Trial, Tribulation & Triumph: Before, During, and After Antichrist
As we head into a new millennium, there is much talk about the Antichrist, the Second Coming of Christ, the great Chastisement, and even the end of the world. Desmond Birch's encyclopedic Trial, Tribulation and Triumph sifts out the legitimate, credible prophecies from the false and widely scattered body of teachings.
The author builds this case drawing heavily on sacred scripture and only those revelations and prophesies that have been approved by the Church.
Birch also traveled to Rome to translate ancient writings passed down by the Fathers of the Church contained deep in the Vatican library. Theses prophecies offer a gripped account of how the Antichrist will come to power, and how he will be ultimately defeated.
Recommended by Bishops, Priests, and Theologians alike, Desmond Birch has created nothing short of a masterpiece. Every quotation is documented and every fact thoroughly researched and footnoted. Twenty-three years in the making, Trial, Tribulation and Triumph will soon become the authority on how we view the "End Times." If you're curious about the sequence of events that will surround the end of the world, read this book.

An interesting and informative book, and yet I can't really recommend it to anyone.
First off, it was written in the late 1990s with the explicit purpose of alleviating eschatological anticipation leading up to the new millennium. Mr. Birch shows that, if you accept the testimony of the Fathers and then of the private revelations given to numerous saints throughout history, there are a number of events that will happen before the arrival of Antichrist and the return of Our Lord. As such it is still a relevant book for today.
However it clocks in at over 700 pages. It really could undergo probably a few more revisions. Quotations are repeated ... and repeated again. Birch throughout reminds the readers of the authority of private revelations, and well as that of the Fathers of the Church. Somewhat ad nauseum. It is important to establish the criteria for evaluation Tradition, tradition, and private revelation. But it could easily have been done in a much more concise way.
The book also had a number of technical formatting issues that could have been fixed had there been a better editorial process. This is something that causes me to hesitate when recommending this book to serious readers.
That said this is a fascinating topic and I am really interested in finding some more concise and professional literature on the subject.

Gaining understanding in undeveloped thoughts
in theology...... doing alot of referencing..... it’s

Christian reader to evaluate one’s beliefs and
to investigate the why.
