Excellent Primer on the Topic

On the topic of the endtimes Pawson gives an excellent primer on the subject. Before teaching his opinions like they are Bible, he gives an overview of some of the most common views. After reviewing the views he tries to break them down and highlight strengths and weaknesses. Finally he presents his views on the topic. This has been my favorite single book on the topic of the endtimes yet! I read it at the recommendation of an expert on the subject who said it was the number one resource he would recommend. I was not disappointed.

If you have ears to hear you will hear what the Spirit is saying to the Church today!

The book of Revelation made simple! This book clearly and simply pulls together God's eternal plan to dwell with man again forever. My people parish for lack of understanding. This book will give the Christian understanding to be overcomers. We do not know the day and the hour but we do know the signs of the time. Must reading for a hungry thirsty, bride!

Thought provoking study on Biblical prophecy.

This excellent, well written in-depth study scrutinises the wide range of issues relating to Biblical prophecy and the return of Jesus Christ. Each and every subject is dealt with by analysing all the differing viewpoints/schools of interpretation, with the writer approaching such with due reference to Scripture and subsequently presenting his own personal views as & when appropriate in relation to Israel, the Church, the interpretation of the book of Revelation, the "Rapture" and the "Millennium" etc.. At the outset the reader's attention is drawn to what is described as the absolute accuracy of Biblical prophecy. The book citing that the declaration of future events is a major feature of the Holy Bible itself. As the writer elaborates, the book relates how over a quarter of all the verses in the Bible contain a prediction about the future. Predictions cited as pertaining to personal, political, social, environmental, moral and meteorological issues, together with many returning to the physical return of Jesus Christ. The writer further declaring that there are 737 separate prophecies made in Scripture, with some mentioned only once but others being mentioned up to many hundreds of times. Of the 737 prophecies mentioned, the book reveals that 594 (over 80%) of these have already been accurately fulfilled. The remaining prophecies, which relate to the "end of the world" (which has obviously not happened yet) are shown to be taking shape at the time of writing. This study provides clarity and insight to these issues. Whilst many readers will undoubtedly have differing opinions to some of those presented in this work, this should not prevent individuals from reading this well presented, in-depth study of an increasingly relevant subject. Highly recommended.
