Synopsis: Its the end of the world as we know it, proclaims the popular song. And sometimes the daily news appears to confirm that forecast. The signs of the times hailing Christs return seem to be all around. Or so it appears. But, is it really the end of the world? Christians through the ages have held to a variety of understandings of the millennium - the belief that a 1,000-year period of utopia will one day come. In this book, prophecy expert and biblical scholar Marvin Pate helpfully highlights the three major views of when Christ will return - premillennialism, postmillennialism, and amillennialism - as well as fourth skeptical interpretation, expertly analyzing them all. This timely treatment provides a reader-friendly, accessible overview of the ongoing debate over end-times viewpoints.
