The future is revealed by understanding the past, where history and mystery are intertwined.
How can we know what the future holds if we don’t understand the past? This question is at the heart of this book as much of modern Christian culture has lost its roots. The crux of the book is derived from consistent biblical interpretation methods to find hard truths about our fate mentioned in the Bible.Topics include answers to these questions:
Why is the Christian Church so divided with many different denominations and independent Churches? Isn’t there just one true Church?
How did the modern Church get so far removed from early Church beliefs as clearly stated in the New Testament and by the early Church fathers?
What are the original prophecies in the Old Testament about the end times and how are they repeated in the New Testament?
Does the nation of Israel have anything to do with end times? What is the true meaning of the gospel and salvation?
These questions are answered by a thorough examination of various interpretation methods. This book explains six different biblical interpretation options then reveals a unified approach to understanding the Bible.
Books and articles by KJ Soze cut across various denomination lines to help find unity and clarity for those who may hold differing interpretations.
The Message for the Last Days provides detailed historical research of complex topics, such as end times and the afterlife, then condenses the results into a compact format to save time for those interested in biblical studies. The process is an integration of scriptural references, concordances, topical studies and commentaries into a unique package to help clarify the Bible’s message about the future.

The Message for the Last Days was given to me by Hidden Gems Books in exchange for a fair and honest review.
I have read many different books about God, about the Bible, and about end times. Many of those books are hard to read. They read like a professional journal when I need something more in layman’s terms. This book was different. I was able to follow along, not get lost in jargon that was over my head. I’m an educated person but theology was not my major.
The Message for the Last Days gives indepth explanations. The Bible verses are dissected and put in to terms more suited for this place in time. The book explains the how to differentiate between a verse referring to the physical realm, the heavenly realm, or the spiritual realm and how these can interact with one another. It also shows us how and why we need to let go of our preconceptions and wrong interpretations.

It is definitely an interesting book. I try to not judge people and give them the right to their opinion. In this book you will totally see the opinion of the author. Not all of what is mentioned is Biblical truth, however does allow you to voice your own opinion with what is written. Form your own opinion and read it.
I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
I am not sure if I agree with anything. this author has to offer in this book but it is different from a perspective that is interesting. I am not worried about being led astray because I know I am grounded in the scripture and through the spirit of the Lord I will not fall. I just caution any other Christian to prayerfully consider the words within this book.

This work proposes an objective analysis and an accurate interpretation of the message of the end times, contained in the Bible and represented by three fundamental events announced throughout the books that compose it: the second coming of Christ, the resurrection of the dead and the final judgment.
For this, the author utilizes an “objective interpretative method”, as he calls it, whose goal is the identification of the divine truth and its absolute meaning, so that there is no room for doubt or partial or individual interpretations. The proposed interpretation process is an objective integration of the references, concordances, studies on specific topics and existing comments on the subject, with the rigorous citation of the biblical texts —comparing the diverse translations accepted by the main Christian churches— and in attention to the different exegetical approaches that have existed in the history of the Christian religion.
K. L. Soze explains how the various interpretations —both figurative and literal ones— can affect the belief systems, and how these systems can affect, in turn, the interpretation. To maintain consistency, the author proposes to always use a system of literal interpretation, both for the passages written in a literal language and for those others that are written in a figurative language, based on the idea that they all speak of events that will occur literally in any of 3 possible kingdoms: the celestial, the spiritual or the earthly. He also considers that all the alliances contracted both in the Old Testament and in the New Testament must be fulfilled to the letter and that all biblical texts have full cohesion and concordance.
A book for the thinker about end times and what the Bible says about them.
This book is a deep and insightful look at Christianity. What I found to be the most intriguing part of this book was the depth of research that was done in creating the book. There is a lot about history and delving into the old and new Testament. I was definitely intrigued by some of the questions that author K.J. Soze brought up throughout the book, as they are things I have questioned before. Things like: Why is the Christian Church so divided with many different denominations and independent Churches?, What are the original prophecies in the Old Testament about the end times and how are they repeated in the New Testament?, and How did the modern Church get so far removed from early Church beliefs as clearly stated in the New Testament and by the early Church fathers? The book mainly focuses on the idea of salvation and how Christianity has changed in modern times. I felt that Soze did a good job of articulating himself and doing his research. The book definitely has a clear perspective. I didn’t agree with everything that Soze said in this book, but I still found it to be an interesting read.
I should start by saying that I am not at all a religious person, but I am interested in how religion has influenced modern-day beliefs and how interpretations of the bible made hundreds of years ago are still considered gospel (pardon the pun) despite times and attitudes have changed so rapidly. So, whilst I don’t believe in the messages in the Bible, I was really interested in the different interpretations researched and documented in ‘The Message for the Last Days’ in relation to the end of days.
It was a fascinating read and rather than being preachy is encourages you to make your own interpretations on what things may mean. You don’t have to believe, but you can still enter into the debate. My views on religion haven’t changed, but I still enjoyed this informative read.
The Message For The Last Days isn’t one of those preachy religious books, but one that gives careful thought and consideration to the messages in the bible. I wasn’t sure if this would really be a book I would enjoy or not, but I’m really glad that I read it.
The author give us his interpretation of many philosophical points made in the bible, even answers questions would be another way to look at it. However he is not trying to persuade the reader to do this or that, it’s more like guidance so we can find our own answers or way. I think anybody who reads the Bible can interpret it in their own way, but this is a very valuable perspective a wide scope of readers could benefit from. I feel this is a book for anybody, not only Christians.
Author K.J. Soze, in his words is ‘an independent publisher who provides Biblical research of complex topics such as the afterlife, then I boil it down into a summary with references so readers can save time with their Bible studies. The books I write cut across various Church and denomination lines to fine unity and clarity for those who hold differing beliefs.’ Soze is not affiliated with any denomination or Church. What he offers in this book is a sound, intensively researched presentation of all of the descriptions of the End Of Days – those known and those that may be obscure to many.
The extent of research into the topic of ‘what’s next – after this life’ or the Second coming of Christ as in the biblical Revelations, or Armageddon as so many current films and books and blogs describe, has rarely been as impressive as this volume. And yet Soze’s presentation is accessibly warm and supportive as he guides the reader through the many references that describe the final days of the earth and mankind.
The opening discussion is shared here to encourage readers to follow through the explanations offered: A key to understanding the bible is learning how to properly interpret it through guidance of the Holy Spirit. Sounds simple. However, cultural traditions and personal biases complicate our efforts. Another barrier arises from the biblical concept that there are three realms of existence: our physical world, God’s heavenly realm, and a spiritual realm that bridges the other two…Passages that seem contradictory are possible to harmonize by identifying their relationship to these separate realms…’ This inviting style makes a profound topic accessible.
The message of the book is based on Christianity, and that is made clear in the many quotations for the Bible. Soze brings it all together and in the he offers the following: ‘Christ is coming again, and he is bringing his reward with him, along with the crown of eternal life. H e has commanded his workers to call those whom he would choose into repentance. Christ began by calling prophets and apostles; now it is up to us to extend the call. How can the elect hear the gospel if the Word is not preached?…Instead of debating our individual interpretive models, we must strive for unity in the Spirit. Our modern mindset would have us cling to our own perspectives and divides accordingly. But God calls us to gather together and seek his objective truth together. May we lay aside our self-centeredness and submit to the Spirit.’
This is a scholarly tome that seeks to unify all thought on the End of Life. In these precarious times it is fine food for thought.
