A treasury of religious thought and faith--places the symbolic world of the Bible in its original context.

J. J. M. Roberts was graduated from Harvard University, taught at The Johns Hopkins University, and then spent the bulk of his teaching career at Princeton Theological Seminary, where he influenced and was well loved by several generations of students. Here, 21 colleagues and former students contribute essays that reflect Roberts’ core interests.

The 4,2,1 day story of this world is the best kept secret in the Bible. Not anymore. A day is for a thousand years for the Lord. The Old Testament period is four thousand years (4 days). The New Testament period of grace of Jesus is two thousand years (2 days) and Christ's rule on earth is for one thousand years (1 day). The marker on the ground is AD 28, the year Jesus died. Just before his coming, there is seven years of Great Tribulation. Even Mona Lisa will lose her smile in those terrible days. Ironically the world is getting in the groove just to do that. But for us, the Mighty God appeared in Sinai and spoke to the people. Now his son is to appear soon as the everlasting king with his saints to rule over all the Earth, from Jerusalem for thousand years. The King of Zion is coming, bringing glories of Zion to the Earth. As for me my fervent hope is that I will be found of him to be among his saints at his return. God bless you all, Amen.
