"This book is dedicated to the Seventh-day Adventist Church. Its purpose is to correlate in concise, chronological form the tremendous events predicted to take place in the world and in the church just before the second coming of Christ.".

Great changes are soon to take place in our world, and the final movements will be rapid ones.--Testimonies for the Church, vol. 9, p.11.

Prepare for the Great Tribulation and the Era of Peace - Volume I reveals to us all the vital messages that God wants us to have in these very special times. Rev. Leo J. Klem, C.S.B., the author's spiritual director, states in the foreword that the messages can be placed into three categories: warnings, teachings and love messages. For example:

Warnings - "Prepare your lives and repent, for truly this life is passing away. I tell you your time is short to get ready for the evil tribulation which is about to befall you" - 1-23-94

Teachings - "My little ones, you must follow the messages and pray for guidance through this evil age. Call on Me, the Holy Spirit, God the Father, My Mother, your guardian angel, or the saints to carry you through this time. We will listen to your prayers and protect you" - 10-23-93

Love messages - "I bring you my Eucharistic love. My Sacred Heart is burmning with love for all of you. If you could but understand how much I love you." - 1-10-94

Let us take advantage of these precious words from God and apply them to our lives.

John Leary, a married layman from Rochester, New York, became aware of God's special call and mission for him after a pilgrimage to Medjugorje. He freely gave his will over to God and consented in faith to whatever would come. This volume presents the visions and messages that John received from July 1993 through June, 1994.

An great text about the Orthodox Church in Russia under the Communist regime. Excellent use of primary sources allows Alexander Webster to tell the whole story, pointing out key players, and specific examples.

I highly recommend this text for anyone interested in Russian, Christian, or Orthodox, history.

I have read this book at least twice. It is one of the best books that I have ever read. I feel that with the world in the shape that it is in, this is a book for all ages to read. A real eye opener ! The most important thing for some to remember here is that sometimes the truth hurts ! the real question for some would be " are you ready for the truth " ??? - EXCELLENT !!! - "Beginning of the end " By Dr. John Hagee

Bahai teacher William Sears presents The Prisoner and the Kings: How One Man Changed the Course of History, a historical account of the Prophet Bahaullah, founder of the Bahai faith. Between 1867 and 1873, Bahaullah was a solitary prisoner in a Turkish penal colony who wrote a series of letters to kings and emperors, predicting the course of modern history with surprising accuracy. The Prisoner and the Kings examines what Bahaullah's letters have to say about the fall of kingdoms, the decline of religious institutions, all of which happened in his day, as well as what his predictions can tell us about humanity in the twenty-first century. An amazing account sure to fascinate readers of all faiths, especially recommended for Bahai religious history and college library shelves.

I came to the Reformed faith reading partial preterists. I saw it as the obvious alternative to dispensationalism. I then moved away from it for a while. Having been a fan of Leithart, I decided to read his commentary.

While he holds to the basic preterist position, he makes a few exciting mutations. Most partial preterists, when they get to this book, simply reassert that it took place in AD 70. Well and good, but that is not an argument. Leithart introduces what he calls "knock-out" arguments for partial preterism in 2 Peter. There are five of them. He sets the stage for saying that without a preterist understanding of 2 Peter, Peter's comments do not make sense.

Here is an example:
Peter says he wrote his letter (2 Peter) on the theme of the coming of Jesus, which he says was also a theme of his 1 letter (1 Peter). Since 1 Peter's teaching about the coming of Jesus highlights its imminence, 2 Peter must be dealing with the same looming event (14).

Btw, when all five arguments are seen together, they are quite compelling. Do not judge this argument standing alone.

Leithart also adds a Hebraic element to the interpretation. Peter's audience are dispersed Jews (and he quotes a plethora of passages showing how Peter's language directly mirrors exilic Jews in the OT). In short, AD 70 was not simply Rome destroying Jerusalem and that kind of conveniently looks like Matthew 24. No, it is a destruction of the Old Creation world. (Leithart then draws parallels showing how the temple symbolized the cosmos).

I really enjoyed it. Definite recommendation. However, it is not a key for sermon prep. It is more for eschatology than sermon, although it makes for good biblical theology.

I would like to recommend this book to anyone wanting to understand the book Revelations from the KJV Bible a lot more. Swaggart breaks each chapter down and talks about the events and brings them to a clear understanding and does so without taking anything that is NOT in the Bible and making it seem like it is. Anything that is hear-say or guestimations is marked as so. I have read this book and want to read it again. It has some nice pictures that coincide directly with what the KJV Bible says as to leave you with not only a better picture of what will be here but also a secure point that you can witness with also.

Seldom have I found such an important book that gives such detail and provides such insightfulness into all the possibilities for the new millennium.

It should becomes the users handbook for surviving the paasage from the old age to the new age.

It can't be praised too highly.

I am glad to know there is no "Doomsday" disaster waiting. Mr. Yi-Chen did a wonderful job to use world history to decode the mystery of the book of Revelation. The historical proofs on the prophecies about Napoleon, Communism, AIDS, "Sept. 11" and War in Iraq are very convincing. Unlike other books about Bible Revelation in the market, this book is the first book to reveal the complete picture of the prophecies in the Bible Revelation that matches the timeline in world history. That's should be the case for God's prophecies like those in the book of Daniel.

Among all the books regarding the prophecies in the book of Revelation, this book will become the authoritative interpretation in the future on the prophecies of Revelation. Fascinating book, strongly recommend!
