Download or read book Understanding the End Times written by Bob Yandian and published by Destiny Image Publishers. This book was released on 2013-05-13 with total page 163 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Last Days Play-by-Play for the Christian Countless books have been written that link current events to end-time scriptures predicting the soon return of Jesus. But too often Christians have devalued the Bible message by predicting an Antichrist who dies, or by predicting dates that come and go with no Jesus. Bob Yandian, Bible scholar and veteran pastor of more than 30 years, says the whole point is to focus on God's unchanging plan—not news headlines. In Understanding the End Times, Bob points out that while we have every reason to believe Jesus’ coming is imminent, we need to focus on understanding God’s plan for the ages by weaving together biblical prophecies and interpreting world events in light of it. With straightforward, scriptural teaching, Bob outlines: The Rapture of the Church *The Judgment Seat of Christ * The Tribulation Daniel’s 70th week * The Second Coming * Dispensational truths The Millennial Reign * FAQs Don’t be concerned or confused about what’s coming in the world. This teaching will make it clear that the Bible does not line up with the world—the world must line up with the Bible. Christian, look up to see that your redemption is closer than ever!

Download or read book Torah Through Time written by Shai Cherry and published by Jewish Publication Society. This book was released on 2010-01-01 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This book provides a highly readable, engaging introduction to Jewish biblical interpretation." - Jewish Book World "Cherry has analyzed the biblical commentary of some of the renowned Jewish scholars of the last 2,000 years. The result is a work of excellent scholarship and imagination." - Booklist ?Cherry shows how the Torah functions as literature that is fluid, compelling, and persistently generative of new meanings.? ? Christian Century Every commentator, from the classical rabbi to the modern-day scholar, has brought his or her own worldview, with all of its assumptions, to bear on the reading of holy text. This relationship between the text itself and the reader's interpretation is the subject of Torah Through Time. Shai Cherry traces the development of Jewish Bible commentary through three pivotal periods in Jewish history: the rabbinic, medieval, and modern periods. The result is a fascinating and accessible guide to how some of the world's leading Jewish commentators read the Bible. Torah Through Time focuses on specific narrative sections of the Torah: the creation of humanity, the rivalry between Cain and Abel, Korah's rebellion, the claim of the daughters of Zelophechad, and legal matters concerning Hebrew slavery. Cherry closely examines several different commentaries for each of these source texts, and in so doing he analyzes how each commentator resolves questions raised by the texts and asks if and how the commentator's own historical frame of reference -- his own time and place -- contributes to the resolution. A chart at the end of each chapter provides a visual summary that helps the reader understand the many different elements at play.

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.
