Earthquakes, floods, forest fires, famine, pestilence, disease, volcanos, tsunamis, terrorism, violence, economic uncertainty, racial and ethnic turmoil, war - What does it all mean? What is the earth coming to? People are afraid and wondering what the future might hold. It seems there is no security anymore. Upon finishing this book, the reader will have the inside story regarding what the future really holds for mankind. Some of life's most pressing questions will be answered such as: "What happens when you die?" "Will the inhabitants of this earth annihilate themselves?" "Will the earth end with a bang or a whimper?" "Is there any hope for a brighter future?" This book is written from a unique perspective - the perspective of a layman who has been fascinated with Biblical prophecy for years. All the points made are amply supported from Scripture alone. His desire is to share a different viewpoint which will awaken readers to study and think for themselves. In years gone by many people put their hope and confidence in God, but it seems now in the public square no one even thinks or cares about God. But, awake! God is still in control and He knows the end from the beginning! He created this earth, and He has not just left it to run on its own. He is intimately concerned about everything that happens, and He has grand plans for it. Read this book and find out what they are! The book recounts the great themes of the Bible - themes of faith, the nature of God and the Trinity, Christ in the Old Testament, Christ's atoning sacrifice on the cross and His resurrection bringing the promise of salvation to all mankind. Difficult subjects are addressed such as what happens when a person dies and the Antichrist, as well as the signs of the end of the world, the final judgments of God on unrepentant humanity as vividly portrayed in Revelation, and the last great battle when Jesus Christ is victorious over the Devil. See how the prophecies of Daniel, Ezekiel, Joel and Zechariah in the Old Testament dovetail perfectly with what Christ foretold and what John was shown in Revelation. The prophecies of the end of the age are more exciting than any thriller developed for TV or movies! Extremely difficult times are coming! This book will teach the reader how to survive the times of tribulation. Learn how a loving God will bring destruction upon the inhabitants of the earth. He has been pleading for millennia for His creatures to commit themselves to Him but they would not. Evil has increased to the point where God, in His mercy must also display His justice and vengeance and bring an end to it all. It is a "strange act" for this God of love, but He has no choice. The inhabitants of earth have not only been destroying themselves, but they have destroyed the earth. God must intervene according to His appointed time which is coming soon! He can no longer bear to see His creation suffering. The destruction on earth is not the end of the story. The world will not just be destroyed and forgotten. There is wonderful hope and good news! Evil will not have the last word! God will have it! King Jesus, the Messiah, is coming back to this earth again, not as a tiny, helpless baby, but as a warrior King. He will rule and His believers will reign with Him for eternity. There will be new heavens and a new earth more glorious than anyone could ever imagine. There will be no more death, sorrow, pain or crying. Are you prepared for His coming?

The events that occur in the book of Job present readers with a profound question: "Why do the righteous suffer?" Although a direct answer to this question seems important, the book of Job does not set forth such a response. Job never learned the reasons for his suffering. In fact, when God finally confronted Job, he could only put his hand over his mouth and say nothing. His silence underscores the importance of trusting God's purposes in the midst of suffering, because suffering—like all other human experiences—is directed by perfect divine wisdom. In this study, pastor John MacArthur will guide you through an in-depth look at the defining themes and interpretative challenges in Job. Studies include close-up examinations of doctrinal themes such as God's Justice and "A Discourse on Human Frailty." —ABOUT THE SERIES— The MacArthur Bible Study series is designed to help you study the Word of God with guidance from widely respected pastor and author John MacArthur.

Pastor Brian Zahnd began "to question the theology of a wrathful God who delights in punishing sinners, and has started to explore the real nature of Jesus and His Father. The book isn’t only an interesting look at the context of some modern theological ideas; it’s also offers some profound insight into God’s love and eternal plan." —Relevant Magazine (Named one of the Top 10 Books of 2017) God is wrath? Or God is Love? In his famous sermon “Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God,” Puritan revivalist Jonathan Edwards shaped predominating American theology with a vision of God as angry, violent, and retributive. Three centuries later, Brian Zahnd was both mesmerized and terrified by Edwards’s wrathful God. Haunted by fear that crippled his relationship with God, Zahnd spent years praying for a divine experience of hell. What Zahnd experienced instead was the Father’s love—revealed perfectly through Jesus Christ—for all prodigal sons and daughters. In Sinners in the Hands of a Loving God, Zahnd asks important questions like: Is seeing God primarily as wrathful towards sinners true or biblical? Is fearing God a normal expected behavior? And where might the natural implications of this theological framework lead us? Thoughtfully wrestling with subjects like Old Testament genocide, the crucifixion of Jesus, eternal punishment in hell, and the final judgment in Revelation, Zanhd maintains that the summit of divine revelation for sinners is not God is wrath, but God is love.

The impact of The Late Great Planet Earth cannot be overstated. The New York Times called it the "no. 1 non-fiction bestseller of the decade." For Christians and non-Christians of the 1970s, Hal Lindsey's blockbuster served as a wake-up call on events soon to come and events already unfolding -- all leading up to the greatest event of all: the return of Jesus Christ. The years since have confirmed Lindsey's insights into what biblical prophecy says about the times we live in. Whether you're a church-going believer or someone who wouldn't darken the door of a Christian institution, the Bible has much to tell you about the imminent future of this planet. In the midst of an out-of-control generation, it reveals a grand design that's unfolding exactly according to plan. The rebirth of Israel. The threat of war in the Middle East. An increase in natural catastrophes. The revival of Satanism and witchcraft. These and other signs, foreseen by prophets from Moses to Jesus, portend the coming of an antichrist . . . of a war which will bring humanity to the brink of destruction . . . and of incredible deliverance for a desperate, dying planet.
