About this ebook

What does Bible prophecy tell us about the time of the end? Are we living in the end time? When will be the end of the world?

For thousands of years people have been fascinated with predictions of the end of the world. If we look into the inspired writings of the biblical prophets and apostles, we find many prophecies that refer to the time of the end. Should we take them seriously? Are world conditions such that these prophecies could be fulfilled in our day?

Jesus Christ Himself talked of a future time so horrendous that no human lives would be spared "unless those days were shortened" (Matthew 24:22). Did He have our time in mind?

Many biblical warnings leave us in no doubt that increasingly cataclysmic events will occur before God's direct intervention in human affairs. These terrifying prophecies will see their fulfillment at some future time. The crucial question is when.

This eye-opening Bible study aid booklet, Are We Living in the Time of the End?, examines exactly what Jesus, His apostles and the biblical prophets really said about the intriguing days they referred to as the time of the end. You need this vital information!

Inside this Bible Study Aid ebook:

"But we should remember that Jesus made it clear that no one could know the exact time of His return: "… Of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, but My Father only" (Matthew 24:36)."

"Some think the subject of the end time in the Bible is mainly confined to the New Testament. But beginning in Genesis, the first book of the Bible, the Scriptures look beyond our present evil age to the time of the establishing of God's Kingdom. Old Testament scriptures have much to say about events that take place during the end of this age and the following "world to come.""

"When Scripture mentions "the time of the end" or "the end of the age," it is referring to the coming end of the present evil age. This age—in reality the age of Satan—will draw to an end, replaced by the age of God's rule over and guidance of all of humanity."

"Revelation is a book written to reveal the future, and Jesus Christ is the One who does the revealing...Here is the theme of Revelation—the time of the end of the age and the return of Jesus Christ to establish God's Kingdom on earth."

"How should we view prophecy? Can it provide spiritual benefits? The apostle Peter mentioned that prophecy should serve to strengthen our hope and faith in the future (2 Peter 1:19)."

Ratings and reviews

Just started & already it says the word "global", and we do not live on a globe as said in the Bible. If you are going to believe in God, then do so properly, & that starts with reading the Bible for what it says, & not for what you want it to say. No one, not even Jesus, knows when the end will be, only Our Father(not mother nature, which was created by man, or NASA which means "to decieve" btw, & was created by five satan worshippers one of whom was Alistier Crowley, to take God out of the picture). The whole point of a spinning ball was to make way for evolution, & do away with creation. These ARE the end days, as they are as in the days of Noah. People being lovers of themselves, children disobedient to their parents. You can read & read the Bible all you like, but the exact time is known only by God, who most certainly exists.

Very well written. I had several A-HA moments that connected the dots to the knowledge that I had already acquired. Good companion to bible study. Thank you for the free educational media.

It tells us to be ready for the coming of Christ. To look around at our world and beaware we are in the 3 and a half years before Christ will come and get us. To have faith not fear Jesus will keep us aware and safe. Try and help people to see the truth and repent before it is to late for them
