This book presents biblical end-times prophecy in an uncomplicated, non-intimidating format. Although it approaches the subject in a light-hearted style, the content is reliable and accurate. This book exposes readers to the main aspects of end-times prophecy and to the various views on how biblical predictions will be fulfilled. Chapters explore important features of biblical prophecy (the Tribulation, the Antichrist, the Rapture, the battle of Armageddon), as well as issues that relate to our personal future (death, future accountability to God, eternity). Each chapter includes special elements like Techno-speak (an explanation of difficult words), Point 2 Remember (a concise summary of the chapter), and Digging Deeper (resources for further study). The format includes plenty of graphics and visual features to keep the reader's attention and to enhance the main text. The author shares his own perspective (pre-millennial, pre-tribulation, moderately dispensational) as part of each chapter, yet his goal is to present each position fairly and honestly. He focuses on why Christians may disagree on how the end times will unfold, and highlights the areas of agreement among Christians on issues related to the future.
