description: "The Glorious Appearing" is based on the explanation that Jesus gave to his disciples regarding The Parable of the Weeds (Tares) (Matthew, Chapter 13). The book shows that the righteous and the unrighteous will live together until the end of the age. At that time, Jesus will come with his angels and he will judge the living and the dead (Matt. 13:36-43; Matt. 25:31-46; 2 Tim. 4:1). The righteous will be raptured into the Kingdom of God - eternal life (Matt. 25:34; Col. 3:4) and and the unrighteous will descend into the eternal fire - eternal punishment (Matt. 25:41).The judgment at the Second Coming of Christ will end this age and usher in the eternal age (Matt. 25:46). Christ will reign for ever and ever (Rev. 11:15). The book shows that Historic Premillennialism (two future resurrections and two judgments), Dispensational Premillennialism (three future resurrections and three judgments) and Postmillennialism ( a thousand years of peace and righteousness before the Second Coming of Christ) are not scriptural. The book proves that the thousand years recorded in the Book of Revelation (20:1-7) are not literal but symbolic and they are being fulfilled now. The thousand years are discussed fully in Chapter 8. When the Rapture and Descent take place at the Second Coming of Christ(Matt. 13:36-43; Matt. 25:31-46; Matt. 11:23-24; Luke 10:14-15; 2 Tim. 4:1) there will be no people in natural bodies. Eternal life and eternal punishment (Matt. 25:46) makes that absolutely clear. There will be no humanity capable of going into a millennial kingdom to procreate and to live as we are living now. "The Glorious Appearing" is faithful to the Scriptures. As you read the book, you will discover what the prophets, the apostles and Jesus taught about the end of the age and the Kingdom of God.
