Compare God's Endgame by Gary S Cangelosi, Paperback | Indigo Chapters

According to the Old Testament prophets, the Jewish Messiah was supposed to rule as King of kings over Israel and the whole world, establishing a kingdom on earth characterized by peace, justice, righteousness, and prosperity. Instead, Jesus Christ was crucified, and after being resurrected, ascended to heaven without establishing his reign. The current fallen world remains under Satan's dominion where systemic strife, war, injustice, evil, and poverty continue. If Jesus of Nazareth is the Jewish Messiah, then where is his messianic kingdom? Does Christ have to return again to this earth in order to remove Satan and establish his 1, 000-year messianic kingdom? This book explores the possibility that instead of Christ returning to this earth to establish his millennial kingdom, he remains in heaven seated at the right hand of the Father when he rules the world. As the Son of God who created this Genesis creation, he has a divine right to rule over his restored creation. The departed saints would inherit this paradise through the "first resurrection" of their natural bodies. After the millennium, the saints would then inherit the Father's eternal kingdom at the final resurrection when Christ comes again, raptures the saints, destroys this Genesis creation, and takes the immortal sons of God to the new heavens and new earth (Rev. 20:4-5, 12). | God's Endgame by Gary S Cangelosi, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
