What in the World Is Going On? 10 Prophetic Clues You Cannot Afford to Ignore By Dr. David Jeremiah / Thomas Nelson Israel, oil, the European Union, Islam; every day the media report on these flashpoint issues, but they almost never put them into the context of the biblical end times. How they relate to each other and how they relate to the last days are more important than isolated stories containing them as elements, but what does the finished puzzle look like? Combining all these with biblical themes of the Rapture, the Antichrist and Armageddon, David Jeremiah singles out ten issues relevant to the end of history as we know it, and he expertly weaves them together to illustrate a framework for the future. Stark in its depiction of upcoming world events and bold in its declaration of salvation of the repentant faithful, What in the World is Going On? helps to lift the mystery away from these often difficult to understand parts of prophecy. |
