Customer Reviews

Much of whats written in this book is even more relevant today

Pember starts off with talking about how the church and Christianity has been infiltrated since the days of the apostle Peter. And he talks about the signs of the approaching End Times spoken of in Timothy. I have not finished it but I think it'll only get better. Overall, I recommend for anyone to read just keep in mind this was written 100 yrs ago so the language may be a bit different.

Very unique but difficult book

G.H. Pember lived from 1837-1910. As a result, this book's language can be quite difficult for the modern reader to follow. However, it is worth it. To begin with, Pember ably reconciles the 6000 year history of man from Adam to the present age with the scientific findings that the earth is much older than 6000 years of age. He also discusses some of the finer points of the book of Genesis, including the time of Noah, and the evil that was taking place upon the earth that was so bad that God felt he had to start over. Probably the most controversial chapter in the book is the last - "As It Was in the Days of Noah" - which talks about the current age being the last. Pember lays out seven trends that prove that these (in his case, the late 19th century) are the end times. This is where he really gets mocked on various websites I have visited, but he does have some points that are undeniable if you give them some thought. First Pember says that man has come to regard God - if he regards him at all - as Creator and Benefactor, not as a God that must deal with sinners. In other words the common view among people today is that "God is Love" with no regard for justice, and that somehow nearly all, with the exception of the worst criminals, will escape God's judgement. Second, Pember quotes "An undue prominence of the female sex, and a disregard for the primal law of marriage." He doesn't discuss much about the first part of this sentence, but the second part he discusses at length as man's willingness to see marriage as a contract that can be ended at any time. This has clearly come to pass. Third, Pember notes "A rapid progress in the mechanical arts ...Also a proficiency in the fine arts". Here, Pember is noting that the industrial revolution, which had already occurred at the time he wrote this, made life so much easier that man could disregard God due to the mitigation of the original curse put on man at the time of Adam. Pember argues that the fine arts "induce an entire oblivion of God" because entertainment tends to distract man from God. If this was true in 1900, it is so much more true today! In the U.S. people are becoming more and more obese because the world of entertainment and an easy life are killing them physically as well as spiritually as they hardly need to get off of their couches to perform any task or fulfill any desire. Not that anyone would want to go back to carrying water from earthen wells, but the effect of man's reliance on automation for so many things coupled with the ability to fill the resulting leisure time with custom-built entertainment of every kind imaginable undoubtedly makes it easy to ignor God. Pember's fourth trend is "an alliance between the nominal church and the World". Here Pember is basically saying that the nominal church and the World wed by subverting spiritual things and making their gatherings more of a show devoid of God and His desires. Again, this is still seen in the present age. The fift

Provides a crystal clear picture

of the fallen, invisible, spiritual realm that is fighting to frustrate the accomplishment of God's eternal purpose. Written to expose the spiritualism that was becoming popular in his time (late nineteenth century), this book is very appropriate for our times. George Hawkins Pember was a man who knew the Word of God and was fully illuminated by the Spirit of God. Using the Scriptures, Pember unveils to us how God's enemy fell, the beings who followed him in his rebellion, and how they utilize spiritualism and other practices to deceive and entrap people.

G.H. Pember has alot of discernment!

This book has a wealth of information about subjects that are not completely descriptive in the Bible, yet he paints a very rational and thought provoking picture of them. The pre-Adamic earth and the pre-deluge earth scenarios are incredible! A must read.This is just one of the many books that Pember "rightly divides the word of truth" in! I recommend all of his books, as well as those of his fellow scholars...D.M. Panton, Robert Govett, R.E. Neighbour, etc. These men of God knew how to teach the truth of the coming kingdom of God. Get them all!

A top book dealing with Scripture and Demonology

This book is a higher reading level and requires a good background in scripture along with some background in demonology to fully comprehend. The author assumes the reader is well versed with the Christian Doctrine of the Redemptiom and the Harrowing of Hell. The book, though written in the late 1800's is incredibly pertinent today in that it not only describes and predicts the "New Age" movement but tells us why the New Age trend has grown and what the result will be. The author proves through scripture what we are to expect. A brilliant work all in all.Y Suzin - Forest Hills, New York City
