Dear Brethren,
I've been blessed with the time and finances to own and read over 50 End Times books. After much note keeping and re-reading I can share the three best. They are:
1)'Bruce and Stan's Guide To Bible Prophecy' by Bruce Bickel and Stan Jantz
2) 'The Late Great Planet Earth' by Hal Lindsey
3) 'What On Earth Is Going On' by Mark Hitch***
I pray that these guides uplift.
In Christ, John

Ronda,
Bethel in the Old Testament was where several alters to God were built by several peaple. I don't know the exact history but I just thought FortBethel has a nice ring to it.
Cheers, John

Guys,
There's a typo in my original message with the last book.
I finally figured out what's going on here. Mark's last name has what the server is feeling is profanity. Anyhow just look for, 'What On Earth Is Going On' By Mark blank. It's like 100 pages long.

[/color][/quote] In my opinion very likely very close to the truth. In fact I think he is right. But time and what happens will soon show. One thing I like about Herb is he says "i may be wrong but this is interesting and a possible fullfillment of prophecy." He is not dogmatic but he thinks he is seeing some important things happening and is sharing those things with us. I like that. |

I assure you, those books are wrong if they profess a "rapture" of the church while everyone else endures a tribulation here on Earth.
The bible says no such thing about endtime events. Also, the 70th week of Daniel 9 was finished in 34 a.d. and it is not a future period of time. [/color] |

The book does not talk about the rapture only about current events and how they may be a fullfillment of prophesy. The author is rapture neutral. In my opinion very likely very close to the truth.

Man hardly ever recognized the fulfilling of prophecy because man tends to focus on events in time right before our eyes and really, prophecy in the bigger picture usually isn't known exactly while it's happening. I really don't buy all this talk of a third temple in Jerusalem. The bible never mentions anything like this, or that this middle East Crisis is anything but a bump in the road, a war that Jesus talked about. ( wars and rumors of wars) I don't believe there is any endtime consequences involved here, other than it is one of many endtime events, but certainly not anything of a major event of a specific prophecy.
These guys are predicting things and they don't care how many times they are wrong, hoping that they will get it right one day so they can sell more books. [/color] |

I suppose you could be right but the author of this book does not seem that way to me. Do you not believe that there is prophesy out there that has yet to be fullfilled? Are you one of those on this board who think all prophecy has already been fullfilled in God's saving work in our hearts?

Are you one of those on this board who think all prophecy has already been fullfilled in God's saving work in our hearts? No, there is still some to be fulfilled. We are almost at the end though, according to the prophecies of Daniel and Revelation.
I believe the next thing we will see is the mark of the beast becoming mandatory, and when that happens it will be a very short time until Jesus returns, probably less than one year.
I also believe it will be soon that the mark will be enforced, but no one knows when exactly.
There would be no point for prolonging Jesus' return after the mark becomes mandatory.
There also will be no middle road. Everyone will either be for or against Jesus.
