The subject of the book is eschatology, the biblical doctrine of the last things.
“We amillennialists,” writes Engelsma, “proclaim a gospel that declares the little flock of Christ, that will always have tribulation in the world and whose members are killed all the day long, to be not merely conquerors but ‘more than conquerors’ (Luke 12:32; John 16:33; Rom. 8:36-37). See, this is not pessimism. This is optimism. This is the hugest optimism. This is optimism without any hint of pessimism.”
Christ’s Spiritual Kingdom includes fine exegesis of Revelation 20, Matthew 24 and Isaiah 65:17-25, and refutes “Jewish Dreams” and preterism.
Originally this book was a series of editorials in the Standard Bearer magazine.
“[Christ’s Spiritual Kingdom] breathes of the comfort and hope that the return of Christ brings to the believer … It is well-written and timely in its refutation of the views of Christian Reconstructionism” (British Church Newspaper).
“I was very blessed by Christ’s Spiritual Kingdom by Prof. Engelsma. I devoured it within the first week of its arrival.” – Norway
“What a wonderful book in times like these, even in Namibia! … It is one of my library books that I give to members of the congregation.” – Namibia
