At The Last Trumpet

The final book of the Bible, Revelation prophesies the ultimate judgement of mankind in a series of allegorical visions, grisly images and numerological predictions. According to these, empires will fall, the "Beast" will be destroyed and Christ will rule a new Jerusalem. With an introduction by Will Self.

WHERE WILL YOU BE WHEN THE LAST TRUMPET SOUNDS? Confused by Bible teachings about the end times? If so, you're not alone. The most important future event in the history of mankind-Jesus' return-is probably the least understood. Join author Robert Johnston as he cuts through the confusion and provides practical, simple answers to common questions. [ What must take place in our world before Jesus' return? [ When will the Antichrist appear on the world stage? [ What will happen when the seals are opened as described in the Book of Revelation? [ Will believers experience the great tribulation? Jesus' disciples asked him, "When shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?" (Matt. 24:3 KJV). Only God knows the day and hour when Jesus will return, yet his Word gives us signs to watch for so we can be ready. Using a detailed timeline, Johnston explains these signs in the context of world events and Old Testament prophecy. As events unfold, we see how God's plans for the Jewish nation and the Gentile nations will merge as we approach the long-anticipated day of the Lord. Are you ready?

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.

The End Times. The Day of Judgment. The Antichrist. These and other fascinating topics are the subject of the book, The Last Trumpet: A Comparative Study in Christian-Islamic Eschatology.

In this book, William Barclay addresses the end time passages from the New Testament to help inquirers better understand and appreciate their place in scripture. In characteristically lucid prose, Barclay engages each verse of pertinent scripture to both challenge and comfort the reader. The William Barclay Library is a collection of books addressing the great issues of the Christian faith. As one of the world's most widely read interpreters of the Bible and its meaning, William Barclay devoted his life to helping people become more faithful disciples of Jesus Christ.

Are you willing to momentarily set aside your view of the rapture and try to interpret scripture from a different perspective? Let's imagine you find yourself confused and in awe of an event that has recently occurred. There are reports of millions of people having instantaneously vanished. After considerable thought, you come to realize the truth in what many Christians were saying. They spoke of a time when God would translate to heaven all who acknowledged Jesus as the true Messiah and received him as their Savior. You also remember them speaking of a time of great trial that would befall those who did not understand the gospel of Jesus and also those who just flat-out rejected him. Deeply concerned that what they said just might be true, you decide to search the scriptures for the truth; in doing so, you discover what the future has in store for those who were left behind. "Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man" (Luke 21:36).
