Corporate Repentance / Wieland, Robert J

The greatest problem God has had in 6000 years: Good people don't go to heaven as soon as they die; They wait in the grave for a corporate first resurrection. (Not even a perfect person will go to heaven on his or her own.) But the first resurrection requires that Jesus Himself come a second time. (Nobody else can raise anyone.) But He can't come back until His living people are ready. "Our God is a consuming fire" to sin (Hebrews 12:29). If He were to come while there is even unknown sin in our hearts, we would be "consumed." He loves us too much to do that. How can His impasse be solved? Band-aids won't work—not any longer.

Revelation 3 says that the main problem is deep—it lies with the "angel' of the church, its leadership. So how do we, as a church, move forward to complete the work God has given us and hasten His return? What do we, as individuals, and as members of the corporate body need to do to repent and prepare for Christ's Second Coming? These topics and more are discussed in this book, which is arousing deep interest worldwide and is electrifying the church.
