The King Is Coming: It's Time to Prepare for the Return of Christ"
About this audiobook
Two thousand years ago, two men in white asked eleven stunned disciples a question that the church has never fully answered: "Why do you stand looking into heaven?"
Then came the promise. This same Jesus will return the same way He left (Acts 1:11).
He argues that this is no side issue for prophecy hobbyists. Jesus gave an entire discourse on the Mount of Olives. Paul wrote to grieving Thessalonians about it. Peter used it to steady persecuted believers. John, exiled on Patmos, received a whole book on it. For the early church it was oxygen.
So why does the modern pulpit go years without touching it?
The King Is Coming follows the full line of events in twelve chapters:
The signs of the times, and what Jesus said and did not say about the date
The falling away, the rise of false christs and false prophets, and the lukewarm church of Laodicea
The rapture, with the pretribulation, midtribulation, and posttribulation views stated fairly
The great tribulation, the Antichrist, and Daniel's seventieth week
Israel and the plan of God, from the nation's return to the land through 1948
The glorious return, the judgment seat of Christ (2 Corinthians 5:10), the great white throne (Revelation 20:11 to 15), and the new heaven and new earth
The book is built on sources that have stood the test of time. They include Augustine's City of God, Matthew Henry (1706 to 1721), Isaac Newton's Observations upon the Prophecies of Daniel (1733), Adam Clarke (1831), John Nelson Darby (1867), the Scofield Reference Bible (1909), R. A. Torrey (1913), A. W. Pink (1923), and the sermons of Charles Spurgeon.
It carries no countdown and no chart that expires. Pastors will find a ready framework for a sermon series. Worshippers will find a reason to stay awake.
The final chapter asks what a ready and watchful church looks like on an ordinary Tuesday.

About the author
Josiah Everstone writes on the return of Christ for believers who want conviction without panic. He holds that the second coming is one of the central hopes of the Christian faith, and that the church grows weak when it stops preaching it.
His work stays close to Scripture and to the writers who handled it before him, from Augustine, Matthew Henry, and Isaac Newton to Darby, Torrey, Pink, and Spurgeon. He states the main views fairly, refuses to set dates, and writes for pastors and worshippers alike.
The King Is Coming is his call to prepare for the return of Christ.
