This review is from: Countdown to Armageddon (Paperback)

Countdown to Armageddon is a great resource for those studying the end-times. It's best use is as a reference. These distinguished men of God have taken each aspect of the last days and have have exegeted the corresponding passages biblically.

Prophecy is a wonderful, yet dangerous pursuit. If interpreted literally, it inspires, informs, and motivates the believer to greater work for God. If taken out of context and used as the foundation for a life-ministry, can get lead to wild and crazy interpretations that lead well-meaning believers on useless wild-goose chase for the latest and greatest nugget.

This book does the former. It presents biblical prophecy clearly and accurately. It doesn't fantasize or read between the lines of Scripture. It would be a great text for a college prophecy course.

It's great to see insight from pre-tribulation, pre-millenial, dispensationalists. I believe as do most conservative bible belivers, that this is the only true way to read Scripture.

5.0 out of 5 stars Countdown to Armageddon, February 22, 2001

By 

Edward Barbara (Odessa, Fl United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Countdown to Armageddon (Paperback)

This book takes 4 of the finest experts and in simple language and wonderful word pictures explains the Book of Revelation that I have come across. I am in a comprehensive study of Revelation for which this book has been a tremendous tool yet it also reads like a story. This book can be used as a witnessing tool because of the easy read and again as a wonderful navigation tool through the past, present and future description Apostle Paul gives us from his devine experience.

This review is from: Countdown to Armageddon (Paperback)

This is the best video of Bible Prophecy concerning the endtime in which we live right now. It not only shows us how past Old Testament prophecies have been fulfilled but also lets us know WHAT IS HAPPENING RIGHT NOW CONCERNING THE IRAQ WAR AND THE DEFINITE RISE OF THE ANTICHRIST.
AN ABSOLUTE MUST BUY!!!
