One Thousand Years with Jesus - Ervin, Matthew Bryce

. .

Résumé :
The time is coming when the world will be radically changed for the better. It will last for a thousand years, bookended by resurrections, first of the just and then of the unjust. Satan will be chained in the abyss, no longer free to influence the nations. The saints will reign alongside the King of kings, Jesus Christ. This is a time that will begin after the return of the Messiah and end with Satan's total defeat and the judgment of sinners. It is the very culmination of history, a transition away from the fallen world into the perfection of the eternal state. This is a time known as the Millennium and the Messianic Kingdom. An understanding of this critical age makes the Bible come together as one metanarrative. It helps tell the story of the Scriptures. One of Matthew Ervin's unique qualities is his ability to synopsize many difficult truths into brief, logical, understandable points. In?One Thousand Years with Jesus,?he has provided a comprehensive study of the millennium and its related events.?As you read this book, you will again realize that God has a plan and is in total control, all for His glory! --Mike Gibbons, Lead Pastor, Candlewood Community?Church, Land 'O Lakes, FL Even a cursory study of church history demonstrates how quickly Pre-millennialism can be lost to the Body of Christ. This historical warning is especially true today as the church seems to be embracing mysticism and man's philosophies in lieu of the biblical text. Bible-based literature is constantly needed to direct the church back to the text in defense of Pre-millennialism. Ervin has done just that in this book. --Andy Woods, Senior Pastor, Sugar Land Bible Church, Sugar Land, TX More than any book I have seen, in this book Ervin explains the details of what Jesus' coming earthly millennial reign will be like. By giving justice to what both the Old and New Testaments teach on this important issue, Ervin offers a biblical and exciting picture of the millennium. If one wants to contemplate Jesus' kingdom from a consistent hermeneutic without layers of spiritualization and reinterpretation that so often plague this topic, this is the book to get! --Michael J. Vlach, Professor of Theology, The Master's Seminary As a devoted Messianic Jew, I was so encouraged to read how beautifully the future reign of our Messiah is based upon God's treasured promises to my people.?In the midst of such powerfully written words of advanced academia, Ervin's depth is far-reaching and his love for the Jewish people is greatly evident. --Alyse Nicole Merritt, Writer/Director, Tender Shoot Films Rev.
