Along with all Christians of all ages, William Grier presents the return of Jesus – his advent, his second coming – as a personal, visible, sudden and unexpected, glorious and triumphant act.
Of the three currents of interpretation of end-time events – postmillennialist, premillennialist and amillennialist – he defends the latter, the majority in the history of the Church, since the Fathers and among the Reformers, as being more consistent with the scriptural given. . In two chapters on the interpretation of prophecy, he shows, in an irenic manner and even in the polemic, that a literalist reading does not correspond to that made by the authors of the New Testament themselves, who affirm clearly that many of the predictions of the Old Testament were fulfilled, although in a spiritual sense. Reviewing the teaching of the Gospels, the Epistles and the Apocalypse, the author pays particular attention to the meaning of the “thousand years” of Revelation 20.
This small volume, which condenses the fruit of numerous in-depth studies, will guide anyone wishing to find a clear exposition of a doctrine which is the foundation of Christian hope.
