Synopsis

Thinking about the end times isn't supposed to terrify you

Christians rightly turn to the Bible to make sense of our times. But so often we get the wrong answers because we ask the wrong questions. In The End of the World as You Know It, Matthew L. Halsted challenges common end-times assumptions and points us back to Scripture.

• Are we in the end times?
• How should we understand Revelation?
• What is the Mark of the Beast?
• Will Christians be raptured?
• Is there a coming time of tribulation?
• How can we know when Jesus will return?
• What can we know about the antichrist?

Each chapter reevaluates a popular question in light of the Bible's own concerns. When we let Scripture direct our questions, we get better--and more hopeful--answers.

The Bible was written for us, but not to us. We must bridge the gap between Scripture's ancient context and our own. Reading end-times texts in their ancient context helps us understand our present and future. And when we do, we find that God's word brings peace, not fear and confusion.
