This book makes a convincing case for the fact that we are indeed living in the last days of the present age. The author begins by looking at what God says about the last days, then at what the signs of the times are, then examines the foundations upholding society, which are being destroyed. There is then a section dealing with the rise, decline, and alignment of nations, including the United States, and also a discussion of major events taking place since 1989, where it is shown that these changes must occur before the present age can end. Then the author ends with an examination of Revelation 13, which deals with the antichrist, a one world government, the false religious system on earth, and the mark of the beast, where one will not be able to buy or sell without this mark. The book does not attempt to sensationalize nor speculate, but seeks to remain within the context of what God has already made known.
