David Jeremiah (1)Recensioni

I read this devotionally, just a chapter or two a day. I feel it spoke to me a lot about giving my all to praise. I may read it again with highlighter in hand when God tells me I'm not praising him enough.

Well-known Christian pastor and author Dr. David Jeremiah offers insights into the Rapture. He explains the differences in the Rapture and the Second Coming of Christ and the confusion offered by different approaches to end times prophecies. He explains the need to be ready at any moment because we already see many of the signs of the second coming--and the Rapture comes before this. Dr. Jeremiah uses a story in each of the 31 chapters to help convey the message of the chapter. These work well. He discusses the timeline for the Rapture, Tribulation, Second Coming, etc. while acknowledging that we need to be ready because no one knows the hour.

“Want to discuss all the hoopla about the nativity? Noted pastor and theologian Dr. Jeremiah has the answer! In his clear, concise style, he discusses the "Christ" in Christmas---and how the birth of Jesus has changed not only the history of the world but also the individual lives of millions of believers.” From www.christianbook.com.

First sentence: Our world is in bad shape, and sometimes we feel that way too, don't we? In our better moments we know we're encompassed by God's blessing, yet we seem to struggle mightily with anxiety, fear, resentment, and discouragement. The chaos of the world seeps into our hearts. Fear can erode faith if we let it.

I appreciated how David Jeremiah spins the 'end of the world' to 'the world of the end.' This isn't a book necessarily about the WHEN of "the end of the world," nor does it try to focus on specifics--piecing together news headlines and scriptures taken out of context. This is about the 'birth pangs,' or the time before the 'end of the world.' This time could span--has spanned--decades, centuries, etc. No one knows the exact day and time of his coming, or the proper start to the end of the world, the tribulation. But we can study Jesus' words to his disciples about the end times. We can study Revelation and other passages of Scripture. We can piece together principles on how those teachings should shape priorities. How we live day by day should reflect our study of these end time prophecies. Not so we can debate. Not so we can argue. Not so we can prep--literally. Not so we can live in fear OR live recklessly.

His chapter titles are themed and thought-provoking:

In a World of Deception, BE HONEST
In a World of War, BE CALM
In a World of Disasters, BE CONFIDENT
In a World of Persecution, BE PREPARED
In a World of Betrayal, BE FAITHFUL
In a World of Lawlessness, BE KIND
In a World of Bad News, BE THE GOOD NEWS
In the World of the End, BE DETERMINED

I enjoyed reading this one more than I thought I would. It was good.

Quotes:

I can't get excited about any book that inspires concern about future events but ignores what God wants us to do today. My study of prophecy convinces me that God intends knowledge of future events to help us occupy our world with a sense of urgency until the Lord returns. (20)

The Bible: need it, read it, heed it, and speed it on its way to others. (43)

Very Interesting, easy-to-read book.

This is a captivating book by Dr. Jeremiah about the soon-coming rapture of the Church. With impeccable research over several decades, the author brings to the forefront the questions so many have based on solid biblical truths.

Who will be raptured? When will it happen? What about the children? What happens to non-believers left behind, what will Heaven be like, and so many more answers to the questions.

Are you sure you are ready? You can be. This is a must-read book.

Disclosure: I received this book free via NetGalley. The opinions I have expressed are my own, and I was not required to write a positive review.

Buddy read with my daughter, Kristin. Very easy to read and understand, but very big 468 page e-book. The author drops a lot of Bible verses to reference, so take your time with this one. I took the time to read every single verse or chapter from my Bible and moseyed along about a chapter or two each morning.

The title might be just a little misleading. Most of the book is helping to understand what is going to happen "after" the Rapture and during the 7 year Tribulation before Christ comes to rule over the earth in peace for the 1000 years. No one, and I mean no one, knows or can predict exactly when Christ will return for his people, not even Satan. But, this book does point to at least one sign that is recorded in the Bible that we can look for during these end times.

Mainly, we should start to see a more centralized government forming among the European nation...kind of a rebirth of the Roman Empire. Daniel 7:23-24: “The fourth beast shall be a fourth kingdom on earth, which shall...devour the whole earth, trample it and break it in pieces. The ten horns are ten kings who shall arise from this kingdom”. This has yet to happen. But, today, “this concentration of power in the European Union signals the beginning of this new world order” (p. 26). “Europe is more integrated today than at any time since the days of ancient Rome and is considered to be the second most powerful political force in our world” (p. 25). The stage is set in Europe for these ten leaders to step up all at one time under one global government, which has never been the case in the entire history of the Roman Empire. Definitely watch in the news what is going on with the European Union. I have read and heard about other warning signs as we near the end times, but they aren't listed here in this book.

From the ten rulers of this European coalition, one leader will step up to take control and become the final world dictator. He will be the Antichrist. But, this Antichrist will not be known until after the Rapture when the world is in complete chaos. He will destroy three of the ten leaders and promise peace to Israel, with signed contracts and all, but it will only last for the first three and a half years of the Tribulation. The world will actually embrace this man (Daniel 7:24-25).

The rest of the book is centered on the chronological events that will take place during the Tribulation, and believe you me, you don’t want to be here. It seems that things are really spinning out of control in this world. We are spiraling towards something. I do believe that something is the Coming of the Lord. Am I ready? I DON’T KNOW! I say I believe in Jesus and I trust in Him...but do I really? Things I’m seeing and hearing about today in this world really scare me (Is that lack of faith?), and here we are just getting a tiny little sample of what’s to come during the Tribulation. I feel so weak.

An extensive discussion of Matthew chapters 24-25 "the Olivet Discourse" and it's relationship to the Book of Revelation. The author spends the first chapter on the entire prophecy and then breaks it down to the different elements in each succeeding chapter. He concludes each chapter with 10 Bible verses meant to reassure and encourage Christians in these circumstances.

In his new book, What Are You Afraid Of? Dr. Jeremiah explores the top ten fears that are holding so many of us back from the life God has called us to live and shares the supernatural secrets for facing down these fears with faith.

In each of the ten chapters of this book, we will apply biblical clues and point out these signs, viewing current events from God's Word. We will be warned and challenged, but also encouraged and comforted.
