Could Jesus return at any time to establish his thousand-year reign on earth? This book seeks to answer this and other related questions. It lets you compare and contrast three important eschatological viewpoints to gain an understanding of how Christianity's great hope, the return of Jesus, is understood by the church.
Are these the last days? Could Jesus return at any time to establish his thousand-year reign on earth? What is the nature of Christ's millennial kingdom referred to in the "Book of Revelation"? What must happen before Jesus returns, and what part does the church play? Three predominant views held by evangelicals seek to answer these and related questions: premillennial, postmillennial, and amillennial. This book gives each view a forum for presentation, critique, and defense. Besides each contributor's personal perspective, various interpretations of the different positions are discussed in the essays. "Three Views on the Millennium and Beyond" lets you compare and contrast three important eschatological viewpoints to gain a better understanding of how Christianity's great hope, the return of Jesus, is understood by the church.
