Publisher's Synopsis
(Version 1.1 July-August, 2023, typos corrected.)
This is a whole new interpretation of Bible prophecy. It shows there is no such thing as a 7-year peace deal which is supposedly the Great Tribulation; the original Protestant view is correct. This book presents evidence for a Mid-Tribulation/ Pre-Wrath Rapture.
The author shows the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse have already ridden out during the past 2,000 years of wars, famine, and persecution. The author does not merely make assumptions; he analyzes the text to show what the four horsemen are.
Michael D. Fortner analyzes the text of many Bible passages by examining the Hebrew or Greek, and consulting many sources. He takes the view that the symbols of the Bible have a literal meaning that God wants us to understand. This book proves there will never be a world government ruled by a dictator, but there will be WW3. This book presents:
* Proof that the beast comes to power with the 5th Trumpet
* Powerful evidence for a Mid-tribulation / Pre-Wrath Rapture
* Evidence that the Bride of Christ is not the entire Church
* The Rapture will be shortly after the Beast rises to power
* Proof positive that the beast will NOT rule the entire planet
* Missiles and rockets described in detail, even the warhead
And contrary to popular teaching, America is in fact found in Bible prophecy, and is a major player, as you would expect.
The visions of Daniel also have a new interpretation. The passage in Daniel 9:27 that is supposed to refer to a 7-year peace treaty is being grossly misinterpreted. The original Protestant view of that verse is the correct view.
Daniel's vision of the four beasts and the statue with ten toes both show that there will never be a world government. The 10 horns of Daniel are not the same as the 10-horns of Revelation. Those in Daniel are proven to be the Common Wealth of Independent States (CIS). Three horns of the CIS will soon be uprooted to become horns on the Beast of Revelation. And the Bible text never says that the ten toes will rule the world, but only the fourth beast from which the horns come. Likewise, it never says the ten toes will actually break apart, which has already begun.
The book also proves that the Jews must convert before Christ will return. Yes, it is plainly stated in the Bible several times! Which makes one wonder how the opposite view could become a popular doctrine.
Though this book was not written against the pre-tribulation Rapture, the correct interpretation of Bible prophecy proves the pre-trib Rapture theory is false, seen repeatedly throughout the book. The author even found the smoking gun that kills the pre-trib theory!
He even presents a new interpretation of the two witnesses, the author shows that the symbolic meaning of the two witnesses is Christianity, which is why they cannot be killed until they have finished their testimony; which represents reaching all nations with the Gospel. They will be killed in a global terrorist attack right before the nuclear war.
This book also presents the history of Islam's war against Christianity to show how and why it is the beast of Revelation; a Revived Ottoman Empire. Turkey will become the lead nation of the 10-nation beast.
There are other books out that correlate what Islam teaches with the expected Antichrist, but they do not have the details found in this book. The author actually proves that some of the details in the other books are wrong. For example, he proves that the new theory on the mark of the beast taught by Walid Shoebat and Joel Richardson is totally wrong.
And MUCH more.
