Addressing contemporary themes such as materialism, immorality, and fear, \u003cem\u003eThe Unknown Hour \u003c\/em\u003epoints readers to the course of redemptive history, the warnings of imminent judgment on the wicked, and the Lord’s unfailing promises to his Church.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eAlong the way, the authors helpfully introduce a variety of topics that generate controversy in Christian discussions of the end times, such as views of the millennium, the identity of the Antichrist, and the continued significance of the nation of Israel. Because of the book’s brevity, these discussions sometimes leave the reader wishing for a deeper and more nuanced treatment of such issues. The particular interpretations articulated in\u003cem\u003e The Unknown Hour \u003c\/em\u003eare not universally accepted, even within Reformed circles. Nevertheless, this is meant to be a primer on Scriptural eschatology, not a definitive and comprehensive doctrinal statement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eAnd as a primer, \u003cem\u003eThe Unknown Hour\u003c\/em\u003e’s most significant accomplishment is that of connecting eschatology’s future focus with its very present point. The study opens by quoting Jesus’s invocation of the “sign of the prophet Jonah” against the Pharisees (Matthew 16). Jonah’s commission was to preach judgment to Nineveh, a city of abominable paganism that nevertheless repented and turned to God. As it relates to the end times, the sign of Jonah proclaims that there is still time to repent and cry out to the Lord, whose mercy is unfailing. The poignant call at the end of Revelation, “Let the one who is thirsty come; let the one who desires take the water of life without price” (Revelation 22:17), resounds underneath each chapter of this study.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Unknown Hour \u003c\/em\u003eimparts sobriety and strength in tumultuous times.

Henry Vander Kam’s Bible study book about t\u003ci\u003ehe signs of the times\u003c\/i\u003e for your studies!\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eIt is far easier to fill a bookshelf with hyperbolic predictions and conspiracy theories from ostensibly Christian authors about the end of the world than it is to locate a level-headed, thoughtful, and relevant Reformed resource that summarizes the Bible’s teaching about the end times. But such studies do exist, and \u003cem\u003eThe Unknown Hour \u003c\/em\u003eis one of them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eThis Reformed Fellowship study is a revision of Rev.

Addressing contemporary themes such as materialism, immorality, and fear, \u003cem\u003eThe Unknown Hour \u003c\/em\u003epoints readers to the course of redemptive history, the warnings of imminent judgment on the wicked, and the Lord’s unfailing promises to his Church.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eAlong the way, the authors helpfully introduce a variety of topics that generate controversy in Christian discussions of the end times, such as views of the millennium, the identity of the Antichrist, and the continued significance of the nation of Israel. Because of the book’s brevity, these discussions sometimes leave the reader wishing for a deeper and more nuanced treatment of such issues. The particular interpretations articulated in\u003cem\u003e The Unknown Hour \u003c\/em\u003eare not universally accepted, even within Reformed circles. Nevertheless, this is meant to be a primer on Scriptural eschatology, not a definitive and comprehensive doctrinal statement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eAnd as a primer, \u003cem\u003eThe Unknown Hour\u003c\/em\u003e’s most significant accomplishment is that of connecting eschatology’s future focus with its very present point. The study opens by quoting Jesus’s invocation of the “sign of the prophet Jonah” against the Pharisees (Matthew 16). Jonah’s commission was to preach judgment to Nineveh, a city of abominable paganism that nevertheless repented and turned to God. As it relates to the end times, the sign of Jonah proclaims that there is still time to repent and cry out to the Lord, whose mercy is unfailing. The poignant call at the end of Revelation, “Let the one who is thirsty come; let the one who desires take the water of life without price” (Revelation 22:17), resounds underneath each chapter of this study.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Unknown Hour \u003c\/em\u003eimparts sobriety and strength in tumultuous times.
