When Jesus Returns

David Pawson dedicated his life to teaching Gods Word. There’s so much to unpack and learn from his book. I highly recommend it

A clear exposition of last-days events to come. Pawson is a clear-thinking theologian and pastor. He explains aspects of the Second Coming in terms that anyone can understand. Those who are devoted to a pre-tribulational rapture view will not like his explanation. He dismisses the secret rapture idea as false.A very worthwhile read.

It is amazing what you can learn by reading what the the Bible says instead of what you would like it to say. How the pretrib rapture is based on no verses at all that show it happening before the trib. The killer of course is how the righteous dead are raised to come with Christ after the trib is ending. Pretribbers agree the righteous dead come at the rapture, but can only sputter in frustration when they are shown that Revelation puts it at the end of the tribulation in undeniable terms. This is not just a debate point. It is far better to be prepared for the tribulation than to caught unaware.

Brother Pawson has written an wonderful book, accurate, solid in the argumentation and almost exhaustiv in the presentation of the different schools of interpretation of the end times.Yes Jesus returns and we should prepare ourself dayly? Why? Find the answers in that book.For another perspective, check the materials from Mike Bickle and IHOP Kansas City.New International Version (©2011) (Revelation 5:4 )I wept and wept because no one was found who was worthy to open the scroll or look inside.

On the topic of the endtimes Pawson gives an excellent primer on the subject. Before teaching his opinions like they are Bible, he gives an overview of some of the most common views. After reviewing the views he tries to break them down and highlight strengths and weaknesses. Finally he presents his views on the topic. This has been my favorite single book on the topic of the endtimes yet! I read it at the recommendation of an expert on the subject who said it was the number one resource he would recommend. I was not disappointed.

When Jesus Returns presents a clear and easily understandable analysis of the several different commonly held interpretations of the meaning of Revelation. Whatever are your views of the Rapture, the millennium or the visions in Revelation, this book will help you understand why you believe what you do – or may even change your thinking about them.

I do not recommend this book. The author begins by backing up what he says with scripture, which is a good thing to do, however sometimes he takes the verses out of context or uses his interpretation of these scriptures. That's all the first chapter is. The rest of the book is just him reiterating what he's already said. So if you have your own ideas of what will happen when Jesus comes back, I suggest a different book to help you understand what the Bible says about it. Or better still, just read the Bible with lots of prayer so God Himself will help you understand the Scriptures.

Have only begun to work through David Pawson's fine work, but already find it as compelling as his online messages. Highly recommend.

I am still reading it. It is mince meat, so you have to take your time when reading it, because it connects everything in the Word of God about Jesus’ second coming! It is revealing the whole picture of why Jesus is returning to planet earth, and that is not only for His bride-the church, but to reign on earth and then make everything new! To put everything right!

Clear and well argued. Everything Pawson says is backed by by bible references and I found myself looking up most of them, and reaching the same conclusions he does (apart from 1 minor point: I think Derek Prince's view that the white horse of Revelation 6 is the conquest by the gospel is more convincing than Pawson's more usual idea that it's War).Before I read this book I hadn't thought clearly about end time things, just taken on the assumptions of Christians around me in a vague way. But now I find a clear belief about the future of this earth and the new heaven and earth, and our place in them, gives me a new perspective on the world, myself and my life today.

If you are serious about reading a detailed summary of almost everything that has been written about Revelation, then this is one of the books you should not miss. Absolutely brilliant as everything else from the same author.

found it a bit "stodgy" and I did n't agree with certain of his views, but....trial and error

Interesting read
