Glimpsing the Mystery

Author: Barbara M. Leung Lai
Publisher: Lexham Press
ISBN: 1577997751
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 141

Book Description
The stories in the first half of the book of Daniel are Sunday School favorites, and the visions of the second half are sometimes hard to understand. How do either of them relate to the world today, with its frequent news of conflict, injustice, and human suffering? In Glimpsing the Mystery, Barbara M. Leung Lai succinctly takes readers through Daniel, showing throughout how God responds to the needs of his people in difficult times. In a world that seems out of control, God provides glimpses into the mystery of his glory and sovereignty, showing that he has not stopped working and reassuring us that he is still the God of gods and Lord of lords. It is a message that is as necessary today as it was in Daniel’s time.

ISBN: 1490857885
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 481

Book Description
The end times contain many exciting events we are all familiar with and think we fully understand. The appearance and domination of the Antichrist throughout the world. The rise and global domination of the Revised Roman Empire, resulting in a One World Government. The Mark of the Beast that makes trade impossible anywhere on the Earth. The universal devastation wrecked by the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. The appearance of the spiritual harlot of Mystery Babylon, and the end time false religion. However, consider the following: What if the Antichrist will not become the universal or worldwide leader? What if the Mark of the Beast is regional, rather than global? What if there is no Revised Roman Empire? What if the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse have already been loosed? What if Mystery Babylon could never be the Roman Catholic Church? Who did Jesus identify as the Mystery Babylon of Revelation? What if the Twelfth Imam, the Islamic Messiah, is slain in the rebuilt Jewish Temple? Why is it impossible to know the identity of the Antichrist until certain events unfold? Why are the dates of the Rapture and that of the Second Coming both unknowable? Who is left to enter into the Millennial Kingdom if theres a Post-Tribulational Rapture? Why are the identities of the two end-time prophets unknowable? What country is poised to play a major role within these end-time events? In a detailed and thorough analysis of Scripture, The Great Tribulation! explores these and many more questions related to the end-time events in a step-by-step approach. Using a literal interpretation of Scripture, this eschatological study is unsurpassed in detail for the knowledgeable Bible student and yet remains basic and straightforward for the novice.
