The End of the End Times

This book was written to provide a historical context to Bible prophecy. Each chapter will take the reader through a journey of biblical history beginning with the Assyrian Empire and up to the events surrounding the destruction of the Jewish temple in AD 70. Along the way, the reader will be shown how the prophetic books of the Bible relate to the events that occurred during the time in which they were written.
