This is the final book in the Left Behind series. It is a bit of a disapointment after the excitement of the previous books. It is a look at what the world will possibly be like when Christ comes back to rule for 1,000 years. It skips thru the years/centuries at a breakneck pace. With no real enemy to fight the book just comes off as boring. The Biblical figures such as Noah, Caleb, Joshua and David even come off as a bit standoffish. As they are supposed to be the guest speaker at the COT (a school for the Children of the Tribulation) they even come off as mundane. While they do give you pictures in your head of how it might be, it just doen't do what I imagine it to be , justice.
"Kingdom Come" met my expectations for the polished duo of LaHaye and Jenkins. When the timeline for the plot needed to cover 1,000 years in under 400 pages, I was a bit sceptical that they could pull it off. They came through by using roughly the first half of the story to give a detailed account of the world under the authority of King Jesus. The only ones in the new kingdom were Christians left on earth after King Jesus judged the nations. Those Christians who had died both before and during the triulation returned with Jesus and ruled under Him. The mix of immortals and naturals quickly re-established the nations on earth.Even though Satan was removed from the earth, those who were born to the naturals had the choice of obedience or rebellion to King Jesus. The only conflict in the plot was the internal agonies that Christian parents felt on seeing their children rebel and the attempts by their friends and family to persuade them to change their minds. While the authors limited the plot to follow the prophecies given in the Bible, they did an excellent job of building up to a climax and bringing both the book and the series to a grand completion.
Quite an unsatisfying ending to a series that seemed to lose most of its steam by the latter half. Instead of keeping readers interested in a plot that should hold an immense potential for suspense and drama, you find biblical quotes splattered all over the pages in substitution of a real story. Arguably the ending is already a done deal since the story is following a pre-established storyline, but it seemed like the author's used that as an excuse to put no imagination to the ending of the series. In the end, the bible was used a crutch rather than a platform for creative interpretation.
All of the Left Behind books are provacative and page turning. I read them all at least once a year.
Wonderful! I thoroughly enjoyed reading Kingdom Come! All the Left Behind series novels have left me on the edge of my seat!
This book read without much of a story line, as if the authors were trying to milk whatever was remaining from the franchise.The theology was like sugar water mixed with urine that was called lemonade. Though I am a Christian, I am not a follower of LaHaye's dispensationalism, and it left me wondering a lot of things. Are we bound to follow the law and feasts in the kingdom to come? So why not today? How is it that people who were in Heaven, in perfection, come back to earth to live in a very imperfect world? Is that not like getting a taste of the most delicious dish you've ever had then told you have to wait 1000 years to eat the rest?I remain a believer in Christ, but I am farther from LaHaye's version of Christianity than I was when I started reading these books.
I have read the entire series minus this book several times this book was total dissapointment. there were no high or low points in the entire book .
Done. That is all I can say.
