Throughout the ages, various celestial and non-celestial phenomena have featured images portraying the nearness of the end of days or, in the New Testament, the Parousiawhich means the appearance of the second coming of Jesus. Many of these images and concepts are often misunderstood or misapplied. A primary purpose of this book is to correct the errant concepts believed to be true by many people because incorrect doctrine and teaching can have disastrous results. Many people today believe we are living in tumultuous times. However, to set or fix a precise date for the return of Jesus is unbiblical. This book will present a completely different view than what is commonly believed about the end times. By blending the concepts of many schools of thought and outright challenging others, the goal of this book is to help people understand the variety of views on the topic. In short, this book should be read first and then compared with what others are teaching and saying.

This book is translated through AI translator. Hello, I\'m Shalom Min, the servant of Christ The essence of our faith. These days, the beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ is considered more brilliant and precious. The world is running faster towards the end. The division is further tarnishing and degenerating the gospel as if it had sensed its end was near, and spreading constant temptation so that Jesus\' gospel could never be engraved on its heart. At a time like this, when it is not enough to love only you, you must be more awake so that you will not be distant from you or lose your love for the first time. Even those who believe in Jesus can fall at any time, so they must be more deeply rooted in the gospel. This book is the property of faith and the confession of faith that I wrote while struggling to protect my faith when I was in the army. The reason why I re-edited it and published it again was to reflect on the nature of my faith and to wake up many people and to convey the full gospel, I planned and practiced it with the impression of the Holy Spirit. Dear brothers and sisters in Christ Jesus, I sincerely hope that this small book will convey the great love of the Lord, how much he loves you, how much he wants, how much he waits, and how much he longs for you. Listen to the voice of the Lord who calls us. In response to the invitation of the Lord, who invites us with that eternal love and leads us from glory to glory, let us all go before the Lord and before the gospel again! Then I\'ll meet you in heaven!

One of the fundamental presuppositions of the theology of the Old Testament is the coming of God to establish the kingdom and to vindicate God's people, Israel. This metaphor receives ample and diverse treatment in the Hebrew Bible, ranging from beliefs in a temporal, earthly kingdom to a supra-temporal, heavenly kingdom. In the New Testament, this idea informs the early church's belief in a future coming of Christ at the end of the age to save and to judge and to usher in God's reign. This book attempts to analyze three different rereadings of this concept in the writings of the New Testament: the letters of Paul, the Gospel of Mark, and the second letter of Peter.

All of Scripture testifies to the person of Jesus, yet the Gospels offer a face-to-face encounter. This newly revised third edition of Jesus and the Gospels prepares readers for an in-depth exploration of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. Esteemed New Testament scholar Craig Blomberg considers the Gospels’ historical context while examining fresh scholarship, critical methods, and contemporary applications for today. Along with updated introductions, maps, and diagrams, Blomberg’s linguistic, historical, and theological approach delivers a deep investigation into the Gospels for professors, students, and pastors alike.

The Bible Studies I chose to do came in answer to the request of my first congregation out of seminary. I consistently sought to present a serious, somewhat scholarly approach to the interested among my parishioners. I would take a book in the bible to study, assume it was written or edited to be read from the beginning and make sense to the reader in that format. I attempted to discover for myself and my group what the book sought to convey. In this volume, the study of Galatians (1981) and 1 Thessalonians (1989) followed that pattern exactly. The Pastoral Epistles (1989) treated the three letters both separately and as an extended effort by their author.

"The English translation at the beginning of each section is France's own, designed to provide the basis for the commentary. This adept translation uses contemporary idioms and, where necessary, gives priority to clarity over literary elegance." -- BOOK JACKET.

Interdisciplinary dialogue with contemporary sciences question the coherence and plausibility of many traditional Christological formulations. This book attempts to show that engaging in this interdisciplinary endeavour is both possible and promising.
