Publisher's Synopsis
Christ and the prophets warned us. A time is coming when God will require the world to drink the wine of His unmixed wrath (Revelation 14:10). When this happens, God's people will suffer a terrible persecution and the world will endure a war of unprecedented destruction and slaughter. Jesus tells us that things will be so awful that "except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved" (Matthew 24:22a). Happily for God's people, Jesus also tells us that those days will be shortened and that some will escape this terrifying display of divine wrath. Daniel J. Davidson is a Christian philosopher and a passionate student of Scripture. Writing in an easy-to-read style aimed at a popular audience, he carefully examines what Scripture teaches regarding the end of the present age. His conclusions are Biblical, confessional and shocking. In particular, Davidson's investigation of Scripture and church history reveal that we are living in the final century of the present age. Furthermore, he offers powerful reasons to believe that the final indignation of God is imminent and is likely to be poured out upon the earth between 2012 and 2016. But Davidson doesn't simply explain what we should expect during this period of intense tribulation. He also offers Biblical guidance regarding how to prepare ourselves to escape it. Approaching Armageddon is a powerful book that is sure to make a lasting impact on those who read it. This is a must-read for anyone who enjoyed Isaac Newton's Observations upon the Prophecies of Daniel and the Apocalypse of St. John.
