The purpose of this book is 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.
Finally, this book will provide the reader with an understanding of the origins of the modern end-times view and how it has gradually become the prevalent view today.
