Download or read book The Age of Ages and the Christian s Future written by Lee Bruner and published by Covenant Books, Inc.. This book was released on 2020-06-05 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is primarily for the Christian, but anyone who reads its pages will be enriched by its content. All should understand the full and complete gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ. The Christian's hope, when fully understood, is the greatest promise ever given to any being in all of God's creation. When the good news is revealed, it gives the believer what I call "hold-on power." Hold-on power is what the Christian receives when the Holy Spirit makes known in his or her being that everything in the gospel is true and, therefore, worthy of holding on to. The truths written in this book do just that-and also for all non-Christian readers. You will find a Christian perspective on aliens, UFOs, and whether there is life on other planets. Was there life on earth before the emergence of man? Where do demons come from, and did God make them? What is the future for all of creation? These and many, many more questions will be addressed by this revelation; but most importantly, the reader will learn what happens in the universe when all who are going to heaven are admitted, and the kingdom of God is instituted. It is my hope that all who read will understand the full scope of the unsearchable riches of Christ and, just like me, repent and receive the Lord Jesus Christ and this wonderful hope.

Download or read book The Sum of All Ages written by Durwood White and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-12-02 with total page 486 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this narrative we lay out the groundwork for a detailed study of the sum of all ages in four sections: Eternity Past, Ages Past, Present Age, and Eternity Future. We shall start at the beginning-before time as we know it to set the stage of God's creation of this planet, which we call Earth. Our theme is prophecy! Prophecy is history written in advance. Prophecy's accuracy hinges upon the dependency of the One who is history-that person is Jesus Christ. Bible prophecy is God's description of future events (Acts 15:18). God's Word contains 10,385 predictions. Each one has been or will be fulfilled in the minutest of detail. God's Word has proven itself by not failing even in one small point concerning Christ's First Advent. Prophecy concerning the Second Coming is also being fulfilled leading up to the end of this age, and skeptics must forever admit they failed to believe the Son of the Living God (Rom. 3:4). He will come again (Acts 1:11). Must one reject Christ's salvation and forever exist in the torture of the eternal judgment? No other religion but Christianity has written prophecies that have been fulfilled during our lifetime. There is only one prophecy remaining on the timeline of the ages before the Son of God-Jesus Christ returns to this earth as he prophesied; the rapture of the Church, which signals Seven-year tribulation and the race to judgment of the world. Prophecy is the theme of the Old Testament, and the key to all the promises of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Prophecy has been neglected by many preaching pastors, and the congregations are milk-fed and immature in the Word of God. God is the author of prophecy. He is the creator of all things past, present, and future, the first and the last, and there is no other God in the universe, because He created everything. He holds the world in his hands and controls our next breath. Regarding the Christian dead, the Bible teaches that the body is asleep in one place (the grave) whereas the soul is alive in another place (heaven). To be "absent from the body" is to be present with the Lord (2 Cor. 5:8). When Christ returns at the Rapture, he brings those that sleep (are dead) with Him (1 Thess. 4:14). You ask, How can He bring the dead with Him and still come for the dead (cf. 1 Thess. 4:16)? The souls and spirits are with the Lord, but the bodies are in the grave of the earth. That's why Christ brings the "dead" (souls and spirits) with Him so they may be reunited with their bodies. That is why the dead in Christ rise first. With all the information that now hides in the shadows of our minds revealing why and how the Lord will return for the Church, His Appearing is still clueless for most Christians. Even the New Testament writers expected the Lord's return at any moment (Phil. 3:20). All signs of the Lord's return have to do with the coming of Christ to set up his Kingdom on Earth (The Millennium). The end-time signs are only indicators of the approaching Rapture, because this event precedes the establishment of the Kingdom by seven years: the Tribulation, Daniel's 70th week of years. What relationship exists between the Rapture and prophetic signs? None! The Rapture is a "blinking of the eye" and the Church is evacuated before the great judgment of the Tribulation hour, which is all about Israel! There are two "appearing" of Christ at the Second Coming. Christ "snatches" (rapture) out the Church before the Tribulation (His Appearing) and meets His Bride (Church) in the heavens. Christ returns as the roaring Lion of Judah (His Revelation) at the time of Armageddon (His Revelation). Of course, there are many views about tribulation, the millennium, rapture and the Second Coming. We shall deal with all these questions here in this narrative.

Download or read book Understanding End Times Prophecy written by Paul Benware and published by Moody Publishers. This book was released on 2006-05-01 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many Christians think of end times prophecy as a gigantic, intimidating puzzle -- difficult to piece together and impossible to figure out. But every puzzle can be solved if you approach it the right way. Paul Benware compares prophecy to a picture puzzle. Putting the edge pieces together first builds the 'framework' that makes it easier to fit the other pieces in their place. According to Benware, the framework for eschatology is the biblical covenants. He begins his comprehensive survey by explaining the major covenants. Then he discusses several different interpretations of end times prophecy. Benware digs into the details of the Rapture, the Great Tribulation, the judgements and resurrections, and the millennial kingdom. But he also adds a unique, personal element to the study, answering questions as: -Why study bible prophecy? -What difference does it make if I'm premillenial or amillenial? If what the Bible says about the future puzzles you, Understanding End Times Prophecy will help you put together the pieces and see the big picture.
Download or read book The Sign of the End of the Age written by Paul Kalbach and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2016-12-13 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is a small groundswell of thinking in the evangelical church that we may not have achieved a proper biblical understanding of end-times events. It is important for us to return to a careful study of these things, because the time is near. In The Sign of the End of the Age: What Jesus Taught about the Future in Matthew 24, author Paul Kalbach helps you discoveror rediscoverthe Olivet Discourse, the Lords clear road map that all other prophetic Scriptures must reckon with. To understand the discourse, we must answer one critical question: what is Matthew 24 aboutthe future program for Israel or the end of the age events for all believers, including the church? Kalbach presents extensive arguments that show a different timing and sequence of events than is usually taught by proponents of the pretribulation rapture position. His in-depth study adheres to a most literal interpretation method. The Sign of the End of the Age seeks to bring a deeper understanding of the end-times period, vital in a world that shows every sign that this time is near.

Download or read book Regnum Caelorum written by Charles Evan Hill and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 1992 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Did the early Christians believe that the righteous went to heaven at death, or did they believe a subterranean refreshment awaited the saints? Did most Christians look for a millennium on earth, a thousand-year, glorious reign of Christ to ensue upon his second coming and to precede the last judgement, or did they cling to the hope that Christ would judge the world and distribute eternal rewards immediately upon his return? By demonstrating the links between 'global' and 'individual' notions of eschatology in the period from the New Testament to Dionysius of Alexandria (mid-third century AD), Dr. Hill reveals two competing patterns of teaching which vied for acceptance in the fledgling church. He challenges many long held assumptions about the eschatology of the period and in doing so brings greater definition to our picture of the beliefs and longings of the early Church.
Download or read book A Heart for the Future written by Robert Boak Slocum and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2018-02-20 with total page 319 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Apart from impressive liturgical expressions every year in Advent and one stirring statement called “The Christian Hope,” which concludes the Prayer Book Catechism, the Episcopal Church is not known for its formation and application of eschatology—the doctrine of last things. A Heart for the Future: Writings on the Christian Hope may change that. The distinguished and diverse contributing authors—including Robert M. Cooper, Robert D. Hughes, Harold T. Lewis, Fredrica Harris Thompsett, Paul F. M. Zahl, and Robert Boak Slocum (who is also the general editor)—differ widely in method, meaning, and approach. They are very much alike, however, in the rigor with which they profess their faith in the Christian future, avoiding the simplistic eschatology that would cleave the Body of Christ in two by creating a false dichotomy between walking with God in this world and walking toward God in the next. The choice Christians must make is not between the now and the external; it is between being forward-looking and being backward-looking. Unless we look with eagerness and longing toward the future, we will stay stranded in the past. To live the Christian life today, we need A Heart for the Future.

Download or read book Christian Understandings of the Future written by Amy Frykholm and published by Fortress Press. This book was released on 2016-10-01 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Throughout the two-thousand-year span of Christian history, believers in Jesus have sought to articulate their faith and their understanding of how God works in the world. How do we, as we examine the vast and varied output of those who came before us, understand the unity and the diversity of their thinking? How do we make sense of our own thought in light of theirs? The Christian Understandings series offers to help. In this crisp and engaging volume Amy Frykholm offers a tour through more than two millennia of Christian thought on the future. Starting with the contexts of the Hebrew Bible and moving forward, Frykholm outlines the enduring fascination believers have had with future events and the myriad ways they have articulated their beliefs about what the future holds. From the imperial contexts of the book of Revelation to the end times prophecy of Harold Camping, Frykholm presents a thoughtful and insightful tour.
Download or read book The End of the Ages Has Come written by Dale C. Allison Jr. and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2013-10-01 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How does one explain the New Testament texts that seem to announce the imminent arrival of the long-awaited Day of the Lord? In this study, Dale Allison presents a comprehensive analysis of the first-century beliefs about the period of suffering and tribulation which was to precede the general resurrection of the dead. Although such beliefs were not uncommon, they have received little attention from New Testament scholars. Dr. Allison argues that they provided the conceptual tools that allowed New Testament writers to make sense of the death and resurrection of Jesus, without abandoning altogether Jesus' own messianic expectations and belief in some imminent radical change. Dr. Allison shows that the realized eschatology of the Gospels is not, as is so often thought, the product of Jesus' own teaching and preaching. Rather, it stems from the reflection of the earliest Christian communities on the death of Jesus, in the light of his belief in a imminent End. Dr. Allison offers a stimulating and detailed account of the teaching of Jesus and of the New Testament records of the passion and resurrection of Jesus. He concludes his study with an important discussion of the way this process of reflection has continued throughout Christian history and indeed how it continues to influence Christian thinking today.

Download or read book The Darkening Age written by Catherine Nixey and published by HarperCollins. This book was released on 2018-04-17 with total page 373 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A New York Times Notable Book, winner of the Jerwood Award from the Royal Society of Literature, a New York Times Book Review Editors’ Choice, and named a Book of the Year by the Telegraph, Spectator, Observer, and BBC History Magazine, this bold new history of the rise of Christianity shows how its radical followers helped to annihilate Greek and Roman civilizations. The Darkening Age is the largely unknown story of how a militant religion deliberately attacked and suppressed the teachings of the Classical world, ushering in centuries of unquestioning adherence to "one true faith." Despite the long-held notion that the early Christians were meek and mild, going to their martyrs' deaths singing hymns of love and praise, the truth, as Catherine Nixey reveals, is very different. Far from being meek and mild, they were violent, ruthless, and fundamentally intolerant. Unlike the polytheistic world, in which the addition of one new religion made no fundamental difference to the old ones, this new ideology stated not only that it was the way, the truth, and the light but that, by extension, every single other way was wrong and had to be destroyed. From the first century to the sixth, those who didn't fall into step with its beliefs were pursued in every possible way: social, legal, financial, and physical. Their altars were upturned and their temples demolished, their statues hacked to pieces, and their priests killed. It was an annihilation. Authoritative, vividly written, and utterly compelling, this is a remarkable debut from a brilliant young historian.
