Book Description

September 15, 2009

No other book includes so many prophecies from the Mayan records, I Ching, Islam, Talmud, Catholic writings, Byzantine predictions, Hopis, Hindus, Buddhists, New Age Movement, Kenyan predictions, Book of Mormon, Chinese predictions, Tibetan writings, various scientists, and other sources in the light of Bible prophecy.

2012 and the Rise of the Secret Sect: A Revolutionary Spiritual and Physical Survival Guide for 2012-2020 is a groundbreaking investigative work that goes beyond way beyond the usual doomsday flaming meteor and tidal wave scenarios. Award-winning researcher and end time prophecy expert, Dr. Bob Thiel, disseminates and later compares ancient prophecies of the world's 11 major religions, explains which prophecies are not likely to occur and describes which world changing events are inevitable. Of particular interest to anyone interested in the events leading up to and following 2012 is the book's Sequential Order of Predictions, a comparable table and time line. A masterful and well-researched work unlike any other on the subject, 2012 and the Rise of the Secret Sect will change the way we look at, and prepare for, the most anticipated date in human history.

Editorial Reviews

Review

2012 and the Rise of the Secret Sect is an amazing book. Dr. Thiel is to be commended for being able to show how biblical End-Time prophecies relate to non-biblical predictions of End-Time events. --Dr. Gary Greig, Gospel Light

Dr. Thiel s captivating compendium of end time prophecy from Protestant, Catholic, Hindu, Byzantine, and other sources provide an insightful look into the final chapter in the age of human kind. Thiel shows how such prophecies coalesce into a single moment in history-the end of days. This is a valuable source for all interested in the future. --Michael P. Germano, Ed.D., J.D., Editor BibArch

This book is great. It actually has been life-changing for me. --Maria Neida Garza, Educator

5.0 out of 5 stars "End of the World" Yeah Right, September 16, 2009

This review is from: 2012 and the Rise of the Secret Sect (Paperback)
I can remember as a child seeing a cartoon of a man with a sandwich board that read something like "The end is near".

When the calendar clicked over to 2000, many thought the world would come to a screeching halt.

I look at prophecies in the same light I do horoscopes - We can find a way make the prediction fit the day. So, I am pretty skeptical when it comes to predictions.

Here is the rub...Many people emphatically believe in horoscopes, and read their predictions daily... They swear by these predictions. I believe the same is true for each race, religion, and culture....There are many people in these groups that have total faith and belief in the predictions that relate to them.

For example: In this book there is information on a Shiite prophecy that tells of a time when a "tall black man will assume the reins of government in the west" and this is a signal Muslims to accept a militaristic Muslim leader intent on converting the world to Islam. What this means to me is that whether or not I believe that the current President is that "tall black man" really does not matter, what matters is that there may be millions of Muslims that truly believe this prophecy. They have the ability to make this prophecy real and valid by supporting a militaristic Muslim leader, when they otherwise would not.

This is only one of many instances in this book whereby if there are enough believers, the prophecies can come to fruition.

With this book you can get a grasp of what could be the mindset of believers and be prepared to react.

As a Catholic it is hard to swallow the anti-Pope scenario, and also the prophecy of the rise of an ecumenical military leader who will change the Catholic faith. But, at least my head will not be buried in the sand if such things should occur in my lifetime. And, I should credit the author even on these points as he has many legitimate Catholic references that back him up on this (yeah, even including a future anti-Pope scenario).


I truly believe the author tried his best to present factual information in a way that helps us to make informed decisions on how to react to certain events. There are over 30 pages of endnotes and references. This is definitely not a book of fiction.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book, August 4, 2009
This book shows that ancient chinese prophecies, Mayan interpretations, Hebrew prophecies, Islamic prophecies, Hindu predictions, Catholic prophecies, and Byzantine interpretations(which represent over 5,000,000 people) are expecting similiar events. Since reading the book I have experienced a paradigm shift in the way I think, pray, and live. The authors keen bibilical insight, prophetic sources, and multiple references give the book credibility which the reader can use to decifer world news. The book would be a great companion to the bible and anyone studying end time prophecy. I highly recommend this book as a 'must read' for everyone who wants to understand how predicted events will affect their lives.

5.0 out of 5 stars 2012 - will it bring the end?, September 15, 2009
By 
A. Kaefer (Karlsruhe, Germany) - See all my reviews

This review is from: 2012 and the Rise of the Secret Sect (Paperback)
In this book the world is turned upside down. Suddenly those from a secret sect are the "good ones" and the ecumenical movement is not. This gives a surprising but fascinating new perspective to the many end time prophecies. The author manages to project an amazingly detailed picture of a possible end-time scenario by a synopsis of prophecies existing in many cultures. To the reader who would like to know what the various cultures and religions believe concering the end of the world, this book is truly a "survival guide" giving an overview helping to understand what people talk about. And after all, this book explains thoroughly why the world will not end in 2012 - not yet...
