The rapture is the central event in biblical prophecy. But what does it mean for us today? How can this crucial end times event draw us nearer to God in a world that is seemingly on the brink of chaos? Political turmoil, economic uncertainty, an ideological divide that feels increasingly impassable—the signs of the times point us toward the end, and that can be disconcerting.

The Bible’s last book is God’s final word to mankind—and the breathtaking revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ. Though this letter describes depravity, devils, and destruction, it also provides an incredible portrait of our almighty God, delivering profound insights into who he really is. God’s Grand Finale examines the thirteen characteristics of God that Revelation uniquely and vividly illustrates through its foretelling of earth’s last days.

As local and international events and news reports become more troubling, interest in Bible prophecy continues to grow. Cultural anxiety is reaching unprecedented highs, and many Christians have begun to wonder if the tribulation described in Revelation is already upon us. Bestselling author and native Israeli Amir Tsarfati explores what will happen during the tribulation and explains its place on the eternity-to-eternity timeline.

If you are daunted by Revelation’s complexity or confused by its claims, Reversed Thunder brings one of the most difficult-to-understand texts in the Bible into clear view. Eugene Peterson’s eloquent meditation takes a Jesus-centered lens to Saint John’s futuristic vision, in a grounded reading that engages the spiritual imagination, awakens hope for the future, and interprets the truth of these last words on scripture, Christ, church, worship, evil, prayer, salvation, and heaven.

When the disciples asked Jesus how to anticipate His return, He gave a remarkably detailed answer. The disciples could not wait. Christ had said He would bring an end to human rule and establish His kingdom. But when? Eager to learn how the future would unfold, they asked Him about the signs of His coming and the end times. What should they expect to take place? In The Time of the Signs, pastor Barry Stagner explores the events that will precede Christ’s return.

Many people today cast doubt on the promises God gives his church in Bible prophecy, as predicted by Scripture itself: “Scoffers will come in the last days with scoffing, following their own sinful desires. They will say, ‘Where is the promise of his coming?’” (2 Peter 3:3-4). Bible Prophecy Under Siege provides a thorough survey of the misunderstandings and misguided thinking people sometimes have about the last days.

Like never before, we have a sacred trust to offer hope and reach the lost. The world needs Jesus, and the saints need to be equipped with prophetic answers straight from Scripture. This is the heart behind what might be the most significant outreach I have ever launched.

For the last 2,000 years, the book of Revelation has given courage—not fear—to Christians around the world. In this 8-session audio Bible study, bestselling author and pastor Matt Chandler will explore the book of Revelation and what it's teaching us about the days we live in now, about the body of believers, and about Christ, our King.

In this writing I will demonstrate that the scriptures emphatically teach a contingent of angels called “Holy Watchers” decided to have offspring with human women and knowingly commit this great abomination of sin toward the Most High. The Sons of God and the Divine Council mentioned in the Bible are these same “Holy Watchers” (a position of angelic authority) mentioned in Enoch and Jasher and in Genesis 6 that not only conceived children with human women but also gave mankind knowledge, technologies, and weapons.

While it appears as if everyone—from evangelical preachers to radical environmentalists—expects the end of the world to come very soon in a quite dreadful and dramatic fashion, the Scriptures give us a view of the future that is altogether hopeful and optimistic. In this audiobook, a former premillennial dispensationalist explores the origins of these modern doctrines of pessimism, and points the listener to find in the Bible a much happier outlook regarding the success of the gospel and the growth of Christ's kingdom.

For most of my life I have been telling Bible stories to children. I’ve told the historical accounts of God’s people and the miracles the LORD worked time and time again. I love God’s Word. I love each and every historical account. I could tell them all day long and in my sleep! They are the most riveting and inspiring stories ever…and most importantly, they are the foundation of our confidence of the Lord’s sovereignty, his great power, and his great love for humanity.

This book is written to Christians as a series of letters addressed to Theophilus—One Who Loves God. It provides information most likely never heard by many Christians. The author holds to the belief the Bible–the Word of God–is the sole authority for Christians and the only source of absolute truth. Understanding the Bible in general and the end times in particular is important for all Christians. There are different ways in which the Bible can be interpreted, but which one is correct? One only has to look at the diversity of churches to know this is true.

Everlasting hell and divine judgment, a lake of fire and brimstone—these mainstays of evangelical tradition have come under fire once again in recent decades. Would the God of love revealed by Jesus really consign the vast majority of humankind to a destiny of eternal, conscious torment? Is divine mercy bound by the demands of justice? How can anyone presume to know who is saved from the flames and who is not?

Something is terribly wrong in the world—we all feel it. The elite controlling our society commit heinous crimes with no punishment while Christians silently await a rescue rapture. Most in the Church expect increasing cultural demise before we escape. However, through His prophets of old, God already showed us what would happen—we just got the ending wrong. This book presents compelling, yet provocative evidence that Christians fail to discern the times, leading to unfulfilled destinies and needless fear-based paralysis.

Some 4000 years ago a being stepped out from behind reality and spoke to a man called Abraham. Abraham was told he would receive a land and a "seed" (many offspring) who would someday bring a special blessing for every family on earth. The blessing would come near the end of this present world. This is Zion's Promise. This book is for Christians who want to understand the Bible's deepest message. This book is for Jews who want to understand Zion. This book is for everyone who is searching for the truth of why they were born in the first place.

In the days we live in, we need to understand not only what is happening now, but also what events are to come in the future. Revelation Unlocked will take you through the Biblical book of Revelation one chapter at a time, unlocking some of the mysteries inside of this apocalyptic vision.

Almost 2,000 years ago, the apostle John received a revelation of Jesus Christ, while abandoned on the Isle of Patmos. Imagine all he saw and endured: from his time with Christ, through the formation of the early church, until the Revelation. In a moment, he is brought into the realm of heaven to see, perceive, and receive understanding for himself and his day. His revelation still speaks to us!

Are the Old Testament's messianic-era prophecies fulfilled in the church? Yes! Are these same prophecies fulfilled in Israel? Yes! The church does not completely "replace" Israel. How can this be? Because Israel fulfills these prophecies literally, and the church fulfills them spiritually (figuratively). Throughout her long history, the church has generally assumed that these prophecies describe the final, immortal, blessed ("saved") state, and thus can only be spiritually fulfilled in the church.

What does the future hold? Will faithful Christians face persecution? How can I be sure to stand strong during these troubled times? The book of Revelation was written for those going through difficult times. The first readers of this biblical book were experiencing a wave of persecution in the Roman world. To follow the Christian faith was to experience opposition. Renowned Bible teacher and prophecy expert Dr. Michael Youssef believes twenty-first century Christians are experiencing a similar wave of hostility in our culture.

Is a life-threatening illness, a major life change, or just plain old age forcing you to face your own mortality? Probably, like most of us, you'd rather not think or talk about your own death. But ignoring your death won't stop it from happening—the mortality rate is still 100%!

Revival pundits will share all their ideas about how you might experience a spiritual awakening. That might inspire a temporary revival that fizzles out.

What does the future look like for you and your kids? But then there are experienced voices that mobilize believers. They carry a prophetic edge and anointing.

What do you think of when you think about the book of Revelation? Prophecy, apocalypse, rapture? Revelation rarely shows up in the pulpits of mainline Christian churches, and many progressives feel as if Revelation is only for "the end is near" apocalyptics or Christian Nationalists and QAnon theorists. But the book of Revelation offers so much more if we're willing to crack it open in new ways. The End Is the Beginning cuts through the echo chamber of rapture-haunted apocalyptic anxiety with a clear picture of God's persistent love for all that was, and is, and will be.

Sir Isaac Newton is well known for his laws of gravity and motion, as well as his contributions to mathematics, philosophy, and optics. Turning to theology, he outlines his discoveries about Daniel and Revelation here in his Observations.

Through the Veil is for those who find mainstream religious answers to life's most important questions less than satisfying. It is for those who wrestle with existential questions, such as: What is the meaning of life? What happens when we die? Is Heaven real? Does hell exist? Is the end really near? In this book the author shares her miraculous story about her contact with those on the other side of the veil and the insight that it brought concerning what happens when we die and how that should impact the way we live now.

The reality of God’s ultimate punishment is central to the gospel. Only by facing sin’s devastation can believers fully grasp the beauty of their salvation and help unbelievers confront their need for forgiveness. Unfortunately, many Christians and Bible scholars neglect God’s final judgment. In his book The Justice and Goodness of God, theologian Thomas Schreiner offers a comprehensive biblical analysis of eternal destruction.
