Selected for the Christlit Book Award 2025!
A mysterious prophecy was given to a prisoner awaiting certain execution in a dark dungeon beneath the streets of ancient Rome in A.D. 62, showing convincing evidence of being fulfilled in our contemporary American culture & society. This prophecy reveals its divine source and the season of human history in which it will come to pass. It will involve a shocking separation of cultural and religious beliefs & practices. Supernatural surrogates will promote its diabolical standard so that nations, governments, economies, and world leaders will ultimately bow in allegiance to its tenants. The system that drives this elaborate network has a defined set of strategies & schemes employed to assure it does not fail to implement its sinister plan of dominance, deception, deviation, division, and death. Despite its best efforts, failure will be its ultimate fate. Confronting a force more powerful than itself, accompanied by an army too massive to calculate, wielding an arsenal of weapons too destruction to intercept, it will fall in every attempt to prevail. Pastor, author & speaker Rick Smith unravels the divine mystery of the Apostle Paul's insightful revelation from the Biblical text in I Timothy 4:1 - "But the Spirit explicitly says that in the later times some will fall away from the faith, paying attention to deceitful spirits and doctrines of demons." Having been a student of Scripture for more than 50 years, Rick applies Biblical interpretation & application to help you see the covert progress these demonic operatives are making to position our world for the most diabolical season of human history soon to be revealed.
