Current Events in the Light of the Bible
Digital Logos Edition
Overview
The Bible, as a book of prophecy, says something about both the present and the future—it predicts universal apostasy, mired social and political conditions, increased unrighteousness, wars and rumors of wars. Gabelein’s keen eye for biblical prophecy and full awareness of current social and political strife make him well-positioned to comment on current events in the light of the Bible. He argues that the study of the end times strengthens the conviction of Christ’s imminent return, and inspires the church to persevere in spite of ominous world events. Current Events in the Light of the Bible covers political events, religious apostasy, modern delusions, social conditions, Zionism, and new discoveries; and helpfully connects biblical prophecy to the contemporary world.
