The Future Of Jesus Christ

Advent, says Fleming Rutledge, is not for the faint of heart. As the midnight of the Christian year, the season of Advent is rife with dark, gritty realities. In this book, with her trademark wit and wisdom, Rutledge explores Advent as a time of rich paradoxes, a season celebrating at once Christ’s incarnation and his second coming, and she masterfully unfolds the ethical and future-oriented significance of Advent for the church.

Writing from the perspective that the coming of God's kingdom is both present and future, Hoekema covers the full range of eschatological topics in this comprehensive biblical exposition. The two major sections of the book deal with inaugurated eschatology (the "already") and future eschatology (the "not yet"). Detailed appendix, bibliography, and indexes.

The kingdom of God is not explained anywhere in the New Testament, yet it seems to be everywhere understood. No explanation was ever needed, and so none was given. In The Future Kingdom of God: A Present Reality and Our Blessed Hope, author Father Steven Scherrer presents an in-depth study of the kingdom of God as it appears in the scriptures. Based on an edited collection of original sermons and essays revolving around the New Testament doctrine of the kingdom of God, this thorough discussion provides a guide for those seeking insight into various aspects about the second coming of Jesus Christ. Some of the topics on which the essays reflect include the splendor of the kingdom of God now present, as seen in the Churchs Advent and Christmas liturgies; the millennial hope as the fulfillment of Old Testament prophecy; the enchanted expectation of the Parousia, as seen in the Churchs autumn liturgies; the longing to be found innocent in holiness at the coming of the Lord. Using the scriptures and examples from the Bible, The Future Kingdom of God demonstrates how Christians can, by faith, now live in the splendor of Gods kingdom present in their midst.

Jesus of the Future is a novel presenting a totally different option for stories about God and Jesus; it takes you through a "fictional creation" and several well know Bible stories. Each provides a different view from what you find in the Holy Bible, but with a somewhat same conclusion; there is an extensive disclaimer that acknowledges the Holy Bible as true and that no part of the novel is to take the place of the actual Word of God, as is in the Holy Bible. There is an extraterrestrial portion, in which a human man and a visitor from another world become friends; from this comes the ability to create the first and totally genetically artificial life-form, which becomes Jesus. Another section describes how Jesus is born, is raised, lives and dies; it offers a continuous message of salvation. Again it presents a totally different way for Jesus to have lived; even so, He does die for the sins of mankind by crucifixion, and the final part tells of the return and promise of everlasting life. This work of fiction provides direct, firm, clear direction for becoming a born-again Christian. There is a very clear message on the promised return of Jesus Christ. This is the first of a planned series. The second volume will be titled The Book of Short Stories and will tell how God worked in the lives of different people.

summarizes the Bible's teaching about the last things. The Christ-centred nature of the biblical teaching on the future is the main emphasis throughout, as the author shows us the future of the individual, the church, and, indeed the whole universe.

This book is primarily for the Christian, but anyone who reads its pages will be enriched by its content. All should understand the full and complete gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ. The Christian's hope, when fully understood, is the greatest promise ever given to any being in all of God's creation. When the good news is revealed, it gives the believer what I call "hold-on power." Hold-on power is what the Christian receives when the Holy Spirit makes known in his or her being that everything in the gospel is true and, therefore, worthy of holding on to. The truths written in this book do just that-and also for all non-Christian readers. You will find a Christian perspective on aliens, UFOs, and whether there is life on other planets. Was there life on earth before the emergence of man? Where do demons come from, and did God make them? What is the future for all of creation? These and many, many more questions will be addressed by this revelation; but most importantly, the reader will learn what happens in the universe when all who are going to heaven are admitted, and the kingdom of God is instituted. It is my hope that all who read will understand the full scope of the unsearchable riches of Christ and, just like me, repent and receive the Lord Jesus Christ and this wonderful hope.

This book will give the reader a much better understanding of what God has planned for this world’s future. Prior to Tribulation, the Church (the believers in Jesus Christ) will be caught up, raptured, and will meet the Lord in the air. Much of what is written in numerous books of the Bible that deal with prophecy is written in symbolic language, often making it difficult to understand. One purpose of this book is to reveal and explain to the reader what is meant by those symbols, thereby giving the reader a glimpse and a better understanding of what the future holds. Additionally, when dealing with a specific subject such as an event that was prophesied in the book of Revelation, often, that subject is covered in other verses of that book and/or in other books within the Bible. The comparing of scripture with scripture supports, sheds light, explains, and/or reinforces our understanding of that particular passage. Following the Tribulation is the Millennium, the one-thousand-year reign with Christ.
