The Tranquility after the Second Coming (16 of 17)
Series: Sign Posts on the Road to Armageddon
Dr. James O. Davis
Revelation 20:1-6
Introduction:
Men have always dreamed of a golden age. Plato in his Republic envisioned a time when the crooked things in life would be made straight. Bacon dreamed Atlantis would be a place of universal peace and prosperity. Presidents have dreamed of utopia in programs like the new deal, the new frontier, the great society, the new world order, and I have a dream.

God will always fulfill his promises and covenants, whether made to a man, men, or a nation. There are basically two kinds of covenants.
A) The Conditional Promise-Here God lays down specific conditions before the promise is fulfilled. For example, 2 Chronicles 7:14 says, "If my people, which are called by my name (talking about the Israelites), shall humble themselves and pray and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven. I will forgive their sin and heal their land." Notice, there are certain prerequisites to be met before the privileges are experienced. "If My people...then God."
B) The Unconditional Covenants-There are also unconditional covenants. One was the promise God made to David that He was going to establ ...
