5.0 out of 5 stars Read & Then Study The Prophecies For Yourself., May 21, 2002

I can but agree with most of the reviewers here.

Ultimately, if Michael Rood is wrong in his interpretation about the Rapture, and the Rapture occurs either pre or mid-tribulation, then true Christian believers have nothing to lose. If the author is right however,and the Rapture occurs towards the end of the Tribulation, then Christians everywhere owe it to themselves to have been made aware of his interpretation.

Some of what the author covers in relation to Biblical prophecy and it's interpretation to date has bothered me previously. His coverage of such clarifies a number of matters for me personally.

I can only recommend this book to ALL scholars and Christians who are seeking the truth surrounding Biblical Prophecy, the Rapture and the return of Our Lord Jesus. We must all be accountable to search the Scriptures ourselves whilst seeking prayerful insight to the truth.

I would hate not to have read this book. Being prepared, in full possession of the facts so that we are not going to be deceived in that day is essential. If you read this book and disagree with the message and interpretation, then that is a matter for the individual. But we do really owe it to ourselves to be aware of what the author is saying here.

5.0 out of 5 stars He who has ears to hear..., December 20, 2001

This review is from: The Mystery of Iniquity (Paperback)

This book will not create dull conversations over dinner; that I guarantee. People reading this book will love it or hate it depending upon their beliefs regarding Israel's place in prophecy and the rapture. In today's 'church' there are people who believe God's calling is irrevocable and that he will restore Isreal and that the gentile arm of His body is grafted into the commonwealth of Israel (Romans 11), and there are people who think God has scrapped Israel and is now working with everyone else but Israel. The latter group will hate this book because it is based upon God's restoration of Israel and His fulfillment of the prophecies embedded in the fall feasts of the Lord. Those coming from the essentially Catholic mainstream American church steedped in anti-Semitism and replacement theology will find it offensive. Those familiar with the prophetic fulfillment of the Biblical spring feasts and the prophetic promises embedded in the Biblical fall feasts will have mind candy a plenty.

Besides a person's understanding of God's irrevocable covenant with Israel, is his or her belief in a rapture. Those who believe in a get-out-of-persecution-free rapture card will be incensed at the conclusions that Michael Rood draws. I guess when I read scriptures telling me not to be surprised at the fiery ordeals among us and that when we are delivered up to death (by people thinking they are doing service to God) not to be afraid, I somehow get the idea that there's a possiblity the church may face some troubling times. Certainly the church in Somalia and the Sudan have found this to be true.

Knowing this, reading the history of deliverance God has recorded in Scripture builds my faith. He didn't majestically transport the children of Israel in the promised land; they had to trust Him for it. When they whined and complained and didn't believe Him for it and yearned to return to Egypt, He made them take another lap. When the next generation made it into the land, He didn't destroy the Caananites, He made His children fight for their promised land. They possessed the land little by little. When God judged the world with water, He didn't zap Noah out of the world. Rather Noah was safely ensconced in God's covenant while everyone else was taken out. It's worth considering whether these things point to God's character in judgement of the world and deliverance of His people...

The material in this book will be so far out there for people that are neither familiar with the Biblical feasts or the idea that we might have to lay down our lives for our beliefs, that it may be very scary. But some will prefer a warning that spurs them on to call upon the Lord in a day when He may be found.

Whether this book is flaky may be a conversation to be tabled until we stand before the Lord doing a post-mortem on the tribulation.

The tone of Mr. Rood's book will offend those who take issue with the points he makes, but that is pretty standard when talking about such emotionally charged beliefs. The book will not provoke a neutral response, and I thoroughly enjoyed it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Lifetime (39 yrs.) of bookcollecting, selling and READING, December 26, 2001

This review is from: The Mystery of Iniquity (Paperback)

I rarely underline/highlight the books I read, mainly Non-Fiction, and have quite a library myself thanks to working as a used book dealer. Many sit on my shelves going unread...(so many books, so little time)...this book is the exception. I've hi-lighted my favorite parts that i want to read and re-read, to let it sink in. I only mark in books I plan on getting more copies of, to give away/loan to friends and family. I've read escatalogical books since I was 10 or so, and few books have impacted me like The Mystery of Iniquity. Upon reading this book I was blown away/thrown for a loop. Aside from the Holy Bible, it's one of the best I've ever read! Get several copies!!! Nuff said.
