Showing titles in Christian Eschatology

This Ragtown Pulpit sermon is about the second Psalm, and its place in the hearts and minds of believers. Specifically, the dilemma concerning Psalm 2 is this: Why don't believers love it more than they do? It literally has everything you'd think a Christian would want in a very short passage. Christ himself is all over and throughout this Old Testament text. It's filled with promises of God's faithfulness and the victory of Christ's kingdom. Nevertheless, you've probably never heard anyone, anywhere, claim it as their favorite. That's just weird. There are reasons for this. This sermon ...

Both believers and unbelievers have found the end of the world as we know it to be a fascinating topic. The Mayans predicted the end of the world in 2012, and many Christian authors have confidently predicted the future based on their interpretation of the scriptures only to be overtaken by actual events. "How It All Ends" is a collection of chapters from the book "Solid Ground" that explores what we can and can't know from the Bible about the end of the world. Mr. Clay explores the topic of the end of the world with humility where the Bible isn't clear and with confidence in those areas ...

Ric Machuga argues on biblical, historical, and theological grounds that universal salvation is necessary for a coherent proclamation of the Gospel. A creation in which some people suffer unending torment because God either can’t or won’t bring them to repentance is not good news. This last sentence is sure to provoke protest: “But what about free will?” Machuga responds by exposing modern assumptions.

Kenneth Myers offers a sensible, biblical, and historic alternative to the sensationalism of our day. Eye-opening, engaging and easy to read, this book replaces pessimism with optimism and dread with anticipation.

What if I told you that the reason every single end-of-the-world prediction fails is because the world is not about to end? And what if I told you that the world is not getting worse, but it’s actually getting better? Usually when we hear the words "end-times", we think of worldwide tribulation, wars, and rumors of wars, earthquakes, the antichrist rising, and the church being taken off the earth while the unrighteous are left behind. That's what J.A. was taught growing up in a small country church in Arkansas, and is the belief system behind the wildly successful Left Behind series. But what if the Bible has a very different story to tell?

While it appears as if everyone—from evangelical preachers to radical environmentalists—expects the end of the world to come very soon in a quite dreadful and dramatic fashion, the Scriptures give us a view of the future that is altogether hopeful and optimistic. In this audiobook, a former premillennial dispensationalist explores the origins of these modern doctrines of pessimism, and points the listener to find in the Bible a much happier outlook regarding the success of the gospel and the growth of Christ's kingdom.

Discover how to become part of a Church that counters anger with kindness and mercy, loves its enemies, overcomes bitterness and offense, and lays hold of the Lord's beauty via revelation and transformation.

Are the Old Testament's messianic-era prophecies fulfilled in the church? Yes! Are these same prophecies fulfilled in Israel? Yes! The church does not completely "replace" Israel. How can this be? Because Israel fulfills these prophecies literally, and the church fulfills them spiritually (figuratively). Throughout her long history, the church has generally assumed that these prophecies describe the final, immortal, blessed ("saved") state, and thus can only be spiritually fulfilled in the church.

The book of Revelation was meant to be read, understood, and obeyed by Christians the world over, not shrouded in mystery. However, in these last days of apostasy, the truth has been forgotten, covered up, and replaced by a lie.

The book of Revelation is the most mysterious and controversial book of the Bible. Yet, God intended that Christians be enriched by its enduring message. Even though Revelation has a blessing for those who read it, many believers still avoid this inspired book.

In this first volume of The End Time Apologetics Series, the author challenges the pretribulation rapture position and uncovers how many Christians may not be prepared for prophetic events to come. Although many promote pretrib as a fact, ...

Does the Bible tell us about the origins of these legends? Who are the Nephilim of the Bible? This is a source of great controversy amongst Bible scholars and Bible enthusiasts.

What will happen in the days ahead? Will the coming years be better or worse than those we have left behind? What does the future hold for our families, our nations, and our planet? These are questions that every person on earth asks at one time or another. Horoscopes, soothsayers, palm-readers, and fortune-tellers are those the secular world turns to in order to have their questions of the future answered.
