Understanding the End Times

by Bob Yandian

Overview

A Last Days Play-by-Play for the Christian

Countless books have been written that link current events to end-time scriptures predicting the soon return of Jesus. But too often Christians have devalued the Bible message by predicting an Antichrist who dies, or by predicting dates that come and go with no Jesus.

Bob Yandian, Bible scholar and veteran pastor of more than 30 years, says the whole point is to focus on God's unchanging plan—not news headlines.

In Understanding the End Times, Bob points out that while we have every reason to believe Jesus’ coming is imminent, we need to focus on understanding God’s plan for the ages by weaving together biblical prophecies and interpreting world events in light of it.

With straightforward, scriptural teaching, Bob outlines:

• The Rapture of the Church *The Judgment Seat of Christ * The Tribulation
• Daniel’s 70th week * The Second Coming * Dispensational truths
• The Millennial Reign * FAQs

Don’t be concerned or confused about what’s coming in the world. This teaching will make it clear that the Bible does not line up with the world—the world must line up with the Bible. Christian, look up to see that your redemption is closer than ever!
