A better definition of God's kingdom changes everything about how we live today - no matter what the future holds.

Welcome to a better way of looking at the end: as the culmination of God's grand story. Jesus' most important word in describing the end is the Greek word telos. Telos is the rhythm of human history; the presence of God; and the plot, purpose, and completion of the story. The end is the kingdom of God, and the kingdom is here and now.

Sweet and Wilson show how many of the political problems plaguing modern Christianity are rooted in bad theology. God's kingdom is the present reality of the presence of God that gives us hope for today and tomorrow.

Industry Reviews

I do not have enough words to describe my amazement and wonder at this literary and theological masterpiece. Not since C.S. Lewis wrote Mere Christianity has a book so creatively reflected on the overarching narrative of our faith; so compellingly realigned our understanding of the end time with the teachings of Jesus. I have no doubt it will reset our understanding of time and eschatology.

In this timely book, one that will soon become timeless, Len Sweet and Len Wilson offer us a much-needed, fresh understanding of the future in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. After creatively guiding us through six competing endings for the world in church and culture, the authors invite us to discover that truth is not a proposition but a person. In Jesus, past, present and future exist simultaneously. Our beginning and ending, our telos, is anchored in Him. Jesus is the kingdom come.
