Very Interesting, easy-to-read book.

Buddy read with my daughter, Kristin. Very easy to read and understand, but very big 468 page e-book. The author drops a lot of Bible verses to reference, so take your time with this one. I took the time to read every single verse or chapter from my Bible and moseyed along about a chapter or two each morning.

The title might be just a little misleading. Most of the book is helping to understand what is going to happen "after" the Rapture and during the 7 year Tribulation before Christ comes to rule over the earth in peace for the 1000 years. No one, and I mean no one, knows or can predict exactly when Christ will return for his people, not even Satan. But, this book does point to at least one sign that is recorded in the Bible that we can look for during these end times.

Mainly, we should start to see a more centralized government forming among the European nation...kind of a rebirth of the Roman Empire. Daniel 7:23-24: “The fourth beast shall be a fourth kingdom on earth, which shall...devour the whole earth, trample it and break it in pieces. The ten horns are ten kings who shall arise from this kingdom”. This has yet to happen. But, today, “this concentration of power in the European Union signals the beginning of this new world order” (p. 26). “Europe is more integrated today than at any time since the days of ancient Rome and is considered to be the second most powerful political force in our world” (p. 25). The stage is set in Europe for these ten leaders to step up all at one time under one global government, which has never been the case in the entire history of the Roman Empire. Definitely watch in the news what is going on with the European Union. I have read and heard about other warning signs as we near the end times, but they aren't listed here in this book.

From the ten rulers of this European coalition, one leader will step up to take control and become the final world dictator. He will be the Antichrist. But, this Antichrist will not be known until after the Rapture when the world is in complete chaos. He will destroy three of the ten leaders and promise peace to Israel, with signed contracts and all, but it will only last for the first three and a half years of the Tribulation. The world will actually embrace this man (Daniel 7:24-25).

The rest of the book is centered on the chronological events that will take place during the Tribulation, and believe you me, you don’t want to be here. It seems that things are really spinning out of control in this world. We are spiraling towards something. I do believe that something is the Coming of the Lord. Am I ready? I DON’T KNOW! I say I believe in Jesus and I trust in Him...but do I really? Things I’m seeing and hearing about today in this world really scare me (Is that lack of faith?), and here we are just getting a tiny little sample of what’s to come during the Tribulation. I feel so weak. ( )

Excellent explanation of end times. Well written. ( )
