Comprehensive and Concise Primer on End Time Events
There are so many differing views and interpretations related to Biblical prophecy and the end times. Dr. Jones has provided a great service to the church by providing a clear, short, and very complete guide to the key Bible passages, definition of terms, key views, and the strengths and insights on four of the most popular views on the end times: Dispensational Premillennialism, Historical Premillennialism, Amillennialism, and Postmillennialism and objectively gives the answers the following questions for each view:
What does this view emphasize?
What does this view teach according to the main proponents (historically and modern) of the view?
What Scriptures are used to support this view?
When has this particular view been popular in church history?
Who are the most prominent Biblical Scholars (past and current) who hold to this particular view?
How does this particular view interpret the book of Revelation?
There is also a printable PDF available that charts each particular view, as well as a concluding section that answers how each of the four views answer the following crucial questions related to the end times:
Will Jesus return physically?
When will Jesus return?
Do the rapture and second coming occur at the same time?
Will there be a great tribulation?
Will Christians suffer during the tribulation?
Will there be a literal 1,000-year millennium?
Who is saved during the millennial period?
When was this particular view most held historically?
If you are looking for an objective, concise, and comprehensive overview of the end time views – this is a great place to start. I especially recommend this little booklet for people who have never studied “eschatology” (the study of the end times) before. It will be a good objective guide for you to see the “big picture” and then be able to hone in on more specific studies related to eschatology when you see the major players (scholars) that hole to the particular views, so you can do more study on your own.
