I thought Jesus would be here by now.
A surprising look at end-time scriptures:
What does the Bible say?
By C.E. Koerner.
Back cover:
What do you believe?
How do you know?
Do you believe Jesus will return any minute now
~ to take His Church out of the world?
How do you know?
Have you the courage to test what you believe?
Read the Scriptures printed out on the pages of
this book, or use the references to look them up in
your own Bible. Comments
by author, C.E. Koerner, are simple and easy to read,
but the Bible is the authority.
Get ready to be surprised!
Do not wait!
Do not wait to read this book!
Can you feel the rumble of spiritual forces at
war in the world today?
Time is moving very fast!
Christian people need to be informed ~ and
prepared!
The beginning
of the book:
How do you see
it?
Do you believe
Jesus is coming back to get us any minute now?
For a great many Christians today, that is the
only thing we really need to know about “end
times.”
Some Christians
are eager to win the lost to Christ before He comes
back. For
them, the study of “prophecy” is mostly a big
waste of time. Winning
the world is far more important than time-tables and
predictions!
For myself, I want
to know at least some of the details God put
into the Bible. He
must have thought they were important; otherwise, why
in the world did He give us so many of them?
A question:
A challenge
Jesus’ disciples
spent three years walking and talking with Him,
but they didn’t understand His mission to go to
Calvary and die.
We think they should have figured it out, but
we goof too,
don’t we?
One common mistake we make ~ is to take someone
else’s word for what the Bible says.
We hear or read an explanation from someone we
trust, and we accept it.
Or we believe it because so many others are
saying the same thing.
The Christians at
Berea were taught by the Apostle Paul, but they
checked the Scriptures to see if he was right.
The Bible praises them!
(Then Acts 17:11 is quoted.)
What do you know
about the return of Jesus Christ?
Have you read it yourself from the Bible?
Or do you “know” it because you’ve been
told? This
little book contains the Scriptures to test
what you believe.
Are you willing?
The last page
of the book:
How did I learn
this?
When I was young,
there were three very different teachings about the
“last days” and the return of Jesus.
My parents decided to find out which one they
agreed with; which viewpoint did they think was right?
They compared each
one with Scripture, but found “holes” ~ things
that didn’t match.
They decided to study the Bible on its own.
Let the Bible explain itself.
They used reference materials and different
Bible translations, but no human opinions.
Their startling
discovery ~ over months and years of study ~ is what
I’ve tried to explain inside this book.
I grew up learning this, as they studied.
They printed many booklets and papers over the
years, but most people just don’t want to study.
This is a simplified version; just the basics,
and hopefully easier to understand.
Thank you to my
parents for showing me the surprising truth about the
return of Jesus, and for teaching me, by example, to
search the Word of God for myself.
