Begin to explore the end. The end is near. While these often sound like words of insane rambling, they can also be a sensible presentation of truth. Acknowledging that what is yet to come is beyond the scope of our wildest projections, pastor and scholar Erwin Lutzer reminds us that we have not been left completely in the dark. There is much we can know. Within this book are ten events we can be certain of, ten events that will change our future forever. You will be encouraged to renew your expectation of the return of the Messiah and, in so doing, be motivated to live pure lives for Him. The King is Coming has been written precisely to aid your own exploration of biblical prophecies with sound, sensible, balanced perspectives based on the simple meaning of the biblical texts. Saturated with both humility and a sense of urgency, this book not only provides answers for those questioning what comes next, but also empowerment and instruction to live accordingly in the here and now.

From panic to punchline, public perception about the return of Christ reveals an alarming lack of understanding of biblical prophecy. Lutzer is careful handling a topic that leaves even mature believers and students with difficult questions and unclear conclusions.

The Gospel of Matthew is all about the King-the King of the Jews, the King who came to die to save His subjects, the King who is coming again to establish His millennial kingdom, the King of Kings. That King is Jesus Christ. Matthew focuses on both the first and second comings of Christ, with the assurance that in both cases, indeed the King is coming! Matthew, the tax collector turned disciple, writes to Jewish believers and unbelievers alike. For the believers, he emphasizes the legitimacy of Jesus as the long-awaited Jewish Messiah. For the unbelievers, he portrays the One who is the Savior of all people everywhere. His arguments are cogent, his style is vibrant, and his portrayal of Christ is magnificent. Charles Spurgeon said it best when he proclaimed, "Come just as you are, all guilty, empty, meritless and fall before the great King. And see it He will cast you away. Jesus is ready to pardon you...never tolerate low thoughts of Him. You may study, look and meditate, but Jesus is a greater Savior than you think Him to be, even when your thoughts are at their highest." Throughout Matthew's gospel, he draws our attention to the One who is the rightful King of Israel. Jesus is portrayed as being born a King, living and dying as a King, and coming again as the ultimate King of Kings. As you read this gospel and study this commentary, you will be challenged to become His disciple and follow Him wherever He leads you. A commentary for the twenty-first century, Study questions at the end of each chapter, Challenges you to follow the king wherever he leads you. Book jacket.

Previously published in hardcover as King's Cross The most influential man to ever walk the earth has had his story told in hundreds of different ways for thousands of years. Can any more be said? Now, Timothy Keller, New York Times bestselling author of The Prodigal Prophet and the man Newsweek called a “C. S. Lewis for the twenty-first century,” unlocks new insights into the life of Jesus Christ as he explores how Jesus came as a king, but a king who had to bear the greatest burden anyone ever has. Jesus the King is Keller’s revelatory look at the life of Christ as told in the Gospel of Mark. In it, Keller shows how the story of Jesus is at once cosmic, historical, and personal, calling each of us to look anew at our relationship with God. It is an unforgettable look at Jesus Christ, and one that will leave an indelible imprint on every reader.

Jesus the Christ is the only person in the history of the world whose life was completely foretold from conception to his death on the cross and resurrection. This book was compiled and illustrated for parents, grandparents and foster parents to teach the children, for Sunday schools, jail mimistries and home Bible studies. It was written for both the believer and non-believer. As Principal of Somerset Christian School, I recommend The King Is Coming by B.G. Patterson. The illustrated book covers over 100 Old Testament Prophecies and their fulfillment in Jesus Christ. It is a great resource for children or adults and helps children affirm that Jesus is the Messiah and worthy of worship. John Hale, Principal Somerset Christian School Somerset, Kentucky "THE KING IS COMING, written by Bonnie Patterson is a wonderful book that explains how prophecies from Old Testament Biblical references were fulfilled in the New Testament through the Messiah, Jesus. It is done in a simple, yet profound manner for all to understand. I invite all who are seeking truth to read this book and see why true Christians put their faith in Jesus Christ and refuse to renounce Him even in the face of death." Mark Harrell, senior pastor Victory Christian Fellowship, Somerset, KY
