 Here
are some extracts from the book..........
THERE'S A THUNDERSTORM COMING
'One drop of rain on your window pain,' as the song says, 'doesn't
mean to say there's a thunderstorm coming.' But, that one drop has become a continual downpour, and with
the huge black thunderheads gathering in the distance, the long range forecast looks very bad; decidedly
dangerous even. Indeed, a major aim of this book is to act as a DANGER! STORM IMMINENT! warning. So that
some of us may be able to change course in time and head for calmer waters. Others may leave it a bit
late for that and have to batten down the hatches to try and ride it out. Sadly, many will take no notice
at all and will carry on doing their own thing, whatever the cost. They will turn a deaf ear and blind
eye as the Captain of the heavenly ark urges them to come aboard and find safety. Yet, they will be enthralled
as the demonic Long John Silver chortles, "Stay with me, me hearties! We'll be fine!" They won't even
realise that as he takes their hand to welcome them aboard the already sinking ship, that he'll leave
in their palm the dreaded black spot; or will it be the mark of the beast? THIS SAME JESUS
The second coming of Jesus has, to some extent, been thought of as imminent
in every generation of the Church. And this thought has been a great encouragement and hope to a multitude
of world-weary and beleaguered Christians. But much of the prophetic timetable of events leading up to
the Lord's return has been totally or partially misunderstood, or even disregarded; and He has been away
for so long that there are now many more who scoff at the idea of a personal return of Jesus Christ to
the earth. Yey despite the scoffers and doubters and those who couldn't care less, and despite the fact
that the Master has been gone a long time (which He foretold in several verses of Scripture), the pages
of the prophetic calendar have continued to turn steadily until the world's history reached into this
twentieth century. Then they were hit by a whirlwind that thrashed them over in a blur. The ongoing fulfilment
and greater understanding of 'end-time' prophecy accelerated rapidly, and we are now living in a world
and a time that is nothing more than a reflection and a growing realisation of such prophecy.
