This book takes you on a journey from the emergence of Jesus in the first century to the last days and the final judgement.
A. J. Gordon interprets biblical events to the last detail, putting scripture in historical context, and painting an accurate and realistic picture of its prophecies.
He compares the futurist and historical schools of religious thought, with the first holding that the Antichrist is yet to appear and that the larger part of the Apocalypse remains to be fulfilled; while the latter maintains that Antichrist has already come in the form of the papacy, and that the Apocalypse has been continuously fulfilling from Jesus's ascension to the present time.
Gordon claims that the name "Antichrist" is not necessarily an individual man, but the long succession of popes in Rome, basing the claim on his interpretation from the scripture saying that no man should ever take the place of the Lord.
"What is he who should claim to be the vicar of Christ but a usurper of the Spirit's seat in the temple of God?"
This book makes you revisit every belief you hold about the last days and the Second Coming, and opens your eyes to foregleams we're witnessing in the present day.
"The theme of Christ's coming in glory is second to none in scripture, not even to the atonement itself."
"Christ is not only coming in power at the last day, but the power of His coming is to be constantly operating in the present day."
