For the Time Is Near: Revelation of Jesus Christ Concerning Last Days

The book of Revelation has often been treated as something too difficult, too frightening, or too complicated for the average believer to understand. Yet God gave this book to His servants so they could know what lies ahead, remain faithful under pressure, and live with confidence in the promised return of Jesus Christ.For the Time Is Near is a complete, verse-by-verse exposition of the book of Revelation written in a clear, pastoral, and approachable style. Beginning with John's vision of the risen Christ and continuing through the messages to the seven churches, the Tribulation, the rise of the Antichrist, the return of Christ, the thousand-year kingdom, the final judgment, and the new heaven and new earth, this book walks carefully through the entire prophetic message.Readers will gain a clearer understanding of: The seven churches and what Christ still says to His church todayThe rapture and the major views concerning its timingDaniel's seventieth week and the coming TribulationThe seals, trumpets, and bowls of judgmentThe Antichrist, false prophet, mark of the beast, and Mystery BabylonThe role of Israel in biblical prophecyThe Second Coming and the thousand-year reign of ChristThe great white throne judgmentThe New Jerusalem, river of life, and eternal hope of the redeemedWritten from a futurist, premillennial, and pre-tribulational perspective, this book explains difficult passages while acknowledging the major interpretive views held by sincere Christians. It avoids sensational predictions and date-setting, choosing instead to remain grounded in Scripture and centered upon Jesus Christ.Revelation is more than a timeline of future events. It is a call to worship, repentance, endurance, discernment, holiness, and hope. It reminds believers that God remains on the throne, evil will be judged, Christ will return, and those who belong to Him have a future that cannot be taken away.The time is near. The King is coming. The question is whether we are ready."Amen. Come, Lord Jesus."
