As militant, power-seeking nations amass terrifying weaponry peaceful countries are forced to respond with costly heightened defence systems. Morality is sinking and crime is on the increase. The world is spiraling out of control and an end-time is fast approaching. Suddenly this Planet will enter the last seven years of life as we know it! That future time foretold in ancient writings is just round the corner. Deep questions about our mortality, our personal destiny and the future of Earth are examined in this book. The Holy Bible has a lot to say about what is to come! There are four main themes and the first is the 'Rapture' of the Church. In 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18 the Apostle Paul describes how Jesus Christ, Son of God will gather up to Heaven firstly Christians who have died and secondly living Christians. He knows exactly those who have been his genuine followers and will transform all of them to immortality in the blink of an eye. He will snatch them up to be with him. The genuine Church will disappear from Earth, leaving behind the undecided and those who pretend to be Christians but are not! There are many scriptures from the Old Testament as well as the New, which shed light on the plan and timing of the Second Coming of God's Son, Jesus. There are also some indications of what will happen to the raptured Church. There will be a Judgment and a Wedding Celebration! Make sure you're not one of those left behind! The second theme is the 'Tribulation.' The Apostle John as a prisoner on the island of Patmos was given a revelation by Jesus of the end-times. He details a seven-year period of intense suffering with a significant miraculous event involving a pair of evangelists happening exactly half-way through. The second half is designated as 'The Great Tribulation.' The seven years turn out to be the missing seventieth seven year period of Daniel's seventy times seven years prophecy (Daniel 9:24-26). Messianic Jewish believers fill the blank space left by the missing Church. Israel has a national revelation that Jesus is actually their long-expected 'Christ' or 'Messiah, ' so they fill in the gap left by the Church as God's mouthpiece. In particular the Gospel is preached in Jerusalem by two powerfully inspired Jewish preachers, who for three and a half years are given divine protection by God and murderously hated by the majority of people! The third theme is the rise of the 'Antichrist' and his accomplice, the 'False Prophet.' These two are empowered and controlled by Satan, otherwise known as the Devil or the Destroyer. God allows this evil pair to perform spectacular miracles to fool and dominate the world during the Tribulation. Those who respond positively to the preaching of the Messianic Jews are persecuted and martyred. The rest worship Antichrist, who invades the new, third Jewish Temple in Jerusalem and proclaims himself God. This is the 'abomination of desolation' in Daniel 12:11. Those who submit to Antichrist receive his 'Mark' and the code '666' may provide their identity as his followers. The fourth and final theme wraps up the whole period with the 'Victorious Appearing.' Jesus returns to Earth accompanied by the Church and Angelic Armies to defeat Antichrist with the breath of his mouth, and the Devil is temporarily removed. Following the Battle of Armageddon Jesus reigns on Earth from Jerusalem for a thousand years. This is the 'Millennium, ' which ends with Satan's brief final fling and permanent removal to Hell after a huge battle. Then comes the resurrection of all non-believers, who face judgment before the Great White Throne! Finally the Holy City, the New Jerusalem descends from Heaven and only those whose names are in the 'Book of Life' are allowed to enter! If you want your name inscribed in that book, all you have to do is call on the Name of Jesu
