About This Book

The sermon argues that prophetic Scripture is intended for believers to study and that the New Testament teaches a future, bodily return of Christ. It surveys biblical texts to support a visible coming like the ascension, rejects attempts to fix a precise date, and insists the event should inspire constant watchfulness rather than fatalism or complacency. The speaker distinguishes the church's being caught up to meet the Lord from the later judgment of the world, emphasizes resurrection and reunion as sources of comfort, and urges holy readiness and active service while waiting for that blessed appearing.

About the Author

Moody, Dwight Lyman portrait

Dwight Lyman Moody

Dwight Lyman Moody (1837-1899) was a prominent American evangelist and publisher known for his influential role in the revivalist movement of the late 19th century. He founded the Moody Church in Chicago and established the Moody Bible Institute, which continues to educate and train Christian leaders today. Moody's works often focus on practical Christian living and biblical teachings, with notable titles such as "Bible Characters" and "Men of the Bible." His engaging anecdotes and illustrations, as seen in "Moody's Anecdotes and Illustrations," have made his sermons accessible and impactful, contributing significantly to evangelical literature.
