Why Prophecy Matters
(Revelation 22:18-19): In the Bible, you'll find countless references of prophetic words and stories. But why should we care about studying prophecies in the Bible that have or have not come to pass? In this lesson, Tony Evans covers six important reasons why prophecy in the Bible is so important.

The Key to Prophecy
(Revelation 19:10): What if I told you there is a master key that unlocks all of the doors of God's prophetic program? You may be surprised to find that you've already heard of it: Jesus Christ is God's master key to prophecy. If you wish to understand God's prophecies better, join Tony Evans as he explains how Jesus is the centerpiece, cause, content and culmination of prophecy.

Israel and the Church
(Romans 11:25-27): It's hard to understand the history of the world from God's point of view if you do not understand the history of Israel. After rejecting Christ's first coming, God turned from Israel to the church to operate His kingdom until a later time. Learn this and more as Tony Evans delves deeper into the complexities surrounding the relationship between Israel and the Gentile church.

Rapture of the Church
(1 Thessalonians 4:13-18): You've probably read, watched or heard of the popular book series, Left Behind, that introduced many people to the realities of the biblical rapture. But to understand this event and how it will affect you, it's also important to realize why. Join Tony Evans in this detailed look at the next event on the prophetic calendar-the return of Christ for His people.

The Judgment Seat of Christ
(2 Corinthians 5:6-11): When you accept Jesus Christ as your Savior, God declares you innocent in your eternal destiny with no strings attached. But what if I told you there will still be a time where you will present yourself at the judgment seat of God? Tony Evans says this isn't to evaluate your salvation, but to evaluate whether or not you let Him work through you. Learn about the impact your actions today have on the rewards God has in store for you in heaven.

The Coming Tribulation
(2 Thessalonians 2:1-12): While some people believe that all of the pain or suffering in the world today exists as a result of God's wrath, Tony Evans says that it instead stems from the consequences of humanity's bad choices. However, there will exist a time where God will choose to act on how much He hates sin-a time that we as Christians thankfully won't have to experience. In this lesson, Dr. Evans takes a look at the seven-year period known as the Tribulation where the world will see how evil the devil truly is.

The Millennial Kingdom
(Revelation 20:1-7): It's hard to imagine a world without any pain or chaos, and as much as humanity may try, it will never be able to achieve perfect peace. But Tony Evans wants you to know about a time that is coming where our world will become a flawless utopia under Christ's governing. Learn more about the thousand-year rule of Jesus Christ and how your current walk with God will affect your role at that time.

The Second Coming of Christ
(Revelation 19:11-21): When a Roman general would return from a battle victorious, you would find him riding upon a white horse to signify his victory over the enemy. At the end of the seven-year Tribulation, Jesus Christ will also ride upon a white horse in proclamation of His victory. Join Tony Evans in this look at the events that lead up to the most awe-inspiring event in human history: the second coming of Jesus Christ.

The White Throne of Judgment
(Revelation 20:11-15): Because the requirement to be accepted by God is nothing less than perfection, God took the sins of the whole world and credited them to Jesus Christ, our Savior. But to those who refuse His free gift, there is coming a time where He will be known by a different title: Judge. In this lesson, Tony Evans explains the white throne of judgment and why we should be aware of the last courtroom in history.

What Happens When We Die
(Luke 16:19-31): Statistics say that about one in every five people is terrified of dying. But Tony Evans wants you to remember that if Christ Jesus is your Savior, you're not waiting for the land of death-you're waiting for the land of the living. Learn more about what God has to say about the reality of death in this lesson on what really happens when His time for you comes.

The Glory of Heaven
(John 14:1-3): There are a great many questions about what exactly heaven will be like when we arrive. What kind of body will we have? Do we have to eat? Or will we even recognize people we know today? Tony Evans will answer these questions and more in this look at the place that Jesus Christ said long ago He is preparing for you.

The Agony of Hell
(Mark 9:42-48): If you were asked why a loving God would create a place of torment such as hell, would you know what to say? While many people are made constantly aware of the treasures of heaven, there are many others who are unaware of the agonies of hell. In this lesson, Tony Evans tackles the difficult topic of hell and why it is a subject that should be taken very seriously.
