If you have read the Left Behind series, Tim LaHaye, Ed Hindson, or other "rapture" heavy books, this one by Jeff Kinley is repeats the same ideas and arguments using Jesus' teachings. The "Rapture" theory (of multiple descensions of Christ at different times in the future) is assumed to be true (it is not explicitly seen or read from the Bible- John 14:1-3 is discussed on pg 251-257, but still, those limited verses describe one descension of Christ, not multiple at different times). This rapture assumption is then used to interpret Jesus' teachings. This causes some issues. First, it presents Jesus descending at a rapture before the tribulation, and then after going back to heaven for a few years, Jesus descends again after the tribulation- ideas that contradict Jesus Himself who said He would return/descend one more time in power and glory (Matt 24:29-31) to gather all saints from earth and heaven at one time (Mark 13:27). Even worse, Kinley reiterates over and over that the Olivet Discourse was meant for Jews (76, 84, 120-121, 143, 154-155, 177, 184-185, 248-249) during the tribulation, not Christians of "the church age" that include Gentiles or Christian Jews because they will be "raptured" (page 240). Imagine being told that Jesus' clearest teachings about the end times were not directed to you (a non-Jew), like when Kinley says on page 187, "when these things begin to happen, the Jews [not Christians] will look up because their redemption draws near (Luke 21:28)." Wasn't Jesus' gospel and teachings meant to be preached to all races and nations? The "rapture" doctrine tends to segregate saints into different groups, like "church age believers" (pg 141, 250) versus "tribulation saints" (pg 92, 137, 187), even splitting the one final "last trumpet" into two - but there is no such thing as two "last" trumpets (see pic on pg 157). Lastly, page 261 says it all: instead of "looking to, anticipating, hoping, and waiting for" JESUS, Kinley replaces Jesus with "it," "the rapture." So while this book claims to discuss the End according to Jesus, it is focused more on propagating the "rapture" and written for those already in the club.I was initially excited to read this book as my PHD dissertation is on trusting Jesus words about the end times (which I will finish next May). I thought this book would trust Jesus' words, but instead, it trusts man's ideas about a "rapture" and uses it to reject or reinterpret Jesus' teachings. If you are a follower of Jesus, trust Him and His words. He did not lie. He did not make mistakes. He told you everything you need to know about the end, and Peter, Paul, John, and the rest of the New Testament agreed with Jesus and repeated what He taught. He will return once "after" the tribulation, at the end, at the last day (John 6). But each Christian must make a choice: trust Jesus' words, or trust man's theories.

Jeff has done a great job of making things about the end times easy to understand, just as Jesus intended them to be.
