Synopsis

What if the “end times” passages you’ve always placed in the future were actually much nearer to the people who first heard them?

For years, Joshua Boring understood biblical prophecy through a dispensational framework. The Tribulation, the Antichrist, the Beast, and much of Revelation belonged to the future.

Then some simple words in Scripture became increasingly difficult to explain away:

Soon. Near. At hand. This generation.

Jesus predicted the destruction of the Temple. He warned His disciples about Jerusalem. Revelation told its original readers that its events “must soon take place” and that “the time is near.” And within the lifetime of that generation, Roman armies surrounded Jerusalem and destroyed the Temple in AD 70.

The End Was Near follows one Christian’s journey of asking a question that changed the way he read biblical prophecy:

What would these words have meant to the people who first heard them?

With Scripture at the center, Joshua reexamines:

• Jesus’ Olivet Discourse and the meaning of “this generation”
• The New Testament’s repeated declarations that certain events were near
• The destruction of Jerusalem and the Temple in AD 70
• Daniel’s seventy weeks and their connection to Christ
• The dating of Revelation
• The Beast and the mysterious number 666
• The identity of Babylon the Great
• The Bible’s use of apocalyptic language
• Israel, the Church, and Romans 11
• Zechariah and the way the apostles interpreted Old Testament prophecy
• What biblical prophecy still teaches us about our future

This is not a book arguing that everything has already been fulfilled. Partial preterism still looks forward to the bodily return of Jesus Christ, the resurrection of the dead, final judgment, and the ultimate renewal of creation.

Nor is this an attack on Christians who hold a dispensational view. It is an invitation to open the Bible, consider its original audience, compare Scripture with Scripture, and be willing to follow the evidence wherever it leads.

You may finish this book still convinced of the prophetic framework you already hold.

Or you may find yourself asking some of the same questions Joshua did.

Either way, the invitation is simple: hold your system with an open hand—and Christ with both hands.
