The Basis of the Second Coming

Presented by Dr. Arnold Fruchtenbaum of Ariel Ministries

While the rapture of the church has no preconditions and can happen at any moment of time, the second coming for Israel does have a major precondition: Israel's national salvation. This topic is a study of the circumstances of the rejection of the Messiah by Israel and the one pre-requisite that must be fulfilled before the Messiah can return.

Arnold Fruchtenbaum is the author of books such as Jesus was a Jew, Messianic Christology, and Jewishness and Hebrew Christianity, among many others. He began his formal education at Shelton College, earned B.A. degrees in Hebrew and Greek from Cedarville University, his M.T.S. from Dallas Theological Seminary, and a Ph.D. at New York University. Dr. Fruchtenbaum has lived and worked with the messianic congregation in Jerusalem, ministered for the American Board of Missions to the Jews, was editor of The Chosen People, served as Associate Director of the world's largest Messianic Jewish broadcasting ministry at The Christian Jew Foundation, and currently serves as Director of Ariel Ministries.

Dr. Fruchtenbaum's lecture will take place at The American Museum of Radio and Electricity in Bellingham, Washington.
