In The World of the End, Dr. Jeremiah studies the signs of the end times through the lens of teachings from Jesus Himself. Using the beginning of the Olivet Discourse in Matthew 24 as the framework for the book, he takes us to the whole of scripture to show that while it is not the end of the world yet (although it is very near), we are in the world of the end as time is quickly counting down to the imminent rapture of the church and the tribulation age. The signs in Matthew 24 are playing out today in our world exactly as the Bible said they would.

Biblical prophecy is a topic that many Christians shy away from because it can feel heavy and hard to understand. But Dr. Jeremiah presents the topic in an engaging way that is both sobering yet very encouraging and full of hope. As we see our world at large and our culture in particular spinning further out of control every day, we should not be surprised or downhearted. There is much cause for confidence as we witness prophecy being fulfilled before our eyes. And there is a challenge for us as believers to not give up or give in, but to positively and lovingly influence those around us with the gospel and be faithful until the very end.

I recommend this book to anyone, Christian or otherwise, who wants to be prepared for what is coming, be equipped to encounter what is already happening, and, most importantly, be ready to follow and endure to receive the rewards in eternity.

The World of the End by Dr. David Jeremiah is a very timely and through explanation of what is referred to as the Olivet Discourse referenced in scripture. The books of Matthew (24:4-51); Mark (13:5-37) and Luke (21:7-38) each cover this teaching of Christ prompted by the question from his disciples, " When will you return and what will be the signs of your coming"? For the purposes of his book Dr. Jeremiah is referencing the scripture from Matthew 24. Dr. Jeremiah does a wonderful job of explaining these coming signs from a 21st century view point. And yet in all these worrisome & frightening signs that are referenced, Dr. Jeremiah never lets the reader lose sight of the hope that is found in Christ as our savior. Wonderful faith building book I highly recommend!!!

Thank you NetGalley and Thomas Nelson - W Publishing for the opportunity to read and review this book.

This book is perfect for anyone who is concerned about what is happening in our world. For most of us, it's not the world we grew up in. None of what is happening these days is a surprise to God, however, since it is outlined pretty clearly in the Bible what to expect in these challenging times. Dr. Jeremiah is gifted in laying it all out so we can understand what it is exactly the Bible says.

It's not surprising that humanity is becoming more opposed to the idea that an end is coming at all. Much of the world is distancing themselves from God. Crime is running rampant, there are shortages of necessary things such as baby formula, prices are high and many are concerned about what our kids are learning in school, and don't forget the war in Ukraine. God has cautioned us that we shouldn't be surprised about any of it. Good will be called evil and evil will be called good on a unprecedented scale.

Dr. Jeremiah dissects the scriptures and explains exactly what has been foretold to us regarding living through the end times.

This advanced review copy was given to me by Thomas Nelson in exchange for an honest review.

"What will the world of the end look like" some ask, some wonder, and some just want to know what to do. David Jeremiah walks us through Jesus's words in the beginning of the Olivet Discourse in Matthew 24:1-14, to the signs of the end of times and signs of Jesus coming back. David Jeremiah walks us through what prophecy is, why it's important to know, what it says, and then goes into this passage, explaining each of the items and shows us the way forward in explaining what the world will be, (in a world of deception, be honest/ In a world of war, be calm/ in a world of disasters, be confident - these are examples and chapter titles within the book), and how we are to be within this world, and how we can then move forward with hope and even gives us scripture at the end of each chapter that helps us be honest, calm, confident, etc. Very easy to read without being overly scholarly and yet it's still very deep and informative. Highly recommend this.

Very well written with much to think about. David Jeremiah never disappoints in any of his books.
