Rating: Summary: Awesome and Educational Review: This book was awesome and educational. Still reading from my copy I got on Monday January 13th, 2004. I liked this book because it took a stand against the Pretrib/Secert Rapture nonsene that is present in most of our Chruches today. This book is a wonderful resource for those that are wanting to learn more about the "End Times" without the nonsense. If you are looking for an awesome study resource dealing with the "End Times", do not get the Left Behind music soundtracks, books, DVDs and their Prophecy Study Bible. You will be wasting your money. Use your money wisely and get this book. It will change your life and will open your eyes to the truths about the "End Times" and the events surrounding it. Dan Presley (Frequent Customer and proud supporter of R.C. Sproul) P.S. Also, while you are visting, get yourself a copy of the Reformation Study Bible (New Geneva), by R.C. Sproul, as well. It is another wonderful resource that I like to read and study from. Got my Leather-Bound copy from here and I am still reading and studying from that awesome resource.
Rating: Summary: Tim Lahaye, what about what Jesus said? Review: Tim, please reread what Jesus said! Why is so much of what Jesus devalued by so many Dispensationalists?
Rating: Summary: Good introduction to Biblical eschatology Review: While I believe that "The Last Days According to Jesus" falls short of correct exegesis of eschatological passages, it is a good introduction to realized eschatology, and it is a step in the right direction. Should the majority of Christians today sit down and approach Dispensationalism and futurist eschatology with the clear and critical thinking that R.C. Sproul does, Christianity would be reformed overnight! Sproul presents realized eschatology in a faily accurate light, clearly illustrating the shortcomings of the modern view of Dispensationalism. The reader will gain a new understanding of the scripture, and realize that it is a lot more likely that Christ's Second Coming already took place in AD 70, at the destruction of the Jewish Temple. Any Christian that sees the "rapture" as an imminent event should read this book. It is a good antidote to "rapture fever", and the "Left Behind" garbage. Sproul however does not go far enough in his exegesis, and still awaits a future return of Christ, despite the clear, biblical evidence brought forth by his own book. A must read, but 4 stars for falling short of consistency.
