This is a Christian book that provides a thorough explanation of what the Bible teaches regarding the last days of God's dominion on earth. This book aims to dispel any uncertainty regarding both the future of the Christian community in light of God's purposes as well as the coming of God as described in the New Testament.

The author provides a detailed explanation of eschatology as well as elements of New Testament eschatology. The author explains major eschatologies that are leading to fear and conflicts among Christians, and they include amillennialism, dispensational premillennialism, historical premillennialism, postmillennialism, and full preterism. The book also provides seven guidelines that will help someone produce an unbiased and accurate understanding of eschatologies. The author also gives a detailed explanation of the word "parousia" with quotations from verses and chapters in the Bible for easier understanding. The book also talks about the major principles or core beliefs of the AD 70 theory as advocated by Max R. King and the major principles of dispensational premillennialism as advocated by John Darby. The author effectively explains scripture and, by using God's Word, demonstrates the fallacy of men's end-times speculation. Anyone who wants to learn more about what the Bible says regarding the Second Coming of the Son of Man should read this book.

I like the way in which the author uses verses and chapters in the Bible to further explain his view on eschatology. I also appreciate that the book was written with love and in accordance with precise biblical principles. I rate this book five stars out of five because it was written based on biblical truth and was also well edited. I found no errors while reading this book.

After reading this book, I found nothing to dislike apart from the bulkiness. Also, I dislike the reference pattern they used in the book, which I believe contributed to the bulkiness.

I recommend this to all Christians and to those who want to know more about the second coming of the Son of Man. Also, I recommend this book to those who are confused about the second coming of God as described in the New Testament.
