Jesus Is Coming
The return of Jesus Christ, the rapture, the second coming.We beg of you to "kiss the Son," lest ye perish from the way. Blessed are all they that put their trust in Him. What shall it profit you if you gain the whole world and lose your own soul? He is coming, and we know neither the day, nor the hour, when He may come. What if He should come now? Would you be found of Him in peace," or would you be left behind to endure the terrible things which shall come upon the world, while the church is with Christ in the air, and be made at His appearing to mourn and pray to the mountains and rocks to hide you from His face?

This book is a classic for a reason. Reason being: it's a classic. Read it and learn, be blessed and be edified.

Very insightful considering it was written before rebirth of Israel. The quantity of relevant Bible references makes it one of the clearest commentaries on Bible prophecy I've read in quite some time.

Old school premillennialism at its best. Written in 1908 and still an exciting and comprehensive book today. The Kregel edition is the best one currently in print. Although the “foreword“ by John Walvoord is rather short, and does not add anything of value.

This book is highly praised by David Regan, founder of Lamb & Lion Ministries. Mr. Blackstone, Regan says, was the Hal Lindsey of his day. This book was a huge bestseller.
I picked up this book essentially for free on Amazon. I am not as enthusiastic as Dr. Regan and others. Perhaps this is because I have been spoiled by other prophesy books such as by (recently) Brett Gillette and Mr. Lindsay (though not equally among his works). I found Mr. Blackstone's book a bit jumbled. I slogged through it.
Although I did not share Dr. Regan's (et al.) enthusiasm, there are some diamonds among the rough. The most fascinating portion was at the end when Blackstone examines the prophesy of the regathering of Israel. This book was written in the latter part of the 19th century. It is an intriguing look at Israel at the time. He describes the anti-Semitism that was present and would ultimately play a significant role in the rise of Hitler and the Third Reich. Mr. Blackstone was spot on in the context of Israel in light of prophecy. This was the cream of the book.
Although I was a bit disappointed in this book, I can't deny that Mr. Blackstone was on to something. However, I thought the presentation lack some continuity. It seemed like a compilation of essays than a unified work.

I'm salty that I was punished for getting ahead on work by having to read more of this book than absolutely necessary. Also, killed a lot of trees printing this thing out. I will say that this provided more information about themes I've been seeing throughout the semester, so I suppose it wasn't a total waste of time...
