The future is revealed through a detailed understanding of ancient historical documents. "The Message for the Last Days" explains the history and progression of end time prophecies found within and outside of the Bible. It reveals the original message compared to changes over time leading to modern interpretation.
"The Message for the Last Days" explains how modern Christian culture has created numerous beliefs about end time events, while determining that there can only be one correct answer based upon the original intent. Extensive research traced the roots of Biblical prophecies to build a foundation for predicting which interpretative method fits the single solution. It clearly shows where we started and where we are going in a logical, step by step format. The results are revealed to be vastly different than most widely held Christian cultural beliefs today. The answers will be surprising to many as to the extant that modern culture has affected Christianity.
How can we know what the future holds if we don't understand the past? This question is at the heart of this book as much of modern Christian culture has lost its roots. The crux of the book is derived from Biblical interpretation methods that were used in a consistant manner to find hard truths about our fate mentioned in the Bible.
Topics include answers to these questions:
Why is the Christian Church so divided with many different denominations and independent Churches? Isn’t there just one true Church?
How did the modern Church get so far removed from early Church beliefs as clearly stated in the New Testament and by the early Church fathers?
What are the original prophecies in the Old Testament about the end times and how are they repeated in the New Testament?
Does the nation of Israel have anything to do with end times?
What is the true meaning of the Gospel and salvation?
All of these questions are answered by a thorough examination of the various interpretation methods used by different belief systems. Incorrect interpretation of the Bible is the core issue behind diverse Church beliefs.
“The Message for the Last Days” explains six different Biblical interpretations then reveals a unified interpretative approach.

Readers of any long, difficult book will know the temptation to skip to the last pages to find out what happens in the end. But there is no satisfaction in taking such a shortcut. The sum of the narrative ebbs and flows provide the conclusion its power and meaning. For readers of the Bible, the book of Revelation has a similar allure: How does it all end anyway? But the same principle applies: Revelation is the last book of the Bible we should study. Without a foundational understanding of the gospel message, we won’t be able to understand the Apocalyptic prophecies.
A key to understanding the Bible is learning how to properly interpret it through the guidance of the Holy Spirit. Sounds simple. However, cultural traditions and personal biases complicate our efforts. Another barrier arises from the biblical concept that there are three realms of existence: our physical world, God’s heavenly realm, and a spiritual realm that bridges the other two. This multi-realm structure can create paradoxes where something is true in one realm but may seem contradictory in another realm. Passages that seem contradictory are possible to harmonize by identifying their relationship to these separate realms. But we will be frustrated and confused if we try to force all passages into merged realm context. The kingdom of heaven’s interaction on earth is a good example that will be thoroughly explored.
