Right now, you're living in an era defined by global pandemics, natural disasters, political strife, and ever-shifting morality. Though at times you may feel tempted to question God's presence or goodness, these events actually signal that His promises will soon be fulfilled. In Aftershocks, best-selling author Jeff Kinley reveals how current societal and global trends fit into Bible prophecy and foreshadow the nearness of the end times - and how those prophecies can renew your passion to live wisely as you proclaim Christ to a suffering world.

Today, the hope that all believers on earth will be "caught up" to heaven is being challenged in new waves of criticism. Can we really expect Jesus to gather up his followers before the Antichrist is revealed? In this well-reasoned and thorough defense, prophecy authors Mark Hitchcock and Ed Hindson examine the concept, context, and consequences of the important and long-expected event known as the rapture.

Heaven is the home you've been waiting for. In this world of fear, trials, and loneliness we often feel adrift - like we're still searching for a place where we can truly make ourselves at home. There's a longing for something more, something that makes us feel like we belong, something that resonates perfectly with who we were made to be. This longing is no small thing to be brushed off and forgotten - it's a guidepost letting us know we were made for another world. Earth is not our home. But it's close.

All of us long to know what life after death will be like. Best-selling author John Burke is no exception. In Imagine Heaven, Burke compares over 100 gripping stories of near-death experiences (NDEs) to what Scripture says about our biggest questions of heaven: Will I be myself? Will I see friends and loved ones? What will heaven look like? What is God like? What will we do forever? What about children and pets?

The Gallup Poll reports that one in 25 people has had a near-death experience. Their heart stopped beating, their brain waves ceased; they claim they were more alive than ever. With improved medical resuscitation, more and more verifiable evidence indicates that life doesn't end with our last breath - it's just beginning. Drawing out the similarities found by studying over 1,000 accounts of near-death experiences around the globe, John Burke unfolds a compelling and comforting vision of a world where we are free from pain; we feel fully known and accepted; we are greeted by loved ones.

What will the world look like in the last days? One significant clue the Bible offers is a fascinating look at New Babylon. More than one-tenth of the book of Revelation is devoted to prophecies about this city-the center of the antichrist's world government. But are we to understand these prophecies symbolically or literally? As you explore the Bible's prophecies about the last days, you'll discover that no matter how uncertain the future looks, you can have peace knowing that God is in full control of all things.

The prospect of Christian Reconstruction is often derided by its critics as being “triumphalist.” One can just hear the unfaithful spies chiding Joshua and Caleb with similar disapproval as they sought to conquer the inhabitants of the promised land– a land filled with giants. But Christ did not entrust the Church with the Great Commission for its mere survival. We have been appointed to a calling that is more expansive than simply “reaching” people groups. We are called to disciple the nations to obedience in all areas of life.

God's desire is that you live your life on purpose, to do what God purposed you to do. Believe and know that God is with you right now, and that He has the best plans for your life. You will discover the secret of attaining peace with God, even in the worst of times.

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. However reality hits and you're left picking up the pieces: nations crumbling under crises of immorality, the celebration of sin, and the deep fear of the future. 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.

An uneasy spiritual sense has gripped many Christians; a profound sense that something is incomplete and disconnected within the body of church teaching; something elemental to our raison d’etre. As was graphically described in the first Genesis 6 Conspiracy book, there are giants among us, passing largely unnoticed, intent on carrying out a secret plan to enslave all humanity.

Understanding the Times examines what Scripture makes known about the last days and what that means for you today. Sharing insights from her 40-year journey of watching the Bible’s predictions about a final generation fall into place, author and prophecy expert Jan Markell helps you discern the signs of the end times as stated in the Bible, understand prophecy and the last days in clear and practical terms, live wisely and uncompromisingly in a confused culture, and rest in the assurance that, in spite of perilous times, God’s end-times calendar is unfolding exactly as He planned.

For more than 800 years, scholars have pointed to the dark augury having to do with "the last Pope." The prophecy, taken from St. Malachy's 1595 "Prophecy of the Popes," is among a list of verses predicting each of the Roman Catholic popes from Pope Celestine II to the final pope, "Peter the Roman," whose reign would end in the destruction of Rome. Tradition holds that Malachy had been called to Rome by Pope Innocent II, and while there, he experienced the vision of the future popes, including the last one, which he wrote down in a series of cryptic phrases.
