When God Intervenes: The Beginning of the End is an examination of God's Day of the LORD. How does the Church Age end? What is the Beginning of the End? What role does the rapture of the church play in these events? God has committed Himself to intervene in the affairs of mankind to glorify and magnify His own Holy Name. The Bible refers to that time of divine intervention as the Day of the LORD. The entire world faces a time of great change, chaos, and unheaval. A time of cosmic disturbances, war, famine, pestilence, and earthquakes looms on the horizon. It is a time of contrast between God's judgment of sin through divine wrath and God's reward for those who walk with Him by faith and who bask in God's love, mercy, and grace. It is a time of contrast between the Day of the LORD and the Day of Christ. It is a time of contrast between the nations of the world and the nation of Israel. Israel becomes the target of the world. It is a time that begins suddenly as a great cataclysmic metamorphosis between the present Church Age and the coming Messianic Kingdom. When God breaks His heavenly silence and intervenes on earth, the Day of the LORD begins with the Beginning of Sorrows. What is the Beginning of Sorrows? How will it affect every person on the face of the earth? What Biblical war marks God's dynamic intervention in the affairs of the world? How do the pieces of the prophetic puzzle fit together at the Beginning of the End? How does the Beginning of End compare to the End of the End? When God Intervenes: The Beginning of the End reveals groundbreaking new insights into the understanding of God's Day of the LORD and the Beginning of Sorrows.
