7 Year Apocalypse

The book wasn't as detailed as I'd hoped, although he did a good job of explaining his position on a post tribulation rapture. He also convinced me that the (great and terrible) day of the Lord is the millennial reign of Christ - great for believers, terrible for everyone else. The thing I found hard to stomach was his enthusiasm about the up and coming end of the world. It is hard to get behind this sentiment when the reader is constantly reminded that the odds of them dying horribly before Jesus's second coming are very high. Personally I would prefer not to be alive in those times given the horrible suffering described. Maybe this makes me less of a Christian. I think it would have been better if he'd have focused on God's promises to His faithful rather than dwelling on the terrible suffering we are to expect. I know he confirms modern churches for doing just this. I am not after a prosperity gospel, but what I do love to hear are the many stories of where God has come through for people. A few personal antidotes to that effect would have made the pill easier to swallow. My children like watching Torchlighters detailing the trials of famous Christians. I find the instants where God miraculously helps them to be very uplifting. Unfortunately after reading this rather than being inspired, I feel inadequate and depressed. I'm not sure this was the author's intent.

Interesting prophesies mainly in relation to modern day peoples, end times dreams and visions, relates to foretold earthquakes and tsunamis and glimpses into a view of the end times and how it will unfold.
