Countdown to the Second Coming [Paperback]

Dave Hunt (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: April 2005

At last, a book that presents in a concise manner the events leading up to the return of Christ. Dave Hunt, in his characteristic direct style, answers these pervasive questions: Who is the Antichrist? How will he be recognized? What current events indicate that we really are in the last of the "last days"? Using Scripture and up-to-date information, Dave draws the exciting conclusion that, indeed, time is short. He then outlines a biblical response and reminds the reader of the hope we have in Christ. This book instructs, encourages, warns, and strengthens readers to "walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise, redeeming the time, because the days are evil" (Ephesians 5:15,16).

5.0 out of 5 stars Dave Hunt Does it Again - Excellent, Quick Read -- The Wise Shall Understand, July 21, 2006

This review is from: Countdown to the Second Coming (Paperback)

If you want to understand what is happening in our world today and how it relates to Bible Prophecy, this in an excellent primer. Dave has condensed a difficult topic into an affordable, easy-to-read booklet. I've bought several and given them away. Warning: this book is not politically correct nor does it paint a rose-colored-glasses-view of the world situation. For that reason, many might be offended. But if you would know the significance of what you see in your evening news and in the newspaper, especially regarding Israel and Jerusalem, then this book is for you. You'll want to keep a Bible handy so you can look up all the verse references; I suggest a King James, New King James or New American Standard Bible.

Various topics such as Israel, Jerusalem, the Antichrist, the Second Coming, the Rapture, the Signs of the Times, the deception of the Ecumenical Movements that compromise the Gospel, Israel's Rebirth, Islam and the Arab nations' wars on Israel, False Peace, etc. are all covered here.

Those who want to know will be informed. Those who don't, will find many reasons to dislike this book. I also highly suggest the reader purchase "When Will Jesus Come?" by Dave Hunt which usually sells for a street price of about $13 and is also available here on Amazon.Com.

Iran's president wants to wipe Israel off the map and is developing nuclear weapons to do so. This is exactly the teachings of islam as they believe they will kill all the Israelis at the Last Hour (hadith sahih bukhari 4:52:176-177, 4:56:791, hadith sahih muslim 41:6981-6985). As this is written, Israel is involved in major battles in Gaza and southern Lebanon after some IDF soldiers were killed and some were kidnapped. An 18-year-old Israeli was kidnapped, killed and his body burned, left to be found by Israel. Israel is poised to enter southern Lebanon with tanks and soldiers to cripple Hezbollah (Party of allah). There are also links to Hezbollah from Syria and Iran. These are dangerous situations that could result in the Middle East exploding.

The Pharisees could discern the weather by the face of the sky. Jesus said to discern the Signs of the Times by what was going on, especially in relation to the Nation of Israel.

5.0 out of 5 stars Powerful sign posts for the return of Jesus Christ, October 18, 2007

This review is from: Countdown to the Second Coming (Paperback)

This is an intelligent, thoughtful and concise rundown of prophetical truths from the Bible describing the world climate leading up to the return of Jesus Christ--literally--to the earth. This powerfully written little book unmistakeably pinpoints the day in which we're living as that appointed time; the present unfolding global landscape is preparing the way for the Lord's predicted coming. Like the Scripural prophets of old, Dave Hunt reminds us of the sobering reality that Christ is coming to the earth in judgment, not to bring the purported utopian 'peace' that many modern-day false prophets are proclaiming. A MUST read.
