For thousands of years people have been fascinated
with predictions of the end of the world. If we look into the
inspired writings of the biblical prophets and apostles, we
find many prophecies that refer to the time of the end. Should
we take their messages seriously? Are world conditions such
that these predictions could be fulfilled in our day?
Jesus Christ Himself foretold a future time so horrendous that
no human beings would be spared "unless those days were
shortened" (Matthew 24:22). Was He referring to our troubled
age? Many prophecies leave us in no doubt that increasingly
cataclysmic events will occur before God's direct intervention
in human affairs. These terrifying prophecies will see their
fulfillment at some future time. The crucial question is when.
This eye-opening booklet, Are
We Living in the Time of the End?, examines exactly
what Jesus Christ, His apostles and the prophets of old really
said about the intriguing days they refer to as the time of
the end. |
