The purpose of the seven years of tribulation is to awaken the Jewish people as to their true Messiah. Since the Jews rejected Jesus as their Messiah (Savior); Romans 11:7, 8 says, "God has caused them to have a spirit of slumber. Israel needs to be awakened, so they can realize that their true Messiah is Jesus Christ;The Awesome Untold Story is divided into two parts.PART ONEThe first 3 ¿ years of the 7 years of tribulation is not the wrath of God, but the wrath of the antichrist, against all who oppose his One World Order. A system designed to exalt Satan through his right-hand man, the antichrist. He will be a counterfeit to Jesus Christ, "King of Kings, and Lord of Lords." Part one is about Satan trying to bring God down to his level, by thwarting God's promises to the Jewish people.PART TWOThe second 3 ¿ years of the great tribulation will be God pouring out His wrath on the kingdoms of the antichrist. God will systematically disassemble the One World Order that the antichrist will set up during the first 3 ¿ years. All true believerswill have been removed from harm's way, via the rapture, before God's wrath begins in the second 3 ¿ years of tribulation.At the end of the 7 years of tribulation is the battle of Armageddon; when Jesus will return to rescue the 144,000 Jews who were hiding from the antichrist's military forces.Then Jesus will establish a peaceful earthly kingdom for 1000 years. Satan will be bound during that time.The last three chapters will reveal some insightful information about the 1000-year millennial reign of Christ, the Great White Throne Judgment, the New Heaven, New Earth, and New Jerusalem where the saints of God will live forever.

Lampstands, horsemen, beasts, locusts, and angels-the book of Revelation is filled with these images and more. How does anyone make sense of all this?

"This is a wonderful tour guide that points us to the beauty, truth and relevance of Jesus. It is a precious resource that allows us to stand back and gaze across the Gospels at the miracles of Jesus and the perfect, sinless and suffering-free future kingdom to which they point. I pray this book brings much delight in Jesus and puts spiritual wind in your sails." Andy Pearce Senior Minister - Rockingham Anglican ChurchThroughout history, Jesus' miracles have had a seductive pull on the human psyche. But what miracles did Jesus perform? How was He able to do so? Where did His power come from? Why did He perform them anyway? Why did His miraculous wonders create such intense controversy among the Jews? How are Jesus' miracles relevant for us today?Those who take the time to work through the 42, two-page studies, will find answers not only to these questions, but discover so much more about the amazing occurrences that are The Miracles of Jesus.

This new book from Austin Busch traces the literary dynamics and explores the theological dimensions of the Gospel of Mark's thematization of skepticism regarding resurrection. In every place where it seems to depict resurrection-Jesus's and others'-Mark evades the issue of whether resurrection actually occurs. Busch argues that, despite Mark's ambiguous and abbreviated conclusion, this gospel does not downplay resurrection but rather foregrounds it, imagining Jesus's death and restoration to life as a divine plot to overcome Satan through cunning deception. Risen Indeed? constitutes a careful literary reading of Mark's Gospel, as well as an assessment of Mark's impact on the traditions of Christian literature and theology that emerged in its wake.

How does one make sense of the life and teaching of Jesus? He describes a kingdom that is perfect and which he rules as king. His kingdom is still coming, yet we begin to live as its citizens now. He asks us to live like him. But how is that possible? Jesus did miracles routinely. He said he actually was God. He often faced deadly peril with perfect calmness, and at times he was fully aware of what was in other people's minds. How can I live like that? It is this challenging, frustrating, marvelous, troubling, mind-blowing life and teaching of Jesus that we find in the gospel record, and that I have tried to make clear in these pages.

This book is an introductory guide to the ways Jesus is depicted in the New Testament. This is an exploration of what New Testament authors want to say with inklings about why they have written.

Incarcerated numerous times "for the defense of the gospel" (Phil 1:16), Paul wrote several letters from the confines of prison. Letters from Prison, Part One explores the letters of Philippians and Philemon in four sessions, explaining the reason each letter was written and addressing various themes such as joy, unity in Christ, reconciliation, and the close relationship between Paul and his communities.

The Master's Indwelling is a profound work pointing to a path to the fundamental steps in the Christian walk. In The Master's Indwelling Andrew Murray addresses vital points pertaining to carnal nature, humility, the self, what it means to deny the flesh, joy and faith in the life of a Christian and more. "If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me. Matt." 16: 4 Andrew Murray was a South African writer, teacher, and Christian pastor. Murray considered missions to be "the chief end of the church." He was one of the founders of the South African General Mission (SAGM) later becoming the Africa Evangelical Fellowship (AEF) in 1965.

Pablo desarrolla el tema de la santidad a partir de la revelacion de Dios en el Antiguo Testamento. Su variada terminologia describe la santidad que compete al pueblo de Dios. Dios espera que su pueblo sea integro porque le ha dado su Espiritu Santo para que viva cristiana y ejemplarmente en este mundo presente y en preparacion para el venidero. Al igual que Pablo, los creyentes deben anhelar la parusia y orar por la santidad de sus vidas, sabiendo que no es un solamente un estado justificado, sino una etica practica.
