’s seventieth week; that though there will be salvation, this will be a time of great judgments, the latter part being known as the Great Tribulation, (Daniel 9:26,27; Revelation 7:4,9,14; 13:6-17)

Second Coming. We believe that following the Tribulation, Christ will return to the earth with His glorified saints to establish the Millennial Kingdom; that during the 1,000 years of peace and prosperity, Satan will be bound and Christ will reign with a rod of iron; that at the end of the Millennium, Satan will be released for a short time, deceive many and lead them in final rebellion but will be destroyed with his armies, (Psalms 2; Isaiah 26:20; Daniel 9:24; 12:1,2; Revelation 20:1-10)

Eternal State. We believe that the unsaved men of all ages will be resurrected and together with the evil angels will be finally judged and condemned to everlasting, conscious punishment in hell; that all saved of all ages in glorified bodies will enjoy everlasting blessing in the presence of God, (1 Corinthians 3:13-15; 2 Corinthians 5:10; Revelation 20:6,7,15; Revelation 21-22)
