Top Highlights
“He is King by right and title. He will not become King by any democratic process. He is not ‘elected’ King by the will of the people. He is King by the will of God. He will finally become King by force (see Ps. 2:8–9).” (Page 28)
“Don’t miss what He is saying here. The ability to work miracles in our day should be looked upon with suspicion because the next great miracle worker will not be Christ; he will be Antichrist with his false prophets.” (Page 140)
“Whether or not you accept the wedding garment is up to you, but Christ has provided it for you. The invitation has gone out to everyone, but you will have to come on the King’s terms.” (Page 107)
“Now the Lord begins to speak of the time of tribulation. You and I are living in the ‘age of the church’ or the ‘age of the Holy Spirit,’ as some people like to speak of it. The Bible divides the world today into three groups of people: the Jews, the Gentiles, and the church of God (see 1 Cor. 10:32). In this age God is calling out a people to His name from both Jews and Gentiles to compose the third group, the church.” (Page 132)
“They perished in the Flood. This is not referring to the Rapture when the church will be taken out of the world. Rather, this pictures the removing from the earth by judgment those who are not going to enter the millennial Kingdom.” (Page 146)

McGee earned his BD from Columbia Theological Seminary, and his ThM and ThD from Dallas Theological Seminary. After serving in Presbyterian congregations in Georgia, Tennessee, and Texas, he moved to southern California to serve as pastor of Lincoln Avenue Presbyterian Church. In 1949 he moved to Los Angeles and became pastor of the Church of the Open Door.
