What Does the Future Hold? Getting a Handle on the Final Events - an Overview Guide for Seventh-day Adventists Kerry L. Schoonmaker

The first, second, and third Sunday Laws, the Little Time of Trouble, the Latter Rain, the Loud Cry, the Shaking, the Great Time of Trouble, the Time of Jacob's Trouble, the Seven Last Plagues. If someone asked you to explain what will happen during these periods of time, could you do so? As Seventh-day Adventists, we believe that we are living in the last days of earth's history, and many Christians are constructing end-times scenarios based on passages plucked out of context from the Bible and Spirit of Prophecy writings which creates confusion and error. This book presents the principle of allowing these precious resources to interpret themselves so that we can avoid being confused, and come to a true understanding of what lies ahead. As the end of time draws near, world legislation will make life impossible for Seventh-day Sabbath keepers, who will have to stand up for their faith as they battle the principalities and powers of darkness. The most important aspect of preparing for these Final Events is developing an ever-closer relationship with Jesus. As we spend time with our Lord on a daily basis, share our faith with others, and allow the Holy Spirit to work in our hearts and minds, we will endure the perilous time, and be prepared for the Second Coming of Jesus Christ.
