Introduction
It seems as if the world is getting more and more troubled. There are wars, famines, earthquakes, new diseases; there are increases in corruption, immorality, and violent crime all over the world. It is no wonder that many ask if we are living in the Last Days, if the end of the world is near.
- What is the world coming to?
- What is the rapture?
- Is Armageddon around the corner?
- Is the return of Christ at the door?
- Can we know the future?
These are just some of the questions people are asking. There is great uncertainty in the air. In spite of breathtaking advances in science and technology, we have seen the condition of humanity only get worse and worse.
In these anxious and critical days, some look to politicians and world leaders for direction, hoping that they will lead to peace. Others turn to psychics, fortune tellers, or the latest prediction of the supermarket tabloid prophets. Yet, all the while there has been someone who knows exactly what the future holds, and He tells about it in His book—the Bible.
