This is the revised 1994 edition, the first copy was written in 1986. In this book Irvin Baxter shows where the U.S., Britain, Germany and Russia are prophecied in scripture. If you like this book I strongly suggest you order his Bible study "Understanding The Endtimes".

The correct interpretation of 1 Peter 1:20, although it is often ignored, is that Peter is actually refering to "the prophet's own understanding", meaning that no scripture comes from the understanding of the particular prophet that recieved the message. This passage is not referring in any way to an interpreters understanding of the scripture. Therefore, although this passage is often used to critisize objective, and often times somewhat bizarre interpretations of scripture, both by scholars and the unlearned alike, it is nevertheless applied completely incorrectly. D.L.M

First Peter 1:20 admonished us that "no prophecy is a matter of one's own interpretation". Baxter's work represents his own extremely unique and totally illogical interpretation of Scripture. It is best to be avoided.
