Answers to an Age Old Question.

Rev. Mahabirs book goes the distance in clearing up an issue that has befuddled many adherents of Christianity and theologians as well. Rev. Mahabirs acute insight into exegesis helped settle the confusion over this subject due to the many previous books that have been published on it in the past few years. This book is written not from personal opinion, but completely from the doctrine layed out in the scriptures of the Bible. I highly recommend this book to all Christians; so they may become aware of what is truly to come in the "End Times".

THE RELIABILITY OF SCRIPTURE

"The Glorious Appearing" is a book on prophecy that is easy to read and understand. You will find Scriptures, questions, comments and diagrams that will enable you to come to the conclusion that is scriptural about the Second Coming of Christ and the events that will precede and follow it. You will learn a great deal from the Bible. You will also be reminded of what God has prepared for those who put their trust in Jesus. Using the Scriptures, the book shows unequivocally that there will be: one Second Coming (Matt. 25:31-46; 2 Thess. 1:6-10; Acts 3:21; 2 Tim. 4:1; Heb. 9:27-28), one resurrection of both the righteous and the unrighteous (Dan. 12:2; John 5:28-29; Acts 24:15) and one day of judgment for all mankind (Matt. 25:31-46; Acts 17:31; 2 Tim. 4:1; 2 Pet. 3:7-13). The preceding Scriptures refute Historic Premillennialism (two future resurrections and two judgments) and Dispensational Premillennialism (three future resurrections and three judgments). Matthew 24:6 disproves Postmillennialism which teaches that there will be a thousand years of peace and righteousness before the Second Coming of Christ. Only Amillennialism is supported by the Scriptures. Amillennialism teaches that at the end of the tribulation there will be a general resurrection and the judgment of all mankind (Acts 24:15; Acts 17:31; 2 Pet. 3:7-13. The rapture and descent will take place when the judgment occurs (Matt.11:23-24; I Thess. 4:16-5:3).The righteous will go into eternal life and the unrighteous into eternal punishment (Matt. 13:36-43; Matt. 25:31-46; Luke 20:34-36; 1 Cor. 15:50-52; 1 Thess. 4:16-5:3; Phil. 3:20-21; Rev. 21:1-8). Premillennialists teach that, following the Second Coming of Christ, people will live in natural bodies for a thousand years. During that time, they will have children and they will do the ordinary things of life as we do now. But the Scriptures declare that eternity will commence when Jesus judges the living and the dead at his coming (Matt. 13:36-43; Matt. 25:31-46; 2 Tim. 4:1; 2 Pet. 3:7-13; Rev. 11:15-18; Rev. 21:1-8). After Jesus judges the living and the dead ("the world") at his Second Coming, there will be no human beings in natural bodies capable of having children (Matt. 13:36-43; Matt. 25:31-46; i Cor. 15:50-52; Phil. 3:20-21; Rev. 21:1-8). The book proves beyond a reasonable doubt that the thousand years recorded in the Book of Revelation (Chapter 20:1-7) are not literal but symbolic and they are being fulfilled now. The thousand years are discussed in Chapter 8 of the book. As you read the book, you will discover what the prophets, the apostles and JESUS taught about THE END OF THE AGE AND THE KINGDOM OF GOD. The book answers many questions on prophecy. The "Table of Contents" will give you an excellent idea of what to expect. TABLE OF CONTENTS 1. The Church 2. Premillennialism 3.
