With the approach of this century’s end comes a heightened interest in the prophecies of Daniel and Revelation and a plethora of apocalyptic predictions. Some are complicated. Most are silly. And a surprising number of interpretations leave out the key Character in this cosmic drama-Jesus.
Most Christians, even Adventists, deal with Christ either as the Lamb at His first coming, the Lion at His second, or both, but they miss His crucial role in between.
Between the Lamb and the Lion, by Clifford Goldstein, answers the question, What is Jesus doing now? It looks at Christ’s role as High Priest in the heavenly sanctuary as depicted in Revelation and brings crystal clarity to the concept of a two-phased, or two-apartment, ministry.
In characteristic Goldstein style, this book vibrates with a passion for Jesus and shows that His ministry in the heavenly sanctuary today in no way conflicts with the cross. It is, in fact, the very means by which the Lamb applies His victory there to our lives and prepares us to meet the Lion when he comes again. |
