Foreshadows: 12 Megaclues That Jesus' Return Is Nearer Than Ever

by Steve Miller

Overview

"This book helps us to interpret current events in the light of biblical prophecy, reminding us that whether the return of Christ is near or far, the stage is being set for His arrival. Are we ready?"
—Erwin W. Lutzer, bestselling author
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. As you read, you will…

• identify occurrences in today’s world that align with specific end-times prophecies outlined in the Bible   
• discover how to walk “not as unwise but as wise, making the best use of the time, because the days are evil” (Ephesians 5:15-16)
• grow in your trust and reverence of God, looking with confidence and wonder toward the future He has promised to those who are His children

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!

What People are Saying About This

From the Publisher

“The rise of totalitarianism, global disruptions and resets, assaults on truth, invasive surveillance, growing hostilities in the Middle East—what do all these have in common? They are all foreshadows of the coming of Jesus Christ. This book helps us to interpret current events in the light of biblical prophecy, reminding us that whether the return of Christ is near or far, the stage is being set for His arrival. The curtain has been lifted, the drama has begun, and we await the King to walk onto the stage and wrap up the play. Are we ready?”
—Erwin W. Lutzer, bestselling author of We Will Not Be Silenced

“Steve Miller gets my highest commendation for writing a biblical, thorough, and fascinating book about the foreshadows—the current trends in our world today—that serve as early indicators of what prophetic Scripture says will occur in the end times. The eye-opening—sometimes stunning—evidence Miller provides makes this book a prophetic tour de force. It is unquestionably the most important prophecy book of the year.”
—Dr. Ron Rhodes, author of The End Times in Chronological Order
