Summary:
In Matthew 24, after Jesus gave His disciples a profound, detailed description of what will happen prior to His second coming, He urged them to "keep watch, because you do not know on what day your Lord will come" (verse 42). So as we seek to follow His commands today, what are we to watch for? Foreshadows explores 12 major trends that point toward Jesus' ever-nearing return--and that illuminate how God's faithfulness, wisdom, and sovereignty are on display all around us. Foreshadows will equip you to recognize the signs pointing to the end times while inspiring you to take hope in the knowledge God holds our chaotic world firmly within His control. Behind the scenes, He is at work--setting the stage for Christ's return and the glorious eternity that will follow! -- Adapted from the Amazon.com description.
