The Bible study that has the whole nation talking... now a #1 ECPA Bestseller! |
Exclusive access to Max Lucado's What Happens Next: A Bible Study on the End Times—only on Study Gateway. |
We've all wondered at some point, "What happens next?" This study on the end times tackles those very questions. Whether you're eagerly curious about future events or hesitant to dive into eschatology, this study will change the way you see not just the future, but your life right now. |
NOTE FROM THE AUTHOR, MAX LUCADO |
This is a study on the end times. Now, when I say this, I know it will cause different reactions among different people. Some will likely dive into this study with excitement, hoping to learn more about future events. But others will approach this study with reluctance, wondering why they need to be poking into what the Bible says about the future. After all, aren't there more pressing issues to deal with in the present? Which camp are you in? |
Camp #1: Interested in what happens next |
Not surprisingly, I'm a member of the first camp. I'm genuinely interested in what happens next. Maybe because I'm getting older. My hourglass has more sand on the bottom than on the top. Consequently, eschatology (the study of end times) has become a fascination for me. I really want to know what's around the corner. I also find that understanding the future empowers me to face the present. Paul had this same opinion. Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize. Philippians 3:13–14 The best of life is yet to be. Got challenges in the here-and-now? Then ponder what is to come. Yet I offer this advice to myself and others who are fascinated about the end times: - Don't ignore the Giver by focusing on the gift.
- Don't ignore the Planner by focusing on the plan.
Yes, the Bible has much to say about the future of our world, the end of history, and the glorious span of eternity that lies beyond. But God didn't give us those glimpses just so that we could better understand the future. He helps us see the plan to invite us to spend eternity with him. |
Camp #2: Reluctant to spend six weeks on the end times |
Now, to those in the second camp—those who are more hesitant to study the end times for any reason—let me offer this advice: Setting your eyes on the future is good for you. Listen again to Paul: Since, then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things. Colossians 3:1–2 Your soul needs hourly gazes into the life to come. - You need to know what your departed loved ones are doing.
- You need to envision the rapture and the millennium.
- You need to picture your eternal home and the face of God.
Why? Because heaven is the green vegetable in the spiritual diet. It makes us whole. It keeps us healthy. So, let's be consumed with the things above. ~ Max Lucado |
