Neither Jesus nor his first disciples knew exactly when he would return, but not long after he left the earth, Jewish rabbis and the principal leaders of the Christian church discovered that the prophets had indeed revealed the answer, one which was widely known in the Christian church until at least the sixteenth century, and is now very close. The Date of Christ's Return is a serious study of Biblical prophecy from Genesis to Revelation. It demonstrates God's amazing timetable for human history, a timetable which is closely bound to the meaning and timing of the principal Jewish festivals. In accessible English, it answers questions such as:How much longer can planet Earth continue to support life as we know it, and what will happen after that? Why did Jesus and the writers of the New Testament expect that he would return within a generation? Will God, who is merciful and does not keep his anger forever, consign unbelievers to never-ending torment in hell? Where will believers in Jesus spend eternity - in heaven or on earth? Why did God take six days to create the world, and what was the hidden purpose of the Jewish feasts? When will Jesus return, and what should we be doing now to prepare for his coming? The Date of Christ's Return is the ultimate survival manual. It prepares us for the cataclysmic events that are shortly come upon the earth; it provides a way of escape guaranteed by the resurrection of Jesus Christ in AD 30; and it explains how to receive his promise of everlasting life in a recreated earth for everyone who dares to commit their life to him now as Lord.
