The story continues from previous books in the series (you will not want to read them out of sequence). This book has many more Bible passages and less dialogue/action than the other books, but is still eye opening to the possibilities of life during the Millennium.

The book was an excellent reader; the only thing I found a little disappointing was the pages appeared to be 100 years old. LOL (Still happy)

I recently finished reading Kingdom Come by Jerry B. Jenkins, & Tim Lahaye. I have been a huge fan of theirs with the entire Left Behinds series. I was shocked to see this book on eBay, since I had not heard about it. It just really puzzled me that it did not receive the media attention the rest of the series did. After reading this last book of the 16 book series, I can understand why it did not receive the attention. It was not as well written as the rest. I do understand that very little is said about the Thousand years after the Tribulation period in the Bible. However, this book still did not meet my expectations. It jumped between huge periods of time, and left me wondering about many details. When I was finished reading it, I put it down, and wondered whom had written this one compared to the other 15 books. It honestly does not even seem like the same authors. I am hugely disappointed. I do understand that this was not an easy series to write. However, I do believe more detail would have been given. If anything, extra series should have been written. There were 15 books written that covered a period of approx 35-40 years (this is including The Rising). Why was only one dedicated to the rule of Jesus for 1000 years? Did I miss something here? Only the very beginning and very ending of the Kingdom Come has anything to do with the Bible, and the rest is purely "fill-ins", so why couldn't more been given to Jesus's 1000 years? (Sorry for repeating myself, but I wanted my point to hit home.) I am seriously reconsidering reading anymore books written from Jerry B. Jenkins or Tim Lahaye, unless they are strictly informative (completely truthful, and educational) from the Bible. If you want to finish the series, as I did, go ahead and read this last book. However, do not expect what you read in the other 15 books. God Bless.Read full review
I desperately wanted to read this sequel to the Left Behind series, I came "late" to the series so I didn't have to wait for a book to come out. I intended to wait and read the libraries copy - but found it at Walmarts and decided to spend my allowance on it. I may give it to the library when I finish. Hope you have read the series and want more - check out the Bible! What will the millennium be like? I always thought it'd be a perfect paradise with everyone worshiping Jesus and no crime, rape, drugs or murder - but according to LaHaye and Jenkins it will indeed be paradise on Earth, that is until the Children of the Tribulation grow up and some become non-believers, wanting to rule themselves or actually worship Lucifer. With Jesus come as a human to rule the Earth and Satan bound in chains the people of Earth still rebel allowing their fleshly desires to rule. There will be drugs, violence, crime and rebellion! I just can't imagine being on Earth with JESUS there IN PERSON and still people are given over to sin of the flesh. There is not even Satan there to tempt them, yet they sin! One of my favorite parts was when TOL gets a chaplain, oh what is TOL? Read the book and understand! All your favorite Bible characters are there - Noah, Joshua and Caleb, and David. I can't imagine it - the church is there in their glorified bodies and the other people age slowly and will live till the millennium is over. The ending is almost an exact quote from the Bible - they only thing I will miss on the new heaven and Earth is the seas and their creatures - look in Revelations, it succinctly says there will be no seas. I have had this explained as we will need the extra land for all the saved people - there goes my hope for a pod of pet dolphins! Maybe I can have a big pond on my 75 acres - picked that up from somewhere ???? who knows? I'm so sorry the series is over - but now I can read it all over again. The only downside of the book is that Jesus appeared to be an administrator seen only by the Elders and not by the people - I think that would be wrong. If Jesus spent his time on Earth with the people, I would think that during the Millennium Kingdom he's also be out and about making personal appearances and teaching.Read full review
As I read this volume, the families are reintroduced so we can get familiar with again. I am just about half way and the intrigue about what the characters are learning and sharing with each other. I love the fact Jesus is present and among everyone. He has given each their rewards each with a personal treasure for them. The area where people can remember their loved ones was so intriguing. I recommend this series to everyone. Start with the prequels It would be more enjoyable to know the origination in the beginning. When I read the series the prequels weren't available. When they all had been introduced I started reading them, I knew I would want to just inhale them.
