The prophet Daniel called it the Fourth Kingdom, the last great gentile empire whose military power and political environment make it possible for an evil genius to rule the world. The presence of the Fourth Kingdom is a sign of the end times-one cannot exist without the other.
In Giants, Angels, and Things under the Earth, Chaplain Joseph Dulmage applies biblical Scripture to the possibility the Fourth Kingdom is at hand. The answers are both illuminating and unnerving.
As Christ compared the days before his return to the world prior to Noah's flood, Dulmage makes a serious examination of the antediluvian world, discovering uncomfortable parallels to modern times.
Jesus did not mean merely that mankind would be as wicked as those who perished in the flood-he meant the last days would mirror Noah's time in all aspects. Today's attitudes towards science and technology, Dulmage reveals, mirror Noah's generation. As for the Fourth Kingdom, Daniel's prophecy has direct ties to present-day America, which is evolving into a nation unrecognizable from its once proud roots.
An unstoppable metamorphosis is underway, all foreseen in the biblical narrative. How we prepare for the coming years is up to us.
