The Last Days According to Jesus

When Did Jesus Say He Would Return?

©1998

In The Last Days according to Jesus, respected theologian R. C. Sproul focuses on what Jesus himself taught about the last days and the timing of his return. Sproul answers critics who claim Christ's teaching was "defective" and addresses several key questions regarding the last days.

"Provides an accessible glimpse into territory that is unfamiliar to many."

---Ft. Worth Star-Telegram

"A Valuable analysis of higher critical theories regarding the Scriptures, especially the eschatological teaching of Jesus."

---Bibliotheca Sacra

"A must read.... Regardless of your own view of eschatology, The Last Days according to Jesus is a valuable book that presents a controversial view which is spreading rapidly within the Reformed community. You owe it to the church and to yourself to spend time interacting with Sproul on these critical questions."

---New Horizons

"In his characteristically forthright, compelling, and perspicuous style, R. C. Sproul provides us with an important work.... Sproul's careful exegesis and logical precision render the skeptics' assault on Jesus' credibility null and void, while placing in doubt the conclusions of many contemporary evangelical prophecy enthusiasts."

---Kenneth L. Gentry, author of Before Jerusalem Fell: Dating the Book of Revelation; professor, Bahnsen Theological Seminary

HISTORICAL
SIGNIFICANCE


 

"During the Middle Ages, Josephus was the most widely read ancient author in Europe.. Josephus' literary influence had no equals, with the sole exception of the Bible."

Flavius Josephus, a Jewish priest and Pharisee, was put in command of the national resistance in Galilee at the time of Israel's revolt against Rome.  When he was captured at Jotapata; his life was spared upon his prediction to rival Vespasian, that the Roman general would soon become emperor.  Upon the fulfillment of this prophecy shortly thereafter, he was commissioned to provide his captors with a history of the Jewish people, although he initially wrote a history of the Roman-Jewish war suited for both a Roman and a Jewish audience.   His works, disputed though they may be regard accuracy, are an indispensable source on the life and history in Roman Judea.

"The destruction of Jerusalem was more terrible than anything that the world has ever witnessed, either before or since. Even Titus seemed to see in his cruel work the hand of an avenging God." (C.H. Spurgeon)
