About this eBook

 The Prolonged Struggle of Supernatural Forces for Creation’s Loyalty as Revealed In— 

Vol. V.— The Christian Era Until Victory is Unanimously Achieved — The Great Controversy. 

Heritage Edition—Some 125 Century-Old Illustrations, 558 pages. 

This volume is a portrayal of the history and future of the Christian Church from the destruction of ancient Jerusalem in A.D. 70 until the establishment of the New Jerusalem as God’s eternal capital of the universe on this earth restored, with emphasis upon the end-time prophecies of Daniel and the Revelation. A clear description is provided of the over-arching great controversy between Christ and Satan, which began in heaven but is presently battling over the souls of mankind and will be brought to an end here on this earth.

Ratings and reviews

This edition of this widely translated and distributed book is an interactive PDF designed primarily for download and use in Adobe Reader (free software on the internet) with many features—highlighting, underlining, word and phrase search, sticky notes, select, copy, paste, print, and electronic links to chapters, pages, and illustrations. I have found this book very informative as well as easy and enjoyable to use. I consider it the most helpful book, along with the Bible, in the understanding of the important Scriptural prophecies concerning our days and Christ's soon return. I recommend it to all.

I am exited that I can read on the go with this, but to have two pages at a time show up makes reading in Portrait mode a bit hard and awkward. wish I could return for a refund, but ebook, so...

THE TOUCHING STORY OF PAIN LOSS AND TOTALY VICTORY....A MUST READ FOR THOSE IN EVERY COUNTRY....CAROL
