Whether it's THIS book on prophecy or Daymond Duck's books of the "Smart Guide to the Bible" on Revelation and Daniel too, these books are filled to the brim with information made simple. Line by line examination of the Scripture, comments by the most reputable Bible-believing scholars and lots of great illustrations by cartoonist Reverend Fun". These are the go-to books for the modern examination of Bible Prophecy. And if you're like me and feel a deep need to know, you'll be going to them over and over again through the years as you sort out fact from non-sense and study God's Word.

I highly recommend them to both new Christians and "old timers" like me (Nope. I didn't "out" my age on the internet this time) for an insightful and encouraging read as we navigate these difficult and dark days that are so unlike the original times when I was barely twelve years old back in 1978. (Arg! 🙊)

Sincerely, Laura-Lee

PS. Is it a "spoiler" to tell you that Jesus comes back? So be it! We're going to need all the hope and encouragement we can get! LL

This series is outstanding! I love the background and insights into the lifestyle and thought patterns of the days when each passage was written, the cross references, the prompts that add just a little bit more to think about, and the fullness of what each chapter covers. On days when life is a bit too much, and my mind is not able to concentrate and dig deep, I can read the chapter and rely on the quoted scripture, and feel fed. I can then go back and reread the chapter the next day, or while life has been less stressful, and take some real time to read all of the scriptural references, and to reflect and pray. Both options are open to me, as well as everything in between. These are great books for the Christian who is ready to take the next small step from a two minute devotional that covers one or two verses to one that is still short but digs a little deeper and covers a little more ground. They are also great for the Christian who is craving real meat and potatoes in their devotional life and Bible study. They are all worth going back for a second read a year, or ten, later. I keep them handy on my bookshelf, and often refer to them when I am confused or perplexed about someone's interpretation of a specific passage. The books give me pertinent information, in a format I can earily read and retain, that allows me to form my own opinon of what the scripture is saying.

This was a great book that explained several prophecies listed throughout the entire Bible. I enjoyed the fact that not one or two, but several scholars and theologians have their comments listed to assist in understanding what the Bible is predicting. The Smart Guide to the Bible series has been great for me. I have learned so much more than just reading the Bible by itself. I would recommend this series for any individual or group that wants to understand "the word" better. A great book for readers of all ages.

I throughly enjoyed reading and studying this book. The prophesies are explained in a simple way to help guide Christians over some confusing topics.
