And the Lamb Wins: Why the End of the World Is Really Good News
There is a growing collective interest in the end times. But with that interest comes a barrage of confusing, and sometimes misleading, ideas and messages. With so much available information, how can we discern fact from fiction?
Pastor Simon Ponsonby takes an eye-opening look at what the future holds. Cutting through today's cultural din, Simon examines provocative topics including:
- Biblical indicators of the end times
- The return of Jesus Christ
- The tribulation and the rapture
- Israel's place in the future
- The true role of the antichrist
Simon examines each event through the lens of solid scripture, and shares how we can realistically and positively react to these revelations in our daily life. Most of all, we'll find that whatever the future has in store, our hope lies beyond this world. Because no matter the end, the lamb wins.
Top Highlights
“The Lamb wins: He defeats sin; he defeats death; he defeats Satan. Scripture is the story of the victory of the Lord who loves.” (source)
“Christianity is eschatology, and eschatology is hope: Christianity looks to the future and ultimately that future is a glorious one for the Christian.” (source)
“The kingdom is not a nationalistic Jewish state, but a spiritual community of Jew and Gentile.” (source)
“I tend toward the amillennial position, interpreting the millennium as consistent with church history—although, following postmillennialism, I anticipate a glorious and global bride to greet Christ at his second coming and, following premillennialism and dispensationalism, I believe that God’s end-time purposes involve the conversion of Israel.” (source)
“Whatever the time frame of interpre-tation—historic, present continuous, or future—Revelation makes the unmistakable announcement that the kingdom of God, initiated by Christ at his first coming, will be consummated at his second coming, when the Lamb wins and is worshipped as king by all.” (source)
