Hastening the Coming of the Messiah Paperback - 2003

From the publisher

As the drums of war beat in the Middle East, God's chosen people are at the center of the world's focus. But events in Israel are not simply newsworthy; they relate significantly to the return of Jesus Christ. Johannes Facius challenges the church's understanding of her role in the last days. Instead of passively awaiting the Lord's return, believers can and should be active in helping fulfill the purposes God has already revealed for these days. "The New Testament," Derek Prince notes in the foreword, "teaches that excited anticipation of Christ's return to earth should motivate all our Christian activities."Hastening the Coming of the Messiah urges readers to help fulfill certain biblical conditions necessary to usher in the return of Christ. Key to this plan is for Gentiles to help accomplish God's purposes for the Jews. Israel, Facius reminds readers, lies at the heart of God's saving purpose for the nations.Timely and intriguing, this book offers guidance for intercessors, a blueprint for participation in God's aims for the Jews, insight into bringing Jews into the kingdom, and, overall, a personal manifesto for each Christian to help hasten the Messiah's return.
