Why the Return of Christ Is the Ultimate Happily Ever After
- A corrective to popular books and movies that have sensationalized the events of Revelation
- Experience the promise of the Second Coming as a source of comfort, hope, and clarity
- Discover how God intends to put all things right, end suffering, and execute justice for the wronged
After decades of our sensationalizing the events described in Revelation through popular book series and movies, in many Christian circles today discussions about the end times are rare. Yet the writers of the New Testament frequently wrote and taught about the return of Christ--not so much as a frightening time of turmoil and judgment but as the ultimate happily ever after.
Leaving behind fear and politicization, this pastoral exploration of the end times shows us why Christ's second coming is a source of comfort, hope, and clarity, especially for those who are suffering. Rather than fixating on tribulation and the antichrist, this exploration of Christ's return reveals how, in the end, there will be justice for the wronged, renewal for the broken, abundance for the famished, and rest for the weary. Most importantly, our faith will become sight.
For anyone who is looking for hope and reassurance about the second coming and the end times (or just hasn't seen how they're relevant to life today) this book offers biblical answers and encouragement that will have you praying, "Come, Lord Jesus."
