Kingdom Come


Kingdom Come is the 16th and final book in the Left Behind series by Jerry B. Jenkins and Tim Lahaye. Kingdom Come takes place in what the Bible calls the "Millennial Reign," when Jesus has come to earth once again to dwell, and will reign for one thousand years until the final battle with Satan.

All of the characters from the entire Left Behind series have been reunited, a few having survived the Tribulation, and many of them having been martyrs and now having "glorified bodies." Buck, and Chloe Williams have begun a ministry for the children orphaned after the Tribulation. The ministry is for the purpose of ministering to those born after the return of Jesus, because, even though he literally dwells on earth, the Bible clearly states that many will still reject the power of God. Kingdom Come interprets what this may actually look like, as those who defy God amass an army so large it cannot be numbered, and God and his followers prepare for the fulfillment of the prophecy.

Reading Kingdom Come was very emotional for me. Reading the Left Behind series has really helped me personally in my own walk with Christ, and I have received a greater understanding and awe of God. Kingdom Come is the last book, and I'm sorry to see this wonderful series end. I highly recommend the entire Left Behind s
eries to anyone wanting to learn more about Christ and his love.
