Politics & Prophecy:
A Lawyer’s View of the End Times
by Gerald R. Thompson*
Will the world end? Of course it will. The question isn’t when, but how. Discover the thread that ties all end times prophecies together. Learn about the coming war for nations, kingdoms and empires. It’s an epic struggle for control of the heavens and earth. It’s amazing how little things have changed in 5,000 years.
But also understand the politics of the end times – and the politics of prophecy. Who will be the leaders, and who will be subservient? Will there be a one world government – or a one world religion? How will society be organized and structured? This is a completely unique take on the subject that challenges conventional wisdom.
