Stephens # of Copies: 1 Description: Chapter 1 presents the basic issues involved in the debate, such as what millennium means. Then the chapter overviews the four views most prevalent today: amillennialism, postmillennialism, historical premillennialism, and dispensational premillennialism, the latter being the view making most of the pronouncements and proclaimed most by television personalities. In this chapter, you'll learn the basics. Chapter 2, "Jesus and the Second Coming," discusses some Old Testament prophecies about the coming of the Messiah and the end times and discusses how prophets rarely separated the two matters. It continues with Jesus' teachings about His first and second comings and deals with the meaning of "kingdom." Chapter 3 considers the place of the church in both the "present end time" and what that term means. Is the church the New Israel? How do the chapters of Revelation 5--7 and 12 relate to the present and/or to the future in regard to the church? What is God's plan for the church in the end times? Chapter 4 continues with the church's role in end times and then deals with Israel's role in prophecy, the Antichrist, and the Great Tribulation. Will Christians go through it or not? (How true are the series of books by Tim LeHaye and Jerry Jenkins?) Chapter 5 considers the final judgments described in Revelation and other places: the "day of the Lord," the battle of Armageddon, and God's judgment on Babylon. Chapter 6, "When Christ Shall Come With Trumpet Sound," celebrates the literal return of the Lord and discusses issues related to it. Can we know the time or approximate time? Why should there be a millennial kingdom? What purpose could it serve? What about the great judgments at the end of time such as the Great White Throne Judgment? Chapter 7 deals with eternal destiny, heaven and hell, and what God expects of Christians now in this time.
