Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 Revelation is the book of consummation. It tells us the ending of the story that began in Genesis 1. It reveals that this world is headed for a seven-year period of divine judgment, and that God alone can foretell the future with 100 percent accuracy. #2 The preterist view is that Revelation is primarily a prophecy of events surrounding the destruction of Jerusalem in AD 70. They believe that Christ returned in AD 70 during the destruction of Jerusalem by the Romans. #3 The historicist view, which began with Joachim of Fiore in the twelfth century, interprets Revelation as a panorama or overview of the entire church age. However, few today hold this view. #4 The idealist view believes that the book of Revelation is meant to be interpreted symbolically, without regard for the original meaning of the text. This view is extremely reader-centered, and it lacks an interpretive anchor that would help hold the book together.

Writing 2,500 years ago, the prophet Ezekiel predicted a Russian-Islamic invasion of Israel in the last days.

Hitchcock then considers the time and motives for their attack. Finally, he discusses God's dramatic intervention that will pave the way for the Antichrist's worldwide empire.

The apostle John saw a vision of four horses (white, red, black, and pale) galloping across the world in the end times, leaving unbelievable destruction in their wake. The chilling imagery of that vision has gripped believers for over two thousand years. The purpose of the book is to take an in-depth look at these four mysterious horsemen and show how their approach seems to be developing before our eyes, signaling the advent of that terrible seven years known as the Great Tribulation. The four horsemen are symbolic of great movements that will mark the onset of that climactic era in history.
