What's going to happen when the year 2000 arrives? Is Christ going to return with in army of avenging angels? Are Christians going to be taken up in the "Rapture" as many Fundamentalists believe? Is the Antichrist going to rule the world?
In The Millennium, noted catechist Alfred McBride, O. Praem., strips away the layers of hype and hysteria to prove that, far from being the end of time, the year 2000 is actually a new beginning for humanity. Drawing on Biblical prophecy itself, as well as the teachings of the Holy Father, Father McBride reveals how the Catholic perspective on the millennium provides the true picture of our destiny; a destiny that will culminate in the New Jerusalem, the New Heavens and the New Earth, and the Victory of the Risen Christ.
"The millennium should not be a scare tactic to frighten people," he writes. "It ought to be a new opportunity to bring hope to the world, a hope that is best founded in faith in Jesus Christ. "
Share that hope of a new beginning today!
