First volume in Dave Hunt Classic Series now available! — Peace, Prosperity, and the Coming Holocaust

“Planet Earth is on the brink of an incredible change...but for good or evil? Will there be total economic collapse followed by nuclear holocaust?” So begins the dust-jacket copy to Dave Hunt’s 1983 best-seller. Twenty-five years ago, this title stood unique on conservative bookshelves crowded with “doom and gloom” predictions for the future U.S. economy. Though the “Reaganomics” of President Ronald Reagan (1980-1988) withstood the test of time, the economic turnaround of the 1980s and the prosperity it generated for years to come has since been recast as a “decade of greed” by those in power who now seek to “spread the wealth around.” Now, over two decades later, the stock market crash, sub-prime mortgage crisis, and scandalous trillion-dollar “bank bailout” of 2008—combined with the election of a liberal President with radical, socialist-revolutionary definitions of “hope” and “change”—have caused many to agree that the “doom and gloom” prophesies of the 1970s and ’80s are now being fulfilled, and the worst may be yet to come. Once more, both rampant speculation and dire circumstance are causing a growing number of Christians and non-Christians to dust off God’s Word in search of answers to anxious questions:

*

Are capitalism and free enterprise dead? Will a new economic world order be established prior to the reign of Antichrist? Will Marxism prevail as our next form of government?

*

Have the “outrageous conspiracy theories” of the past several decades (regarding the planned, subversive dismantling of U.S. sovereignty and independence in order to bring about global government) been now cast aside—or vindicated?

*

Are the current geo-political and economic signs of the times indicators of the prophesied Last Days and the soon return of Jesus Christ for His church? What’s next on the prophetic calendar?

In this timely reprint of Dave Hunt’s classic 1983 work, the author holds a remarkably steady balance between history and biblical prophecy that has withstood the test of time. The Bible declares that one-world government and universal New Age religion are coming. When we take God’s Word seriously, says noted author and cult expert Dave Hunt, ‘a door swings open to fascinating new insights...provided only that we take into consideration certain factors that most ‘experts’ on the future—both Christian and nonchristian—have overlooked.’ This is no ordinary gloom-and-doom forecast, but a startling revelation of facts not commonly known. Readers will gain valuable insight for today—and tomorrow—from this fascinating perspective Dave Hunt calls “a contrary scenario.”

5.0 out of 5 stars A FAMED CULT RESEARCHER/APOLOGIST INTERPRETS THE "NEW AGE", June 17, 2011

Steven H. Propp (Sacramento, CA USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Peace, Prosperity, and the Coming Holocaust: The New Age Movement in Prophecy (Dave Hunt Classics) (Paperback)

Dave Hunt operates (with T.A. McMahon) an "anti-cult"/apologetics ministry, "The Berean Call." He has many other books, such as The Seduction of Christianity: Spiritual Discernment in the Last Days, A Woman Rides the Beast: The Roman Catholic Church and the Last Days, What Love is This? Calvinism's Misrepresentation of God, Beyond Seduction: A Return to Biblical Christianity, Occult Invasion: The Subtle Seduction of the World and Church, etc.

He wrote in the Introduction to this 1983 book, "this is not your ordinary gloom-and-doom book about Armageddon... We will carefully consider the future of planet Earth from every angle: scientific, occult, political, military, Biblical... What the Bible says about the Antichrist is indeed hard to believe:... that he will deceive the entire human race into embracing a new one-world religion, of which he will also be the head."

Here are some additional quotations from the book:

"In contrast to the gloom-and-doom and frightening forecasts of the vast majority of Christians and non-Christians alike, we shall propose ... a coming new age of unprecedented peace and prosperity just over the horizon! ... If the Bible is true, then the coming new age of peace and prosperity could be the most dangerous period in human history, a time of mind-boggling deception that will be humanly irresistable." (Pg. 18)
"'New Age' is a euphemism for 'old occultism.' And this is nowhere seen more clearly than in the 'new spirituality' advocated by many leaders in the Women's Movement." (Pg. 70)
"The gurus are all vegetarians; Jesus clearly was not. He fed the multitude with fish more than once; He directed Peter to go to the lake and catch a fish; on at least two occasions He helped the disciples to make a huge catch of fish in their nets; He ate fish himself; and He partook of the traditional passover feast, for which a lamb had to be killed and eaten." (Pg. 103)
"How will the Antichrist 'solve' the Jewish problem? What kind of person will he be and how will he rule the world? ... there is every reason to believe that he will inspire his followers as the ultimate example of perfect humanity... And his admirers---millions of New Agers in thousands of network groups around the world---will be sincerely implementing Antichrist's programs in the name of peace, brotherhood, and love." (Pg. 232)
