Customer Reviews

Massive Misunderstanding

In response to Mr. Newby's review, several things must be pointed out. Prophecy at Ground Zero is the newest installment in a long running series by editor William T. James. Mr. James releases these books every fewsyears to accomplish two things- 1) To familiarize the uninitiated with basic concepts of eschatology, particularly those of relevance to the pre-trib/pre-millenial position.2) To update the 'experts' (of which Mr. Newby obviously considers himself) on new developments in global politics, cultures, technologies, and religions as they relate to escatalogical issues. This book is not intended to be read as a novel. Mr. Newby's comparison of this non-fiction work to the story-telling format of Tim LaHaye's Left Behind novels is akin to comparing Da Vinci with Mark Twain. Apples. Oranges. I'm schocked that Mr. Newby would even mention a book by Jerry Jenkins in the same review with something to which John Walvoord has contributed. That comparison alone calls into question his credibility and grasp of the nature of non-fiction eschatological writing. Sadly, this is the case for most of the uninformed, sound-byte oriented individuals who have devoured the Left Behind series, but have never heard of Dr. Walvood or Dr. Ryrie. There's eschatology for pop culture, and then there's eschatology for Bible students. This book is for the latter. Mr. James intention is not to entertain or develop a gripping plot to retain the attention of Left Behind fans (Thank God!). All of these books are compiled from various sources. Each author writes on a subject that contributes to the overall design of the book, but holds special interest for, or draws on the expertise of said author (many of which Mr. Newby felt qualified to critisize without reading). Given this format, the book is incredibly user-friendly since anyone - amateur or prophey expert can read any chapter independently of the others. The book can also be read from beginning to end, as with all the books Mr. James carefully edits. But be warned - there are no cute flight attendants, savvy news journalists, or stirring romantic relationships to keep the story interesting. This is the nature of a non-fiction, scholarly work on eschatology. It's a book for Grown Ups Mr. Newby. That said, I would recommend this book to anyone who is serious about the subject of eschatology, the beginner and the expert.For Mr. Newby, I would recommend Left Behind #43 or one of it's knockoffs. I would also recommend a much needed apology to well respected scholars and authors such as the late Dr. Walvoord, Zola Levitt, Dave Breese, William T. James, and others.

Countdown to the End-Time

Prophecy at Ground Zero by William T. James, general editor along with top eschatological authorities examine and interpet in detail the present day events that are revealed in the ancient biblical scriptures. Some of these questions that still arise from the decimation of September 11, 2001. The carnage known as Ground Zero gave us a sense that there is ongoing struggle against evil in a troubled future for planet Earth linked to a prophetic destiny. These were revealed by Jesus in His Olivet Discourse written in Matthew 24 & 25, Mark 13, and Luke 21 and by the prophets Daniel, Ezekiel and Revelations.The book has key terms and scriptures throughout that accompany each chapter discussing the future of terrorism and it's involvement in the undertaking of the end-time scenerio. To support these discussions a number of recent national and international news articles are listed along with maps and diagrams to explain where we are now and where humankind will be in the end-time events. As we look around to what's happening everyday in technological advancements and political events are becoming climatic. Super nations are being set up for the most earthshaking campaign in all of history combined.The book features highlights and important dates that have also lead up to what will be Armageddon. In every major prophecy mentioned Israel is at it's center. These prophecies contain warnings of a great caliber and multitude of the fate of humankind. The more devastating events will be according to the scriptures after the Rapture of the Church from the Earth. From here the book identifies the nations that will be invloved in the invasion of Israel.Just as Israel faces perilous times so is America mentioned in the prophecy of the Holy Scriptures. In the fierce world of radical, deadly religions and the progressing of a one-world government lead by the Anti-Christ. We can't deny what is coming that the Bible is certainly real and that the outcome of the events mentioned in this book is real. Many truths are revealed about the global condition and the consequences it will face on the path it takes. The message is clear that evil times are here, but there is hope in Jesus Christ. Faith in Jesus Christ overcomes all fear. The good news is that there will be a new earth without end [Isaiah 45:17; Ephesians 3:21]. I recommend this highly as a study in depth for anyone who is looking for a complete, concise book about end-time prophecy.
