I.       THE CONTENT

A.     Premise:

We rapidly are approaching a period in time that the Bible refers to as the end times. This 40-year period will begin with a nuclear war in the Middle East, and includes the rapture, the tribulation and ends with the glorious second coming of Christ. The purpose of these books is to provide for the reader a description of the end times period compiled from the various Old Testament prophecies; The Next Nuclear War is a concise overview of the beginning of this period and covers a 33-year time span leading up to the tribulation, beginning with war in the Middle East and ending with the Ezekiel 38-39 Russian invasion of Israel just prior to the beginning of the seven-year tribulation itself. A brief overview of the tribulation is given as well. End Times Dawning takes a comprehensive look at the end times, the millennium and the new earth with an emphasis on Isaiah, where many of these prophecies are contained.

B.     Why these books are unique:

Most people are unaware of the Old Testament prophecies relating to the end times (or even what this term means); for example, most Christians aren’t aware of the significance of the prophesy in Ezekiel 29 which says that no foot of man or beast will walk across Egypt for 40 years, and describes what can only be a nuclear attack.  Most Christians also aren’t aware of the many other amazing prophecies in Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, Daniel and other books in the Old Testament which describe this time period—they think they’ve already been fulfilled, or that they’re far in the future, or are simply too difficult to understand.  These books systematically and concisely go through these prophecies and put them in their proper place in relation to the end times, along with a proper timeline of this period and definition of terms.  After reading these books, the reader will be able to understand:

·        The definition of “end times” and similar terms in the Bible which relate to a 40-year period of history which ends human self-government and begins government under the Lord Jesus Christ himself.

·        The role of various nations such as Egypt, Libya, Sudan, Lebanon, Syria, Gaza and West Bank which the Bible describes as attacking Israel at the beginning of this end times conflict.

·        The role of the United States as leader of the coalition invasions of Iraq (1991 and 2003) as described in Jeremiah, and the U.S. described as a nation in Isaiah.

·        The sequence of four world powers during the end times according to the Book of Daniel.

·        The Russian invasion of Israel as described in Ezekiel 38-39.

·        A detailed description of the Antichrist, including probable place of birth and role in the end times—and possibly how to identify him right now.

·        A detailed description of the false prophet including his probable place of birth and physical identifying features.

·        A general time frame for the rapture.

·        The teachings of Jesus about the end times and his admonition to watch and pray.

C.     Overview:

These books systematically and carefully go over Old & New Testament prophecies relating to the end times, the millennial kingdom of Christ, and finally, the new earth—the eternal one. They uncover some amazing prophecies which as yet have not been explained in another book, such as:

·        The nuclear destruction of the Aswan Dam in Egypt and subsequent death of most of her population by catastrophic flooding and radioactive fallout.

·        The 1991 Gulf War and 2003 invasion of Iraq, led by the US as described in Jeremiah, and a general timetable for the next and final invasion.

·        Israeli invasion of the West Bank and Gaza Strip and conquest of these territories.

·        The United States in prophecy, the loss of much of our population in the rapture, and subsequent conquest by other nations including Russia as described in Isaiah and Daniel.

·        A detailed description of the Antichrist as an alcoholic, uncircumcised womanizer in Habakkuk; also of his mortal head wound, and an explanation of the mysterious beast that arises from the bottomless pit, who “was, and is not, and yet is” in Revelation.

·        A physical description of the false prophet and his handicapped right arm and right eye, as described in Zechariah.

II.    READERS

A.     Characteristics:

The audience for these books will be Christians who are interested in end-times prophecy.  As time passes and world events become more catastrophic, the audience will include those who will wonder what’s going on.  Once a nuclear war in the Middle East actually happens and the end times begins, this book will be an important reference guide to Scripture and what it says about this time period, and about what people can expect to happen in the future.

B.     Motivations:

The audience for this book will become increasingly concerned as they see signs converging all around them—economic and political troubles, drought, large meteors, and a strange sense of foreboding that something isn’t quite right--and will want to read Bible prophecy to figure out what it all means.

C.     Affinity Groups

2.      Fans of the Left Behind series.
