One of the most important things about Rod Parsleys new book, The Finale, is the second chapter, Untangling the Timeline. So many people struggle with the Book of Revelation and the end times, but there is no need to. One of the keys is the timeline. Anything from the heart and pen of Rod Parsley is a must-read.

Pastor Rod Parsleys books are such easy and delightful reads, and this third book in his trilogy about Jesus is no exception. The Finale begins with fascinating history that sets the stage for the final great events that accompany the return of Jesus Christ to the earth after His ascension to heaven. Parsley establishes a timeline based on certain specifics the scriptures mention that will hopefully cause us to do more thinking about end-time events than fighting over how and when they will occur. Read, enjoy, get preparedit will soon unfold.

In The Finale my dear friend Rod Parsley does a masterful job of outlining and explaining the events leading to the return of our Lord Jesus Christ. Its profound enough for the most studious scholar, yet simple enough for the new believer. Best of all it is a no-nonsense, straight-ahead approach to eschatology. This is a much-needed and long-anticipated book that should be read by everyone who is looking forward to our Lords glorious, soon-coming return!

In The Finale, a worthy successor to his previous works, The Cross and Gone, Rod Parsley captures the essence of eschatology. With refreshing insight and clear-headed reasoning, Parsley explains the events of the end times in terms everyone can understand. Christ is the victor, the plan of God rules supreme, and we, the believers, are the beneficiaries.

Contents
IN THE EPIC conclusion to his trilogy detailing the three most significant events in the history of the world, Pastor Rod Parsley presents The Finale: One World... One Ruler... One Reign....
The biblical promise of the return of Christ is and has been widely accepted throughout Christianity, but many believers harbor fear rather than hope regarding latter-day prophecy. The Finale helps one trade fear for faith, replaces concern with comfort and confidence, as Pastor Parsley passionately examines the truth of Gods Word about Christs return.
Understanding Bible prophecy can, and must, affect the way we live. In Pastor Parsleys own words, This is a road map for living victoriously and fruitfully in the volatile days leading up to our glorious departure. It is a guide for experiencing peace in the midst of our raging cultural storms. This is not simply a book of facts but a reflection of his personal, prayer-filled study of the Word and end-time events and what it means for each of us today.

Cana, Galilee, 4 BC
FOR WHAT MAY be the twenty-third time this day, Avigail moves to the tiny window of her fathers house and intently scans the horizon. Her deep brown almond-shaped eyes squint against a reddening sun now lowering itself onto the fertile, rolling Galilean hills. The earthy scents of freshly cut grain and livestock waft through the opening as she seeks any sign of movement in the distanceperhaps a telltale cloud of rising dust from the road just beyond a distant knollanything that might indicate the approach of an entourage.
