The Day and the Hour

by Francis X. Gumerlock

Trying to predict the return of Christ and the end of the ages began two thousand years ago and continues to this day. Gummerlock has compiled a one-of-a-kind history of these foolhardy predictions. This fascinating chronicle of predictions will rivet the attention of any student of Bible prophecy. Regardless of your eschatological position, you must have this book. Gumerlock looks at date-setting from the first century to the present and beyond showing the utter futility of trying to predict when the end might come.

Gumerlock handily catalogs 2000 years of we Christians badly predicting Christ's coming, the Antichrist, and end time events. And unbelievers have a lot to laugh at, considering our temptation to mark the end times every time a dictator sneezes. Good for reference.

This book is really just a reference book documenting false eschatological predictions through out history with cool cover art.

Mostly a bunch of historical dates.

Fascinating info

[Michael · Rating 3 out of 5]

People have always been intrigued by the end of days. This book gives brief details of hundreds of different end times predictions from the last 2,000 years. The one thing they all have in common is they all missed it. I think this is a pretty good book, however I dislike the way some of the first century prophecies are dealt with in this book.

[Grace Church]

Ever wonder when the end of the world was coming? Or who the Antichrist is (or was)? Many have (and all incorrectly so far). I don't know that this is a book you could read from cover to cover, unless you like lists of dates and of the incorrect prophecies. Still, it's a fascinating read.
