“Many Folds, One Flock,” Matt. 24 and Overview of Revelation

Dr. Terry Ewell

For notes see: www.terryewell.com/trinity

 

There are different people groups in God's plan. However, certain facts about God's plan of salvation are consistent for all:

 

All redemption or salvation is only available through Jesus Christ by faith.

Acts 4:12, Rev. 13:8

 

Christ offered a sacrifice once, not many times. Likewise all people have one death and then one judgment. All will stand before God to be judged.

Hebrews 9:24-28

 

“Many folds, one flock” John 10:16
