Thy Kingdom: Come: Re-Evaluating the Historicist’s Interpretation of the Revelation is not just any theology book. The authors break down different subjects about Christianity, the gospel and how the Bible is interpreted. Through this book, readers will understand the history of some religious festivals, know every part of the Bible and get to know The Book of Revelation better. Thy Kingdom Come: Re-Evaluating the Historicist’s Interpretation of the Revelation is a ‘next-level book’ which will open your eyes and have you view things differently. The authors link and contrast the relationship between the end times, prophets and their prophecies and how modern churches operate.

The authors Marsue and Jerry Huerta use heavy Christian jargon and go deep when talking about fundamentals in Holy Scriptures. Reading this book is a beautiful learning experience as the reader comes across terms that are not commonly mentioned in either secular or gospel settings. One can tell the authors were thorough in their research by how they presented their points. The writing format in the book is commendable as it gives readers ample time to slowly digest what they are reading about. Marsue and Jerry Huerta did not rush in their writing but took time to expound on the topics they were talking about. Thy Kingdom: Come: Re-Evaluating the Historicist’s Interpretation of the Revelation is a fantastic read if you are into deep, heavy and technical religious literature.

‘The Insufficiency of the Presuppositions of Covenantalism in Rendering John’s Apocalypse’ was among my favorite chapters in the book. Like in most parts of the book, the authors accompanied the text with Bible scriptures to make their points clear. The authors’ discussion on the principle of prophetic interpretation was remarkable. Another topic worth noting in the book was that of Israel and the church. Israel is viewed as an ethnic nation where Hebrews live by dispensationalists. The Church, on the other hand, consists of all saved individuals in this present dispensation. The authors were excellent when discussing historicism, Libertarian free will, Open theism, Preterism, Progressive revelation and many other contentious subjects that are not always discussed.

The text in the book is raw and the discussions sharp. Expect to have your way of seeing things altered after you read this book. Marsue and Jerry Huerta’s knowledge of the apocalypse of John, the church and the end time is not found in any mainstream publication. There is no basic narrative in the book as everything written is elite. Some concepts are difficult to understand when read at first but that does not take away the wonderful experience reading this book. I would recommend Kingdom Come: ReEvaluating the Historicist’s Interpretation of the Revelation to readers who are fond of secular material as this book will introduce them to a new world and answer questions that no other book can answer.
