What In The World Is Going On?: 10 Prophetic Clues You Cannot Afford To Ignore (2008) - Plot & Excerpts
This is a good collection of prophetic, end times events compared with the current state of the world. I found the first few chapters particularly intriguing, as Dr. Jeremiah discuss the switch from gold to oil, to stabilize American currency. And the summary of global oil production versus consumption was alarming. If you are someone who believes that the prophecies of scripture will be fulfilled in a literal way, like I do, you'll be interested to read Dr. Jeremiah's speculation on the shifting balance of power occurring in the world today, the strategic alliances being formed between countries, and how this fits perfectly with the necessary environment needed to usher in the end times. The first two-thirds of the book was organized well and presented prophetic events in a logical fashion, but the last third seemed to jump around, coming back multiple times to the same subjects. I'm sure if I read the book in parallel to a topical outline, his approach would have made more sense. Granted, end times prophecy is a HUGE subject and the chronology of events is debatable, but I've seen some of this same information organized in a more-logical manner elsewhere. Still, this is a great book if you want to "get your feet wet" with the subject matter. Dr. Jeremiah's ultimate intention, which I share, is to point people to redeeming work of Christ and recognize the "signs" of the times that we're living in. BOOK DESCRIPTIONIs the current economic and political crisis actually prophesied in the Bible?If so, what are we to do about it? It is hard to piece together all this information in a way that gives a comprehensive picture of what the end times will look like. That’s why so many theories abound. And that’s why Dr. David Jeremiah has written What In the World Is Going On?, a unique book that cuts through the hundreds of theories to identify the essential 10 most important bible prophecies. There is no other book like this. You’ll find it the ultimate study tool for understanding the future. You’ll have a greater sense of comfort that, even in these crazy times, God is indeed in control. If bible prophecy as always been a mystery to you, Dr. Jeremiah’s book will help you solve the mystery. At last, bible prophecy can make sense, and make a difference. What In the World Is Going On? is shocking and eye-opening but essential reading in these turbulent days.Dr. David Jerermiah is the senior pastor of Shadow Mountain Community Church in El Cajon, California.MY OPINIONI found this book to be an interesting read, especially the sections that focuse on the ancient conflicts in the Middle East and how they influence today’s politics. Dr. Jeremiah explains the differences between the various religious sects in the Middle East and the reasons for their long~standing hostilities towards each other, the nation of Israel and America. He also examines the relationship between Israel and America and how their pasts, presents and futures are intertwined. At the end of the book, significant reference material is provided to support the claims made in each chapter.Perhaps one of the more intriguing chapters is chapter 7, “When One Man Rules the World”, in which Dr. Jeremiah describes the coming world dictator. The first thing Dr. Jeremiah does is dispel the myth that Henry Kissinger (or any other public figures who have been named) is the coming Anti~Christ. Rather than name names or point fingers at individuals, what he does do is give the characteristics of the one world leader and how he will rise to power.While providing a detailed narrative for what the world will be like after the Rapture, Dr. Jeremiah is also careful enough to offer the plan of salvation at the end of each chapter. Ultimately, this is a book not of fear but of hope.This book is recommended for new as well as seasoned students of Bible prophecy.Disclaimer: This book was provided to me courtesy of Thomas Nelson (which is now Book Sneeze) free of charge in exchange for a review.
