For many Christians, the end of the millennium represents the time of Christ’s Second Coming, which will usher in a “new heaven and a new earth.” Of course, there are as many interpretations of the book of Revelation as there are Christians. With his characteristic humour and relaxed style, popular author Lucado (Just Like Jesus) offers a brief survey of the various opinions related to the Second Coming.

Some Christians and many non-Christians fear the Second Coming because of the biblical and popular images of separation and destruction. Others are so obsessed with the Second Coming that they have tried to pinpoint the exact date on which it will happen, so that they can be ready. Based on his interpretation of Revelation, Lucado contends that the day of Christ’s coming will be one of reckoning, redemption, rejuvenation and rewards.
