We're all interested in what the future holds.
What can we expect? Is there a way to know what lies ahead?
Where should we look for answers? How will future events affect
our families and loved ones?
Human efforts at predicting the future are notoriously inaccurate.
Self-proclaimed seers and prophets have been proven wrong time
and time again. But there is a sure way to know what the future
holds. It's written in advance in the pages of the Bible.
The book of Revelation—the last book in the Bible—is,
to many people, its most confusing. They find its strange symbols
and images puzzling and mysterious. But it need not be so. The
book's very name means a revealing, a way to gain understanding.
Its first verse tells us it was written to reveal "things
which must shortly take place."
We've prepared an exciting, eye-opening new booklet—The
Book of Revelation Unveiled—to help you understand
what will take place in the days ahead. This 32-page full-color
booklet will take you through the major themes of the book of
Revelation, helping you discover how it all fits together. In
this booklet you'll learn tomorrow's headlines today, discovering
the major trends and events that will shape the world in the
days ahead. You can't afford to be without this priceless knowledge. |
