The Coming Apocalypse: What You Need to Know

Book excerpt: GLOBAL natural disasters, economic turmoil, wars, revolutions and moral decay have people everywhere wondering if the end of the world as we know it is not near. THOSE TEXTS deemed sacred to Judaism, Christianity and Islam all predict a coming Messiah. Many adherents in each of these religions are convinced that their Messiah will come in this generation. ROME: 900 years ago St. Malachy's supposed "Prophecy of the Popes" predicted the last Pope to be Benedict XVI's successor during whose time there would be great persecution of the Church. After his papacy the city on seven hills would be destroyed and the terrible Judge would come to judge the people. Is there any truth to those prophecies? JERUSALEM is a city that has been fought over by all three faiths. Is there more than meets the eye as to why this city is of such importance? In this book, Dan Pinckney, looks at the writings of the Jewish Tanakh, the Christian Bible, with a particular examination of the Book of Revelation, and the Muslim Qur'an and Hadith. What do they have to say about their coming Messiah, Jesus, Mahdi, and Antichrist, their predictions of global domination, the future of Jerusalem as the world's capital city and the global wars and catastrophes to come?
