How and When the World Ends: An Ancient Jewish Idiom and Feast Reveals the Day (End of World Series Book 1) Kindle Edition

I was really looking forward to reading this book, as I am an avid study of biblical prophecy. Unfortunately, this book has many errors and misconceptions.Some examples:1. The author needs to be clearer that it's the signing of the covenant that begins the Tribulation, not the Rapture itself. There's no biblical evidence of how much time passes after the Rapture occurs and the Tribulation begins. It could be hours, days, months or years. We don't know.2. The Author submits the Magog war is won by Israel (possibly using nuclear weapons), when scripture is clear the war is supernaturally won by God Himself - to magnify His Holy Name. Israel doesn't "wait" 7 years to cleanse the land. It takes 7 months to clear the bodies, and 7 years to burn the weapons. This fact alone, shows that the Magog invasion attempt must occur at least 3 1/2 years prior to the start of Daniel's 70th Week. Why? Because while Israel is in a 3 1/2 year pseudo-peace for the first half of the Tribulation, she must flee at the mid-point of this 7 year period from the Antichrist - who has set up his Abomination of Desolation in their rebuilt temple, and seek refuge in the mountains of Israel (possibly Petra). Doubtful she will be burning weapons as she flees into the hills.3. The author confuses the message Christ gave to Israel (Matthew 24 & 25) as a message to the Church. The signs given speak of Daniel's 70th Week, and refers to Israel. The 10 virgins are Israel, NOT the bride (Church). It speaks of those who have the Holy Spirit (oil) and those who do not.4. The author suggests if a Christian is not watching, he/she could be left behind in the Rapture. This is "works" philosophy, and contrary to the clear teaching of scripture that we are saved by faith, a gift of God. You cannot earn salvation, nor can you work to keep it. The Holy Spirit is our guarantee that we belong to the Lord. (See 2 Corinthians 1:22, Ephesians 1:14, 2 Corinthians 5:5). It can't be a guarantee if you can lose it.5. The Day of the Lord is not a solitary, 24 hour day. It is the entire 7 year Wrath of Christ.There are many good parts within this book, including the 7,000 year plan of God, the Jewish Feasts, the Galilean wedding custom. I give it 3 of 5.

For the past decade, I’ve been reading and searching the beliefs of pastors, Jewish leaders and lay scholars to get a picture of the end times we are in.This book captures the timeline and events we are in perfectly. Written for anyone to read, its perfect to use as a teaching or to give to others. I love this book.

The author's knowledge of the bible, Christianity, Judaism, and prophecy is on display with every page you read. This book is a quick read that will intrigue you, challenge your understanding of the bible, and motivate you to learn more! I highly recommend this to believers and unbelievers alike!! Thank you, Earl. I cannot wait for your next book, hurry, as you know, time is of the essence!!

I liked the way the author organized his thoughts, making the text very readable. While I am not entirely sure I agree with his interpretation of the book of Revelation, his content is convincing. Overall, it was an educational, yet enjoyable read. Kudos

Great book I have some differences with the author. I do not believe the rapture starts the tribulation. I do strongly believe in a pre-tribulation rapture but the timing between the rapture and the beginning of the 7 years is uncertain. The tribulation starts with the signing of the peace treaty. Also, I agree that Libya (known at that time as Put) is an enemy of Israel, another major player referred to in Ezekiel 38 is Turkey. I did not see Turkey mentioned in this book. I look forward to reading the rest of the series.

Explains the timeline of end time events as relate to current events. Prophecy has both intrigued and frightened me; this book helped me find peace that God is taking care of His children but woe to unbelievers. It is time to pray and witness about Jesus and His sure return

Alongside Scripture, I’ve read several books and many articles on various eschatological views. This one is written in a manner that makes it a very easy, beginning read, thus something I’d be comfortable sharing with people who have not studied this at all. The only thing I would have appreciated would be a visual timeline.

This is a wonderfully written book that really made me think about the future according to God. It made me more aware to faithful to tell others about Jesus and the soon coming rapture. Praise be to Jesus for the precious blood He shed to redeem me. I highly recommend this book to everyone who will stop and take the time to read it!
