Never before has faith in the Word of God been so undermined as in recent years. Paradoxically, the closing stages of the last millennium have also been characterized by millennial fever, experiential religion, and the rise of numerous new religious ideologies. These trends are continuing as the new millennium opens before us. Indeed, the plain teachings of the Scriptures are eclipsed by the many paranormal revelations and teachings of our age. Eastern mysticism and New Age thinking have eroded the ancient pillars of truth and new ideologies have replaced the eternal landmarks. Truth no longer matters; harmony and cooperation is what counts.
We are living in an age of compromise. In the interest of peace and harmony, truth has often been sacrificed. It is argued that all religions are equal and that in spite of differences in doctrine and approach, they ultimately all lead to God. This thinking has lead to greater cooperation between religions, and within Christianity itself, the ecumenical old hatchets are being buried! Roman Catholics, Orthodox religions, and Protestants are beginning to see eye to eye.
This book is not intended to be a recipe book for salvation. There are no ingredients to be mixed and consumed in order to attain salvation. Salvation is found only in Him who “…is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by Him, seeing He ever liveth to make intercession for them.” (Heb 7:25) This book is not intended to augment the Scriptures, but is written to support its claims.
The authenticity of the Bible is examined in the light of the fulfilment of prophecies and the great archaeological discoveries of our age. Moreover, the prophecies of Daniel and Revelation pertaining to our time are discussed in the light of current world events.
The unfolding of prophetic events as foretold in the Scriptures lends credence to its claims as truly being the Word of God. It compels us to make a decision and invites us to accept God’s rescue plan of salvation. I believe that God’s truth will ultimately triumph. He is absolutely trustworthy, and the road He invites us to travel is well worth travelling.
