5.0 out of 5 stars Gripping, thought provoking read., January 21, 2004

By

This review is from: The End of Days (Paperback)

Based on the writer's own personal interpretation of Biblical prophecy, the reader is presented with an extremely plausible, albeit fictional story, surrounding future events which is extremely thought provoking when one considers the present circumstances relating to the many issues and subjects addressed.

Although not a great fan of fiction I was pleasantly surprised as to how this book held my attention throughout. The characters were extremely believable and the manner in which future events were described will captivate many readers who are familiar with the present situation in the Middle East. The book pulls no punches in bringing the immediacy and relevance of Biblical prophecy to the reader's attention.

My interest in buying this particular book primarily arose from having listened to the writer speak and also having read a number of his other FACTUAL studies in relation to Israel, Islam, the Palestinian-Israeli conflict and the Biblical message relating to the regions history & the relevance of these issues in relation to Biblical prophecy. I have found the source to be very knowledgeable in these subjects and someone who can relate to the matter first hand, living in Jerusalem itself, and with much first hand experience of the conflict.

The "End Of Days" begins with another Middle Eastern war, yet on this occasion with weapons of mass destruction being used between Syria and Israel. The book then charts the rise of the "Anti-christ" and other issues which will be familiar to students of Biblical prophecy.

These include the signing of a false "peace" agreement in the Middle East, the rebuilding of the Jewish Temple on Jerusalem's Temple Mount and the "Mark of the Beast". The gathering of the nations against Jerusalem/Israel, an invasion of Israel by a confederation of nations plus the persecution of the Jews & Christians are also covered together with a number of other conflicts including the battle of Armageddon.

These events are described in detail and culminate with the return of Jesus Christ. (Due to differing interpretations amongst some scholars in relation to the timing of the "Rapture" of the Church, this issue has not been included.)

Although some readers might disagree with some of the interpretations of Scripture presented through the storyline, this should not detract from the gripping manner in which the story unfolds. This is an extremely well written and enjoyable book which will especially attract readers with an interest in the Middle East conflict and also fans of both fiction and non-fiction alike.

Those readers who have studied Bible prophecy/eschatologic issues to any degree will find themselves presented with an extremely realistic end-time scenario which illustrates how present International events could play themselves out.

For those who may be interested in the factual studies of the source, might I respectfully recommend two of his other books source entitled "Israel In Crisis; What Lies Ahead ?" and "Holy War For The Promised Land; Israel At The Crossroads". Thank you.

5.0 out of 5 stars Current Events In fiction story, October 11, 2000

By 

Heidi Lovett (WA United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The End of Days (Paperback)

I read End Of Days last year and I have been recommending it to everyone I know ever since. I thought the book was well thought out and very scripturally based. I really appreciated the journalistic style of the novel. I came away from the book thinking, "The end of days really could end this way..." Now, in light of current events, I need to reread the book. It is as if he wrote a news story before it happened. I would highly recommend the book to anyone who wants a realistic portrayal of how the Prophesies concerning the last days may be fulfilled.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best end time prophecy book I've ever read., April 25, 1998

By 

Brian McClimans ([e-mail]) (California) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The End of Days (Paperback)

David Dolan does an excellent job with this book. He gives a very good picture of just how things may end up in the end. Using Scripture, Dolan details how I feel things are going to end. If your looking for a good book to read on the end times, pick up this superior piece of literature.
