Are we near the end of the age?

August 2020

Recent events in the news have many people, Christian and otherwise, wondering out loud if we are nearing the end of the age when Armageddon happens, the Lord returns and eternity begins.

Back in 1995 and 1996 when I was Senior Pastor of Faith Evangelical Free Church in Minocqua, Wisconsin I preached a 52 week series verse by verse through the book of Revelation.  A friend recently took the cassette tapes of that series and digitized them. Thank you Greg Buzzell!

After getting some feedback from friends who expressed an interest in hearing these sermons, I decided to make them available online in my Ask the Pastor blog here, which I am in the process of updating.

For those are interested  in further study about the end of the age I have also written a book on Bible Prophecy.

Clearing Up The Chronology Of The Bible's End Times  is available on Amazon in paperback and Kindle formats.  Click on title to go there. 

104 pages - Description

A book on Bible Prophecy written by a pastor who has studied the subject for over 40 years. The book uses common sense Bible study principles to clear up the confusion in the chronology of what will happen at the end of the age. Also explains why the Crucifixion of Christ was on Thursday without question, pointing out that there were two Sabbath's the week that Jesus died. Explains how the Feasts of Leviticus 23 fit in with End Times Prophecy. The author espouses a Mid-Tribulation Rapture but is rooting for those who hold a Pre-Tribulation Rapture position to be correct. No secret formulas or odd interpretations, the author follows solid Bible study/exegesis principles.




Another book I have written, also available on Amazon,  is,  Ask The  Pastor  Click on title to go there.  400 pages

Description

Ask the Pastor is a compilation of hundreds of articles Pastor Gordon Magee wrote for the Friday edition of the Lakeland Times newspaper in Minocqua, Wisconsin when he was Senior Pastor at Faith Evangelical Free Church. It includes notes and details of the near Revival-like goings on during that time, where hundreds of people came to know Christ. These Ask the Pastor articles were written with a focus on helping people who aren't yet Christians understand that the Bible makes sense and Jesus is who he says he is. Its answers are a great help to Christians as well. The answers given in these articles were limited in size due to the advertising cost of putting them in the newspaper each Friday. The result is a set of easy to read, brief articles that make them more likely to be read and understood.

Description

Everyone thinks about God. People wonder whether a God exists and if there is a God what is he like? Is there a heaven? If so, how do you get in? Do you have to qualify? How? So many questions come to our minds. In our quiet moments, we all think about God, even if we never admit it to others. This short booklet was written to help people think through those questions and help them come to know Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior. It is also written for people trying to help people still in the searching process, by giving them a short, non-threatening and logical tool they can feel comfortable giving to a friend.

But first, the beginning sermon in the Revelation series.  This series began January 8, 1995.  I hope you find it helpful in understanding the book of Revelation, a difficult book, but a book that is meant to be understood.
