  5. 5. The Last Days According To Jesus

    A careful, theologically grounded examination of Jesus’ teaching about the end times that focuses on the Olivet Discourse and related New Testament texts, distinguishing between immediate and ultimate fulfillments of his words, criticizing sensational date‑setting and speculative timelines, and correcting popular misreadings of prophecy. The author unpacks key themes—Christ’s promised return, final judgment, the nature of the kingdom, and the signs that accompany the last days—while arguing that Jesus’ primary concern is to call his followers to watchfulness, faithful ministry, and holy living rather than to satisfy curiosity about timetables. Drawing on historical and biblical theology, the book offers a pastoral, orthodox framework for understanding eschatology that emphasizes readiness, hope, and the centrality of Christ’s sovereign rule.
