This book was released on with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Have you thought about tomorrow? Are you assured of your salvation? Tomorrow is not guaranteed to anyone! There is coming a time when Jesus will say to “would-be Christians,” “I never knew you” (Matthew 7:23). The Hebrew/Jewish wedding depicts a faithful and true Bride waiting for the return of the Bridegroom. Currently, the Bridegroom, Jesus Christ, is preparing a mansion of many rooms for His Bride in the Heavenly, Celestial City of God. This New Jerusalem is to be our eternal dwelling place in the presence of the Glory of God. Soon the Father of the Bridegroom will say “Son, go get her? Are you ready to be that spotless Bride of Christ? Will a faithful and true Bride be spared the Lord’s wrath? Does God have a plan to again separate light from darkness? What is your Tribulation destiny? These are some of the mysteries of the New Testament and the secrets of the Old Testament Scriptures. The key to the riddle of understanding these end-time prophetic questions depends upon unveiling Scripture passages, and an understanding of the Hebraic roots of the Christian faith. Let this journey be a path of discovery, and a time of spiritual renewal for you.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The rapture--or the belief that Jesus' living followers will, at some point, join him forever while others do not--is an important but contested doctrine among evangelicals. Scholars generally hold one of three perspectives on the timing and circumstances of the rapture, all of which are presented in this important volume of the Counterpoints series, Three Views on the Rapture: Alan D. Hultberg (PhD, Trinity International University and professor of New Testament at Talbot School of Theology) explains the Pre-Wrath view. Craig Blaising (PhD, Dallas Theological Seminary and president of Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary) defends the Pre-Tribulation view. Douglas Moo (PhD, University of St. Andrews and professor of New Testament at Wheaton College) sets forth the Post-Tribulation view. Each author provides a substantive explanation of his position, which is critiqued by the other two authors. A thorough introduction gives a historical overview of the doctrine of the rapture and its effects on the church. The interactive and fair-minded format of the Counterpoints series allows readers to consider the strengths and weaknesses of each view and draw informed, personal conclusions.
Download or read book The Messiah S Imminent Return written by DeLinda N. Baker and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2017-11-13 with total page 135 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Throughout both the Old and New Testament, there are numerous prophecies pointing to the return of the Messiah in power and glory. In the early church, a prevailing message was Jesuss promise to return in the clouds. The knowledge that the Messiah would someday return and deliver Israel and the saints from the evils of this world has been a tremendous source of encouragement over the ages. The questions have been and continue to be, When will Jesus return? Have the signs of his return been fulfilled? Is the Messiahs return imminent? In this book, we will explore the scriptures that outline the signs that will precede the return of Jesus Christ in power and glory. In addition to looking at scriptures on the topic, we will look at current and historical events that may be significant. Also, we will ask how this impacts Christians and how we should respond. In Matthew 25, Jesus tells a parable of a bridegroom and ten virgins. The bridegrooms return was delayed so that the wedding party became drowsy and fell asleep. When he returned late in the night, only those who were ready went with him to the wedding feast. The others were left behind. As Christians, we need to be ready for Jesuss return. Come prepared to dig deep into scriptures and look forward to Jesuss return!

Download or read book The Quickly Approaching Rapture written by Martin Sondermann and published by . This book was released on 2020-03-30 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Are we living in the last days? The world is changing and many people sense that something is coming. In recent years there have been many strange and frightful events such as pandemics, wildfires, earthquakes, floods, wars, strange unexplained sounds heard around the globe, dramatic weather events, political unrest, and rapidly declining moral values. It has caused many to realize, things are just not normal.But what does it all mean? Was all of this predicted in the Bible? And, if so, what can we expect next? In the book The Quickly Approaching Rapture, author Martin Sondermann will examine passages from the Bible that point to the Rapture of the Church as the next big event on the prophetic calendar. This event will shake the world and change everything in a single moment.Will Christians actually disappear? This book will also examine the theory that claims every Christian will physically disappear during the Rapture and offers a second theory, in which, the Bible may be describing a time when believers in Jesus Christ will simply leave their old bodies behind in exchange for new ones. In this book Martin also looks at passages of Scripture in order to answer the growing critics of the doctrine of the Rapture from within the Church. He looks at early Church writings and Biblical passages in an effort to prove the doctrine of the Rapture is not new as some suggest, but that it's tied to the Biblical passages related to what is known as the imminent return of Jesus Christ. Martin also examines passages of the Bible that describe a last days "apostasy" and attempts to explain what it is and makes the case that we may be living in these very days which the Bible describes.

Download or read book The Rapture Exposed written by Barbara R. Rossing and published by Basic Books. This book was released on 2007-03-30 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The idea of "The Rapture" -- the return of Christ to rescue and deliver Christians off the earth -- is an extremely popular interpretation of the Bible's Book of Revelation and a jumping-off point for the best-selling "Left Behind" series of books. This interpretation, based on a psychology of fear and destruction, guides the daily acts of thousands if not millions of people worldwide. In The Rapture Exposed, Barbara Rossing argues that this script for the world's future is nothing more than a disingenuous distortion of the Bible. The truth, Rossing argues, is that Revelation offers a vision of God's healing love for the world. The Rapture Exposed reclaims Christianity from fundamentalists' destructive reading of the biblical story and back into God's beloved community.

Download or read book Reading Revelation Responsibly written by Michael J. Gorman and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2011-01-01 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reading Revelation Responsibly is for those who are confused by, afraid of, and/or preoccupied with the book of Revelation. In rescuing the Apocalypse from those who either completely misinterpret it or completely ignore it, Michael Gorman has given us both a guide to reading Revelation in a responsible way and a theological engagement with the text itself. He takes interpreting the book as a serious and sacred responsibility, believing how one reads, teaches, and preaches Revelation can have a powerful impact on one's own--and other people's--well-being. Gorman pays careful attention to the book's original historical and literary contexts, its connections to the rest of Scripture, its relationship to Christian doctrine and practice, and its potential to help or harm people in their life of faith. Rather than a script for the end times, Gorman demonstrates how Revelation is a script for Christian worship, witness, and mission that runs counter to culturally embedded civil religion.
