In the study of Bible prophecy, there is perhaps no passage more central to our understanding than the “70 weeks” prophecy of Daniel 9:20-27. As a roadmap for God’s future dealings with our world, this passage gives unparalleled insight into the work of God—both in the past and the future. This booklet carefully examines Daniel’s prophecy and answers important questions raised by the writings of this Old Testament prophet.
Central to the Christian faith is the belief that Jesus Christ rose from the dead. It’s the one event that brings us hope in a world of heartache and struggle, and it brings eternal significance to daily living. In this study from 1 Corinthians 15, we discover not only the wonderful evidence for the resurrection of Jesus but also the results of that resurrection for all who place their trust in Him.
There are few elements of the prophetic picture so sadly ignored as the Judgment Seat of Christ. This important study, taken from J. Oswald Sanders’ book Heaven: Better By Far, reminds us that we are accountable to God for the lives we live as Christians, and that we will either receive reward or suffer loss when we stand before Christ. No believer should live the Christian life without a clear understanding of this important teaching.
Can we know what heaven will be like? Who will be there and what will we do for all eternity? Does the Bible tell us what to expect? This booklet, written by Richard W. De Haan, examines what the Bible says about our eternal dwelling place—what it looks like, what its inhabitants will do there, and why it will be a place of unending joy for all who have placed their trust in the One who promised to prepare it for them.
When we read Old Testament prophecies about Jesus in their original setting, why do they often seem so obscure? Is it possible that skeptics of biblical prophecy are right when they claim that Christians read Jesus back into the Old Testament? Or is there a legitimate way of showing that He really is there? This booklet recognizes that messianic prophecy is not easy to understand, but that it is legitimately fulfilled in Jesus Christ—contrary to the arguments of the skeptics.
What are the real-life events that inspired the fictionalized account of “Indiana Jones And The Raiders Of The Lost Ark”? The real story of the ark and the temple Solomon built to house it is far more amazing than fiction. This booklet, written with the help of Jerusalem resident, journalist, and prophetic specialist Jimmy DeYoung, attempts to capture the unfolding story of a temple that will one day become the focus of our universe.
From evangelical pulpits to Hollywood movies, it seems that there is much opinion and speculation about the identity of the Antichrist. In the midst of all this speculation, however, we can turn to the Bible for truth that will help us sift through all the confusion. This booklet helps us by showing us what we can know—and what we can’t know—about the Antichrist.
Few issues raise as much concern in the hearts of people as the matter of the future of this planet. Should we live in fear of nuclear holocaust? Should we live as if there is no tomorrow? Thankfully, the God of eternity has given us clear, understandable teaching in the Bible that can shape our thinking about the future. This booklet offers help and hope to those who are concerned about what the future holds.
Where do we stand after 2,000 years of date-setting and false alarms? Should we throw in the towel on prophetic study in favor of “more practical, life-related issues”? Or, if we are convinced that nothing is more practical than to look for our Lord’s return, how should we do that? Should we be expecting Christ’s return at any moment? Or should we be more concerned about preparing for the coming years of great tribulation that the prophets predicted? This booklet answers these and other questions about the second coming of Christ.
Why did someone as good and as loving as Christ spend so much time warning about “the fire that shall never be quenched” and a place of “weeping and gnashing of teeth”? Why did He speak more about the flames of hell than He did about of the joys of heaven? The subject of hell is so sobering that many are more comfortable ignoring it. But there is no subject more deserving of our honest concern. This booklet examines what the Bible says about hell and encourages us to stop living as if there is no tomorrow for those who are lost.
