John 14:3 ESV Jesus Christ was very clear: One day He will return-and none of us knows when. Vocal fanatics claim to know the details of the Second Coming, causing many Christians to all but ignore the good news that Jesus is coming again. Yet God's own Word commands us to know the signs of the times, to remain watchful, and to be ready-whenever Christ comes. This book is a straightforward, in-depth exploration of the key biblical texts regarding the Second Coming; most notably, Christ's longest and most important eschatological message, the Olivet Discourse. As you study what the Word of God says about these matters, it will stir in your heart an earnest longing for Christ's return-as well as a certainty about how to live expectantly until He comes again.

Download or read book All about the Second Coming written by Herbert Lockyer and published by Hendrickson Publishers. This book was released on 1998 with total page 269 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The classic "All" series books have graced the shelves of pastors, students, and laypeople alike for decades. "All about The Second Coming" continues in the series' tradition of offering a faithful and comprehensive treatment of biblical subjects. Herbert Lockyer opens this work with disturbing words: "The doctrine of the Second Coming is one of the most abused and distorted in the Bible." To correct these abuses and distortions, he undertakes a detailed study of the book of Revelation. "Let us," he says, "read what the Bible has to say about Christ's coming, taking every reference at its face value." Section by section--sometimes verse by verse--he traces what this mysterious book says about the history of the world from Pentecost to the Rapture of the Church, from the Tribulation to the Great White Throne. He sheds light on often-troubling images and descriptions, helping readers feel as if they understand the message of Revelation. An appendix describes the rich significance of the many numbers appearing in Revelation, and the scripture index aids readers in finding answers to their specific questions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this fast-paced sequel to The Shroud Conspiracy “that Dan Brown fans will love” (Library Journal), the child cloned from the blood on the Shroud of Turin has the potential to change the world—or to destroy it for good. “John Heubusch is brilliant. I would read anything he writes” (Peggy Noonan, Pulitzer Prize-winning columnist and bestselling author). In this “sensational sequel” (Steve Forbes), a fallen angel is mistakenly resurrected from the blood of an evil “Watcher” taken from the Shroud of Turin, and the fiend bestows an unstoppable plague on the world. Dr. Jon Bondurant, the forensic anthropologist and avowed atheist, joins with devout Domenika Josef to bring another child of the Shroud into the world to save it, this one borne of DNA believed to be that of Jesus Christ. Can this child be the answer to their—and mankind’s—prayers? His parents are uncertain just who the child is or what he will become, but when he starts demonstrating remarkable powers to heal, they begin to understand that whatever he is, he is not of this world. Might he bring miracles to the world when it needs them the most? Or has science given mankind a tool with which it will destroy itself as the tempting power of the Watcher unfolds? What follows is a globe-spanning chase to uncover the truth and stop a pandemic that just may wipe out humanity once and for all in a “smart, electrifying thriller that delivers cover-to-cover” (Brad Thor, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Spymaster).

Download or read book The Second Coming Bible written by William Biederwolf and published by . This book was released on 2019-12-23 with total page 729 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: LARGER TYPE VERSION newly available! The classic and out-of-print The Second Coming Bible by William E. Biederwolf has been republished with permission by Sarkett & Associates, Inc. A 729-page compendium, it contains every verse in the Bible on the return of Jesus Christ, plus commentary by the author. A pastor, evangelist, and college president, William Biederwolf wrote in his introduction: "The author confesses to a ministry of twenty years without a single reference to the coming of the Lord." He set about to become knowledgeable about this essential prophecy, and more than made amends with this text, saying "it has been at times difficult and laborious, but it has proven so richly remunerative that he has been already more than repaid." We trust the modern reader will be too. Background on William E. Biederwolf Born of German parentage, September 29, 1867, in Monticello, Indiana, William Biederwolf was an energetic boy. He would often walk up the Tippecanoe River, and then swim back down to his starting point, some three miles. He made it look easy (it wasn't). One Halloween, someone took apart a wagon, and re-assembled in on the top of the county court house. The chief suspect: William Biederwolf. Young William had a distinctly spiritual side, as well. He aspired to become a Christian. Wikipedia tells the story this way: "Early in life he vowed to become a Christian. However, it did not happen until he was twenty years of age. By then he was teaching for a living. A Sunday school class began praying for him and each of the kids wrote him a letter, urging him to come out on the side of Christ. One boy even hooked up his mule team and drove over to invite Edward to church and offer him a ride. Edward went, and made the decision to use his life for Jesus. He attended Wabash College, a prestigious liberal arts college in Indiana, and from there gained admittance to Princeton, where he played football. From there he upped the academic ante even further, studying next at the University of Berlin, and following that, at the Sorbonne.He next served in the Spanish-American war as a chaplain. The thoughtful young man's very first book was the history of his regiment. From 1900 on, he devoted his energies to evangelism. Competitive there just as on the gridiron, he imagined himself as directly pitted against Satan for the souls of the unconverted, and gave everything he had to prevail.While a pastor, he wrote The Second Coming Bible, originally published in 1924, then reprinted again in 1972 by Baker House, Grand Rapids, Michigan.Biederwolf eventually became president of Winona College, directed the Winona Lake Bible School of Theology, and founded the Family Altar League. Having lived a thoroughly remarkable and productive life, in service of others, he passed on, September 3, 1939, age 71. The night before, he said to his wife Ida, "I am soon going to exchange my cross for a crown." Having studied the matter in great depth, his assurance was rock solid.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the bestselling author of Kill Your Friends, a wildly funny look at the midlife crisis of a loveable rogue. “A high-octane novel of excess” (Ian Rankin). Irish novelist Kennedy Marr is a first rate bad boy. When he is not earning a fortune as one of Hollywood’s most sought after scriptwriters, he is drinking, insulting, and philandering his way through Los Angeles, ‘successfully debunking the myth that men are unable to multitask.’ He is loved by many women, but loathed by even more including ex-wives on both sides of the pond. Kennedy’s appetite for trouble is insatiable, but when he discovers that he owes 1.4 million dollars in back taxes, it seems his outrageous, hedonistic lifestyle may not be as sustainable as he thought. Forced to accept a teaching position at sleepy Deeping University, where his ex-wife and teenaged daughter now reside, Kennedy returns to England with a paper trail of tabloid headlines and scorned starlets hot on his bespoke heels. However, as he acclimatizes to the quaint campus Kennedy is forced to reconsider his laddish lifestyle. Incredible as it may seem, there might actually be a father and a teacher lurking inside this ‘preening, narcissistic, priapic sociopath’. “A sharp and knowing satire of the film industry, publishing and academia.” —The Guardian
Download or read book Boxed Second Coming of Christ written by Paramahansa Yogananda and published by Self Realization Fellowship. This book was released on 2008-09 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This attractive two-volume, slip-cased edition of The Second Coming of Christ, presents Paramahansa Yogananda's unique perspective on the real meaning of Jesus' teachings, and takes the reader on a revelatory journey, verse by verse, through the four Gospels. Dispelling centuries old misconceptions and dogma, this monumental work is destined to leave an indelible mark on the way the world views the teachings of Jesus Christ. In titling this work The Second Coming of Christ, I am not referring to a literal return of Jesus to earth. He came two thousand years ago and, after imparting a universal path to God's kingdom, was crucified and resurrected; his reappearance to the masses now is not necessary for the fulfillment of his teachings. What is necessary is for the cosmic wisdom and divine perception of Jesus to speak again through each one's own experience and understanding of the infinite Christ Consciousness that was incarnate in Jesus. That will be his true Second Coming.
