If you are interesting about the return of our lord Jesus Christ this book will interest you very much

Here's a partial list of contents from the alphabetical table of topics: -70 Weeks of Daniel -666 -1000 Years -144,000 -Abomination of Desolation -Abrahamic Covenant ... -Demons and Unclean Spirits -Dispensationalism -Dispensations -Elders (24) -Eschatology -Eternal Life -Ezekiel, Eschatology of -False Prophet ... -Isaiah, Eschatology of -Israel in Prophecy -James, Eschatology of -Jeremiah, Eschatology of ... -Midtribulationism -Millenial Sacrifices -Millenial Temple -Millenial Views ... -Trumpet of God -Typology -Vengeance ... -World Empire -Wrath of God -Wrath of the Lamb -Zechariah, Eschatology of Since the book is an encyclopedia not a polemic (unlike other LaHaye and Ice books), it reports/describes, rather than advocates for the authors' particular endtimes view (pre-trib, pre-mil dispensationalist). It's a helpful book for those who know what they're looking for; otherwise, to read this alphabetical reference from start to end, as if it were a narrative, might seem random or confusing.

This book is written by several authors and gives varying opinions on the topics of Bible Prophecy. I found the book informative and consider it a must have. I find myself picking this book up to read many times a week. It is not a read from front to back type of book as it is an encyclopedia and arranged by topics. I have purchased one and gave it to a pastor who will be doing a study at my church but I missed the book so much that I purchased one again to keep for myself. The authors provide Biblical scriptures as references to prove points and I must say I can actually talk about The Revelation and other Bible prophecies in the gospels now with some knowledge.

As the name implies, this is an encyclopedic reference for Scriptural prophesy. In the front of the book is a list of topics (table of contents) of all 140+ topics discussed, and then an index of charts. A short introduction from LaHaye and Hindson follows that discusses the need for such a book. Topics are then laid out in alphabetical order and covers topics from all prophetic writings in Scripture, not just those found in Revelation. This book hails from the Pretribulational-Premillenial standpoint, as do LaHaye's writings. It is key to know this in purchasing this book. He defines and critiques other views, such as Post-Tribulation Rapture and Amillenialism. This is a superb book for reference regarding literal-exegetical prophetic teachings and a basic discussion of allegorical alternative views. This is not a book for the theologian, as the title also aptly states (the POPULAR Encyclopedia...), and is great for the beginning student or the teacher of prophetic theologies.

Any topic, event, person, or place that surrounds the subject of Bible prophecy is found here in this easy-to-use book. I've never had the privilege of hearing Dr. LaHaye speak, but I have had many opportunities to hear Dr. Hindson. Honestly, I have never heard the book of Revelation explained so simply as I have heard it explained by Ed Hindson. He is a great communicator, teacher and speaker. This combined with Tim LaHaye's obvious knowledge of end-time events combine to create a marvelous resource for the study of Biblical Prophecy that will make the Word of God come alive! Take the time to give this book a second look and you'll thank me. For it will lead to many, many more!

This text is "user-friendly", interesting and factual; equally useful for the Biblical novice and the "less than novice".
