THE VISIONS IN THIS BOOK were taken from Perry Stone's personal dream and vision journal, and he believes now is the time to tell them publicly.

Ryrie, compiler and author of the Ryrie Study Bible, clarifies diverse views on this complex topic. Using concise, Ryrie explores the key events that surround the last days from a pretribulation perspective.

The great Doctor of the Church and Benedictine monk Saint Anselm has assembled one of the greatest books ever written on heaven. Relying on his profound insights from prayer and his deep love for Sacred Scripture, Anselm systematically describes various aspects of the happiness of heaven: the beauty of the bodies of the blessed, the velocity of the glorified bodies of the saints in heaven, the strength of the blessed, the pleasures of heaven, and much more. At the same time, Saint Anselm does not shy away from the reality of hell and its unending torments.

Breaking the code of the book of Revelation has become an international obsession. Hank Hanegraaff, president and chairman of the Christian Research Institute, believes the result has been rampant misreading of Scripture, bad theology, and even bad politics and foreign policy. Hanegraaff argues that the key to understanding the last book of the Bible is the other 65 books of the Bible—not current events or recent history, and certainly not any complicated charts.

If any of us learned we were going to move to a foreign country, we'd do everything we could to learn about that place so that we'd be prepared when moving day arrived. As Christians, we know some day we will leave our familiar country and be united with God in heaven. And yet many of us know very little about this place called heaven.

The book of Revelation was written to do just that: reveal. In this commentary, Douglas Wilson provides a passage-by-passage walkthrough of the entire book, showing how John’s most notorious prophecies concern the Fall of Jerusalem in AD 70. Explaining symbols and characters as he goes, Wilson shows from the text that not only is this book not an elaborate code, but that Revelation is not even ultimately concerned with the end of the world as we know it. Revelation is about the triumph of the Church, which always happens when the Man comes around.

The reality of God’s ultimate punishment is central to the gospel. Only by facing sin’s devastation can believers fully grasp the beauty of their salvation and help unbelievers confront their need for forgiveness. Unfortunately, many Christians and Bible scholars neglect God’s final judgment. In his book The Justice and Goodness of God, theologian Thomas Schreiner offers a comprehensive biblical analysis of eternal destruction.

For many Christians, the end of the millennium represents the time of Christ's Second Coming, which will usher in a "new heaven and a new earth." Of course, there are as many interpretations of the book of Revelation as there are Christians. With his characteristic humor and relaxed style, popular author Lucado Just Like Jesus offers a brief survey of the various opinions related to the Second Coming.

Christ is risen, and Christ will come again. That is the hope that fueled the lives of Jesus' disciples and the momentum of the early church. The hope of seeing their risen Lord face-to-face powered their endurance through persecution, their patience in discipling new believers, and their courage to renounce injustice and sinful passions. Pastor Chris Davis will help you see the Second Coming in a fresh way that recaptures your spiritual imagination, strengthens your discipleship, and recovers your theology from the confusion and controversy caused by end-times studies.

It is important to note that the entirety of the Bible describes the antichrist as a wonderful, incredible man. He will be a peacemaker, a financial genius, a political genius, he will unite the world. He will make a seven-year peace treaty with Israel and many nations. He will facilitate the building of the Third Temple on the Temple Mount at Jerusalem. It's not until after three and a half years that he enters the Temple, and the false prophet proclaims the antichrist as God. All the world will be commanded to worship him. An assassination attempt will be made on his life, and he will die...

Revelation chapter 6 clearly says that God's wrath begins at some point after the midpoint of the Tribulation. That means Christians will be here for the first four or five years. In Wrath, the first in a three-book series, D. R. Roquemore follows a fictional family in Texas who discovers the truth about the Rapture. Their story begins a few months before the start of the Tribulation period and follows their attempts to survive the rise of the Antichrist and the subsequent wars and famines.

Jesus made a striking promise: the end times and his second coming would occur within the lifetime of his disciples. Matthew 24:34 (Weymouth New Testament) I tell you in solemn truth that the present generation will certainly not pass away without all these things having first taken place. But what exactly was promised to happen within that generation? Could this verse have been mistranslated or misunderstood? Did Jesus revise his plan, or was he simply mistaken about the timing of his return? Seeking a meaningful answer to these questions, the author confronts a challenging and provocative...

Daniel was instructed to conceal the words and seal up his book until the end times (Dan 12:4). In the spiritual realm, I imagine he placed the Book of Daniel in a sealed jar, and it has laid dusty in a corner of heaven for 2500 years. But what if God has just broken open the jar? Should we re-examine all of our favorite prophecies anew now that Daniel is unsealed? I think the answer is a resounding, YES! Using sound biblical exegesis, we uncover the shocking identity of the Beast Kingdom, the countries that make up the Ten Horns of the Beast, why Time, Times, and half a Time is divided ...

Although this is a small book, yet it presents you with matters of the greatest and most weighty concern, even with a discourse of life and death to eternity. It reveals and clarifies, by the Scriptures of God, that the time is at hand when there will be a resurrection of the dead, both of the just and unjust – even of the bodies of both, from the graves where they are, or will be, at the start of that day.
