For thousands of years people have been fascinated
with predictions of the end of the world. If we look into the
inspired writings of the biblical prophets and apostles, we
find many prophecies that refer to the time of the end. Should
we take them seriously? Are world conditions such that the predictions
could be fulfilled in our day?
Jesus Christ Himself talked of a future time so horrendous that
no human beings would be spared "unless those days were
shortened" (Matthew 24:22). Did He have our time in mind?
Many prophecies leave us in no doubt that increasingly cataclysmic
events will occur before God's direct intervention in human
affairs. These terrifying prophecies will see their fulfillment
at some future time. The crucial question is when.
The eye-opening booklet, Are We
Living In The Time of the End, examines exactly
what Jesus Christ, His apostles and the prophets of old really
said about the intriguing days they refer to as the time of
the end. |
