This careful and authoritative treatment provides a balanced, responsible discussion of the "end times," a subject of importance to all Christians. Moving beyond sensational treatments of the subject, LaSor examines differing interpretations, then presents the biblical view of the Second Coming, the Antichrist, the Book of Revelation, The Tribulation, the Rapture, Armageddon, Ezekiel's Prophecy, the place of Israel, the Millennium, the loosing of Satan, the Resurrection and the Last Judgement and the New Creation. LaSor deals with the signs of the times, considers the biblical terms used for the age and its end, and discusses the nature of the present age (extending from the Garden of Eden to the Second Coming of Christ). The second half of the book, dealing with the period following the Second Coming, is solidly based on biblical evidence and provides clear answers to a host of vital questions.
