Overview

What does the Bible say about the future of the world? How can the unusual events converging in our present day world be explained—wars, rumors of wars, famines, earthquakes, other disasters?

In this book you will find Jesus' forecasts of coming events. You will discover how the nations of the world will eventually line up.

• Will Russia and China pose a united threat to the West?
• Will the West ever be a great power bloc again?
• What role will the Arab nations play?
• Will Israel survive?
• Will Communism take over the world?
• What role will the church have in world affairs?
• Will peace ever reign?

The Bible has the true answers to these questions. Dr. Charles Ryrie explains clearly what the Bible teaches about the end times.

“Second, the coming days will be unique because as the end approaches, people will realize that time is running out.” (Page 21)

“Two reasons. First, the distress and despair will be on a worldwide scale.” (Page 21)

“What do we learn from this? The point is simple but profound: Changing the world does not change the human heart. Even in the most ideal environment, corruption can exist within the heart. People need something more than environmental improvement and religious knowledge. They need new life that comes from a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. Many will experience that during the kingdom, but some will reject the salvation offered by the King.” (Page 140)

“But when the end comes, people will stop talking and start acting. And their actions will take the form of self-destruction, as they seek to take their own lives before the world ends life for them.” (Page 22)

“Copies of the Old Testament are much less plentiful, but there is a good reason for that. The copies of sacred writings were so highly regarded by the Jewish people that, when worn out from long use, they were buried in sacred ground as a mark of respect. Of course, a new copy was made before the old one was buried.” (Page 9)
