Book Description

Daniel 12:9-10 instructs us that the wise of only one generation will be able to fully understand end-times prophecies. That final generation must come to this understanding in order to be properly prepared and motivated for what they will need to endure. It is imperative that our eschatology be both biblical and contemporary, For as we draw nearer and nearer To The end-times, greater clarity in understanding apocalyptic prophecies should come. In Advancing the Watch, Pastor Kirk Wesselink presents a groundbreaking look at prophecy rooted in a thoroughly consistent, conservative exposition of relative Bible passages. He maintains the dispensational, pre-tribulational, and pre-millennial foundation, but honestly challenges their traditional view of many prophetic texts. The reader is carefully instructed in how to avoid prophetic pitfalls through a straightforward primer on interpretive rules for prophecy and key foundational principles. The work builds on research stretching back over one hundred years but is willing to engage in 'constructive demolition' to advance the Church's prophecy watch. A new generation will be challenged, trained, and encouraged with a powerful, up-to-the-minute look at the fullness of God's prophetic Word by Advancing the Watch. Kirk Wesselink has been a pastor for twenty-four years and has established two new churches in New Mexico. He is a graduate of Cedarville University and Grand Rapids Baptist Seminary. He has preached across much of the country as well as internationally in conferences, camps, and ministry seminars.
