Read in the book
Five-day reading plan
Participant guide
Work through the book's own Reflect & Discuss questions for this week's chapters. The last question in each set is personal — no one should be required to answer it.
From Chapter 17 — The Thousand Years and the Final Judgment
- Read Revelation 20:1–6. What is the binding of Satan for, according to verse 3? Who is seen reigning in verse 4, and what had they done?
- Three faithful views of the thousand years, one shared conviction: Jesus wins and reigns. Which view were you taught? How can you hold your own view firmly and humbly at once?
- Even after a thousand years of peace, a freed Satan finds followers. What does that suggest about the human heart — and about grace?
- Two kinds of books are opened at the great white throne. What is each one for, and how do they fit together with what the rest of the Bible says about grace?
- (Personal; feel free to pass.) Which of this chapter’s realities — the kingdom, the throne, the judgment, the book of life — do you most need to take seriously right now? What would taking it seriously look like?
Facilitator plan · about 60 minutes
- Open (5 min). Open in prayer, then read this week's key Scripture aloud together.
- Read (10 min). Let the passage speak first: what did people notice in the five-day readings?
- Discuss (35 min). Walk the participant-guide questions in order, letting everyone share who wants to. Where sincere believers differ, say so, and keep the group's eyes on Christ.
- Close (10 min). Commit together to each chapter's This Week step, and pray for one another.
