We're all interested in what the future holds. What can we expect in the coming months and years? 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 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 puzzling. They find its strange symbols and images confusing and mysterious. But it need not be so. The book's very name means a revealing, an opening up to 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.

Cover Story

Who Will Be the Next Superpower?
The collapse of the Soviet Union left the world with one remaining superpower, the United States. Like the earlier collapse of the British Empire, the sudden fall of the U.S.S.R. shows that no great power can take superpower status for granted. Unthinkable as it may seem, the days of U.S. supremacy may be numbered as a new power begins to emerge on the world scene.

The Survival Game: Who Wins?
A hit television show distills many common human experiences into one central theme: survival. That goal has driven the human race from the beginning-and explains a great deal about the sad state of our world.

When I Die Will I Go to Heaven?
Millions of people assume they'll go to heaven at death, there to spend all eternity. But will they? The Good News radio program recently examined this important topic and offered this overview of what the Bible has to say.

Archaeology and the Epistles
Many letters from the apostles are preserved for us in the New Testament, and many of them mention fascinating historical details. How do history and archaeology help illuminate these 2,000-year-old writings?
