Reseña del libro "Watch!: Essential Information Jesus Gave His Followers about His Return (en Inglés)"
Time was running out; just days before His crucifixion Jesus revealed crucial information about His Second Coming. This information was and is for His followers throughout time. He knew that many would mistakenly look at natural disasters, diseases, and human caused conflicts as signs. To address this, Jesus detailed unmistakable observable signs that will precede The End of the Age. In addition to these signs, He warned of coming deception and severe persecution, commanding those who follow Him to Watch! What were the specific warnings of Jesus? What are the observable signs that happen before the rapture of the Church? Will followers of Jesus suffer persecution? Is there a difference between "tribulation" and God's wrath? Have these prophetic events already happened or are they still in the future or both? How should Christians treat biblical prophecy? Why is it important for every Christian to know about The End of the Age and the Second Coming of Jesus? Doug Hooley, author of "Watch!", combines his unique investigative and critical thinking experiences as a 25-year veteran of the Criminal Justice profession and years of Bible prophecy study to discuss the answers to these questions. In a fact-finding yet engaging approach he comprehensively examines Jesus' End of the Age instruction given on the Mount of Olives; the teaching known as The Olivet Discourse. There is a significant gap existing in the Church today between those that down play or want nothing to do with Bible prophecy concerning the Second Coming of Jesus, and those that are perpetually excited about seeing prophecies "fulfilled every day." Jesus had clear direction for both ends of this spectrum: Watch! Watch! is not just another sensationalistic, "end-times," non-fiction work that superimposes today's headlines over the top of Bible prophecy. Nor does Watch! attempt to identify any particular rock under which the future Antichrist may be hiding. Watch! encourages a "Biblically watchful" approach while waiting for the return of Jesus: Gaining Knowledge of the scriptures, applying that knowledge in God given Wisdom to the world around us, and living as servants of Jesus with Expectancy of His return. This is the approach that will work for this generation, or endure for generations to come if the Lord should delay His return. One Beta Reader of Watch!, who has professionally edited over eighty books, stated, "I must say that I feel that there is more research in Watch! than any book I have read." Another Beta Reader who is involved in full-time ministry stated; "Congratulations on a book that has been a blessing to me personally in many ways and one that I believe will open the eyes of many so they understand the times, and will not be deceived, but be "watching biblically". The book encourages and motivates to continue studying the Word and have a close relationship with our Master & Lord." Watch!, is not only a book on Bible Prophecy and a sound exegesis of the Olivet Discourse, but it explores many deep issues of faith pertinent to all times. "...And what I say to you, I say to everyone; Watch!" -Jesus of Nazareth; Mark 13:37
