What in the World is Going On? A Review

Jesus chided the Pharisees for being able to look at the current weather patterns and reasonably predict forthcoming weather, but their inability to look at the various geopolitical events of their time and understand them in light of prophecy.  

Today we see many signs that the end is fast approaching and still many believers live as if time is not running short.  We worry more about our plans for the weekend or that vacation trip than we do about making sure our non-believing friends get to spend their eternity with Jesus. 

Dr. David Jeremiah addresses some of the signs that show things lining up for the end, and he does so without a sense of foreboding that can be so prevalent in this type of writing. Rather, he gives us hope and reminds us throughout that God is on control of and is orchestrating the events we see online, on tv and on the newspapers. 

The book serves as a basic primer on eschatology and is very helpful if you don’t really know a lot about the subject.  Dr. Jeremiah reminds us– informs us, as the case may be–that there are more prophecies about the end times than there are about Jesus.  As he instructs us on such matters, he weaves current events into the discussion to help us better understand them and their prophetic significance.

I would recommend this book to anyone wanting a better understanding of current events in the light of biblical eschatology.
