Greetings,After having read the Bible front to back for the 3rd time I had come to understand and believe several things about End Times Prophecy but couldn't put my finger on exactly WHY I had come to believe them. A family member handed me a worn 1st edition and once I started it I couldn't put it down.Dr. Fruchtenbaum lays out at least the 3 main arguments for each view point of a prophesied event or series of events and compares them to ALL RELEVANT SCRIPTURES, OLD TESTAMENT AND NEW. In so doing he revealed to me not a new understanding but explained WHY I had come to believe that each of the prophecies happens either in the order that is laid out and why they are to happen in the order that they do.For example,The Jewish wedding ceremony is the key to understanding both Why the Bible refers to Christians from Pentecost to "The taking away" as "The Bride of Christ" and when was the earliest and the latest time the "Rapture" as some call it would happen. All based on scripture with the understanding of the Old Testament that can only come from being brought up in the original language used by the writers of the text.Purchase at least 2 copies of The Footsteps of the Messiah: A Study of the Sequence of Prophetic Events as the one you loan out will rarely come back long enough for you to read it.
