Most people approach the study of prophecy from the aspect of "when." But what needs to guide our study is what Jesus had to say about His Second Coming.
He gave two signs of His return-"the abomination of desolation spoken of by the prophet Daniel" and "as the days of Noah were so shall the coming of the Son of Man be."
In this book Richard J. "Dick" Hill, who has spent a lifetime in Christian ministry, explores how regeneration allows someone to be born into God's kingdom. He observes that the seed of the gospel is absolutely necessary for new life (new genesis).
The author notes that not only are we born into the kingdom, but we are baptized into the King by the Holy Spirit at the same moment. The church is within the kingdom of God, but the church is not the kingdom of God.
God has brought Jew and Gentile together into one new man, the church. This mystery that was revealed by the apostle Paul was never mentioned in the Old Testament. God's church will be snatched away in the fullness of time, and the dispensation of God's grace for the Gentiles will be complete.
