The Coming One: What Scripture Teaches About the End Times

Is the Lord Jesus Christ really coming back to earth again in person to complete His glorious plan of redemption for humanity—with believers ruling and reigning with Him?
In this Christian classic, legendary author and pastor A. B. Simpson provides a comprehensive teaching on a topic that has been debated and theorized throughout history: the second coming of Jesus Christ. Among the topics Simpson addresses are...

• The premillennial versus postmillennial theories
• The church age
• The world powers
• The plan for Israel
• The false prophet and the antichrist
• The great tribulation
• The millennial reign
• Judgment
• The new heaven and earth
• Signs of the end times

As time grows short, it has never been more crucial for believers to give careful attention to God's future plan as laid out in Scripture. As we prepare personally for that glorious day, we must also invest our lives in helping those who are lost.
 

Albert Benjamin Simpson (1843–1919) was born to parents of Scottish descent and grew to become one of the most respected Christian figures in American evangelicalism. A much-sought-after speaker and pastor, Simpson founded a major evangelical denomination, published more than seventy books, edited a weekly magazine for nearly forty years, and wrote many gospel songs and poems.
The first few years of his life were spent in relative simplicity on Prince Edward Island, Canada, where his father, an elder in the Presbyterian church, worked as a shipbuilder and eventually became involved in the export/import industry. To avoid an approaching business depression, the family moved to Ontario, where the younger Simpson accepted Christ as his Savior at age fifteen and was subsequently “called by God to preach” the gospel of Christ.
Simpson went on to pastor New York’s 13th Street Presbyterian Church. However, in 1881, he resigned and began to hold independent evangelistic meetings in New York City. A year later, the Gospel Tabernacle was built, and Simpson began to turn his vision toward establishing an organization for missions. Simpson helped to form and lead two evangelization societies: The Christian Alliance and The Evangelical Missionary Alliance. As thousands joined these two groups, Simpson sensed a need for the two to become one. In 1897, they became The Christian and Missionary Alliance.
