How Does America Fit into God's Plan for Jesus' Coming?
Jesus is Coming // 1 Thessalonians 4:16-18
ABOUT THE SERIES
By Dr. Jerry Rueb
The subject of God’s plans for future things is a cardinal doctrine. The Bible is neither vague nor understated in describing the coming of Jesus Christ. Nearly every book of the Bible contains prophecies regarding the end times. Jesus encouraged His disciples to be ready for His coming because it could happen at any moment. He also warned those who either doubted or ignored His return. The Jesus is Coming series will explore the details of biblical prophecy and connect them to our times today. Each message will provide practical application for believers who are watching and waiting for the return of Jesus.
