What was the true mission of Jesus the Messiah? Did He intend to set up an earthly kingdom? Was the church not prophesied in the Old Testament? Was the gospel age an afterthought of God, put in place because somehow the Jews thwarted His plan to establish an earthly kingdom? Using the Bible, and comparing it to writings from prominent premillennialists, James Bales utterly devastates their false assumptions and doctrines, and shows quite clearly that Jesus Christ fulfilled His mission, fulfilled the Old Testament prophecies, and established the kingdom of God in the first century.
