William E. Blackstone joyously announces the coming of the savior Lord Jesus Christ in this inspirational work of Christian history and exhortation.
The central pillar of this text is one of emphasis: Blackstone wanted to inform all Christians that Jesus Christ would return again. However, this book also contains numerous reflections on the previous manifestations of Jesus within the ancient scriptures. Direct quotes from the Gospel are gathered together in support of various assertions, such as the impending resurrection of Jesus and the founding of Israel as a nation state.
The dispensationalist study throughout Jesus Is Coming makes it a valuable reference manual. Indeed, by the modern day it has been translated into over four dozen languages, having claimed an appreciative readership in the millions since first publication. The book formed a crucial part of Blackstone's campaigns for a Jewish state; a phenomena he considered supported by numerous passages in the Holy Bible.
Blackstone spent many years working as a messenger and representative of the Lord in the Christian organizations; first as a member of the Christian Commission during American Civil War. After the war he proved a capable businessman who prospered in real estate. However, a sudden spiritual awakening one day prompted Blackstone to return to Christian work. He duly became one of the USA's best-known evangelists during the early 20th century.
This copy of Jesus Is Coming is complete with all scriptural references, which are appended to the text in brackets. Additionally, the publisher has been certain to include the intricate diagram of Chapter Eight, which illustrates the author's ideas.
