The Future of Everything: Essential Truths about the End Times

All of us think about the end times. When we reflect on what will happen not only when we die but when this present age ends, some combination of ideas, images, hopes, and fears floods our minds. In The Future of Everything, William Boekestein encourages us to allow our thoughts on the end times to be guided by God’s Word. While combing the Scriptures to find direction related to subjects like death, the millennial kingdom, the return of Christ, the resurrection, judgment, heaven, and hell, Boekestein helps us cultivate a vision for the future that impacts our walk before God’s face today.

William Boekestein begins with the principles that safely guide us through this minefield, then helps us to see what the Bible really says about our personal future and the future of the world.

“Pastor Boekestein has written a simple but solid and, at times, searching guide to eschatology. This is not in any way a ‘theoretical’ book, but rather one that is immensely practical for all Christians. I personally think many will find this to be clear and compelling on topics of great importance.”

—Mark Jones, pastor at Faith Vancouver PCA

“A brief simple book on the end times? Is that possible? You have it in your hands, and with just a little effort you can soon have it in your head and heart. It will not only prepare you for the end but also equip you to prepare others for eternity.”

—David Murray, professor of Old Testament and practical theology at Puritan Reformed Theological Seminary, author of Jesus on Every Page, Reset, and Exploring the Bible
