Creation and the Second Coming

by Henry M. Morris

In Creation and the Second Coming, Dr. Henry Morris delivers a unique perspective of the Bible's end-time prophecies by connecting them to Genesis. Morris, a renowned Christian apologist, Bible commentator and Creation scientist, reveals many of the evidences of the last days are directly related to God's purposes in creation and our rebellion against these purposes.

This Bible study resource presents a beautiful picture of God's character and plans revealing a larger, Genesis to Revelation narrative. Using Old and New Testament Scriptures, Morris shares what went wrong in Eden and at Babel and a well-reasoned explanation of what will happen during the Tribulation. Investigate his assessment of the millennial kingdom and New Jerusalem and how it relates to the foundational chapters of the Bible.

Learn how evolution, Darwinism, slavery, apostasy, occultism, and even science and technology correspond to the end-time events. The Bible's prophetic writers give key signs of the return of Christ, and in this classic work Dr. Henry M. Morris reveals how each sign is an outgrowth of evolutionary humanism or pantheism.

The earth is groaning for Christ's arrival. This distress is seen in Middle East conflicts, new age religions and attempts to establish a new world order. This Bible commentary offering scientific, historical and biblical evidence delivers "Aha's" to aid the Church in preparing for Christ's coming and prioritizing the Great Commission.

Reviews

[Alan Fuller · Rating 1 out of 5]

Judging from the title, I expected the book would have some mention of urzeit-endzeit typology, a term drawn attention to by Herman Gunkel in the 19th century. However, Morris is a Creationist and Dispensationalist who insists on the literal interpretation of scripture. He sees most religions as based on pantheistic evolutionism, even though those religions have their own creation myths.

"The great geological formations and their fossil graveyards testify plainly of the great Flood." (p. 8) Kindle Edition.

One would think that if these things were so plain in the geologic formations, most geologists would agree with him. Morris is not a geologist or theologian. He was a hydraulics engineer. He believes that World War I was the beginning of birth pains, and earthquakes in Japan and China confirm this (p.24). Babylon built by Sadaam Hussein is Babylon spoken of in Bible prophecy.

"The whole tenor of Scripture looks toward the ultimate restoration of Israel as God’s chosen nation..." (p. 56).

Most Christians might believe that the cross of Christ is the "whole tenor" of scripture.

Amazing, great book. Talks about the wars and some other events that happen before the second coming. Would recommend it to all believers wanting to learn more about the tribulation, rapture, antichrist, second coming and more to do with the end times. Should be called creation and the end times.

Excellent explanation of Biblical references to to the end times! The signs are there... come Lord Jesus!

Creation and the Second Coming, by Henry Morris, is an interesting overview of some history in light of the prophesied second coming of Christ. As Morris states, "many signs being fulfilled today that tell us Christ is coming soon." I appreciated how Morris demonstrated the relation between creation and the second coming of Christ, though I do wish that more was written about creation specifically. All in all, a worthwhile read.
