Publisher's Synopsis
Dr. Stafford North answers many common questions about the end of time. - What and when are the "last days"? - What does the Bible teach about the end of time? - Do Old Testament prophets predict an earthly reign of Christ? Will it last a thousand years? - Will there be a rapture? - Are there signs which signal the coming of the end of time? - Do Bible prophets foretell of a great war just before the end of the world? - Will one or two antichrists plunge the earth into that final war? Drawing from a lifetime of study, North explores biblical teaching about the last days, Book of Revelation and second-coming of Christ, while addressing many of the popular end times theories and myths. Like a Thief in the Night serves as an excellent companion study to North's book, Unlocking Revelation, and contains teaching outlines for each chapter.
