The book presents a devotional study of the Gospels, emphasizing their self-authenticating nature and the divine inspiration felt by readers who approach them with an open heart. Dr. Desmond Ford, with nearly 70 years of study on the New Testament, aims to guide thoughtful readers in experiencing this "inner witness" of authenticity and inspiration.
Exploring the foundation of personal philosophy, the book argues that our daily choices are influenced by our beliefs about the universe and humanity's purpose. It challenges readers to consider whether life is a product of chance or divinely orchestrated, presenting the Christian faith as a compelling framework for understanding meaning and morality. By examining the odds in favor of the existence of God as described in the Bible, it posits that embracing this faith offers the most profound basis for living a meaningful life.
We are all interested in the future, because that's where we are hoping to live. In the Bible, the special book about the future is the last one the book of Revelation. It is often thought to be a mysterious book, but in fact it's a mosaic of over 500 Old Testament references. These references are the keys with which we may unlock the Apocalypse. Prominent in its forecasts are allusions to Jezebel and Elijah. Most have heard of the world's last conflict called Armageddon. But few realize that Armageddon cannot be understood without studying its Old Testament source the histories of Ahab, Jezebel, Elijah at Mount Carmel, and the destruction of idolaters in the Kishon Valley (at Megiddo, which is the Hebrew root name for the Greek word Armageddon).Desmond Ford has two doctorates, and two of his postgraduate degrees are in eschatology. He has written 10 books on Daniel and Revelation and lectured in many countries on these themes. Here, Ford focuses in on future events typified by the Old Testament stories of Elijah versus Jezebel. Central to this study are investigation into Antichrist and his attacks on the latter day church. Revelation's messages for an imperiled world are central in this book.
The book explores the complexities of Revelation, often regarded as the Bible's most challenging text, and highlights its unique blessing for readers. It emphasizes that understanding this book requires knowledge of the previous 65 books of the Bible, particularly focusing on the life and teachings of Jesus. Desmond Ford draws on decades of study and research to provide insights into the symbols and messages within Revelation, making a case for its relevance to the gospel and the fate of the saints at the end of time.
