Introduction

A recent upsurge of interest in Bible prophecy appears to be based on more than just the concept of a new millennium. People who would have nothing to do with religion in its many other forms, have suddenly become intrigued by biblical predictions and how they relate to news events of the day. Some are still bashful about confessing their interest; while others openly share their thoughts and theories with their friends.

The interest in endtime prophecy is good... but the end results may not be. Bible prophecy can be very complex, and it is easy for the uninitiated to be drawn into making or believing conclusions that go far beyond the actual intent of the prophecies.

Sadly, many of the traditional experts in theology and religion have little faith in anything except their own expertise; and many of the self-professed experts are blindly committed to making everything fit some pet theory of their own making.

What the public wants (and needs) is an explanation that is simple without being simplistic, and clear without being contrived. They want to know if the Bible really does predict the future, without being conned into a lot of double-talk that finishes up saying nothing.

This book is an attempt to meet that need.
