Did you know that the Bible speaks more about the times we are living in
than any other period in history?
In the mysterious and prophetic Book of Revelation, God has laid out His
plans for the incredible final chapters of planet Earth so His people can be
blessed, informed, encouraged, emboldened, strengthened, and filled with
hope as they navigate the last days.
Written in a clear and accessible style, Hail the King will
illuminate every verse and chapter of this captivating book. You’ll
learn:
• Why the Old Testament is
the key to unlocking the Book of Revelation.
• The meaning behind the
vivid imagery and strange symbols used by John.
• How the past 2,000 years
of the Church were prophesied in 7 letters written by Jesus.
• The chronological
sequence of events leading up to Christ’s glorious return.
• How to find a renewed
sense of urgency, purpose, and hope in these uncertain times.
Prepare for an immersive encounter with Scripture that will equip you for
the days ahead, grow your love for Jesus, and inspire you to live with an
eternal perspective!
EXCERPT
The first word we need to learn on this journey is “eschatology.” It’s
the term used for the theological study of Bible prophecies related
to the end of the world, “the end-times” or “the last days.” If you’re
studying eschatology, you’re studying end-times Bible prophecies,
which is what we’ll be doing in this journey through Revelation.
Within Christendom, there is a frequently repeated critique
of those who love to dig into eschatology, and it goes something
like this: “If you’re too Heavenly minded, you’ll be no earthly good.”
I remember opening a prominent Christian music magazine
and reading their review of a concept album that a well-known
artist had just released. All the songs were focused on Heaven
and Jesus’ coming for His Church. It was a brilliant album.
But the reviewer accused the album of “suffering from ‘I’ll Fly Away’
syndrome.”
Both critiques are rooted in the belief that Christians too
focused on the coming of Jesus and eternity in Heaven will neglect
the things they should be doing for Jesus on the earth, here and
now. The assumption is that they’ll live useless lives as they
waste their days gazing longingly toward the heavens instead of
sharing the Gospel and occupying themselves with the work of
the Kingdom.
