From the Beginning of the End to the End of the Beginning: The Past, Present and Future of Created Life

Two warnings Jesus had expressed to His disciples in Matthew 24 serve as the driving force for this book: "See to it that no one misleads you" (v. 4) and "the coming of the Son of Man will be just like the days of Noah." (v. 37) Mr. Hyland's concern is that the Church of Jesus Christ needs to prepare now for two trending threats, a subtle one to the US Constitutional democracy and the semi-veiled one to worldwide Christianity. The author's structured approach in presenting his case commences with a perceptive commentary on Genesis to highlight the perfections of life's elements God had created. His purpose is to enable the reader to discern and recognize mankind's disregard for that perfection both in ancient times as well as in contemporary life. That knowledge Mr. Hyland believes is necessary in order to prepare the reader's defenses against all forms of deceit. The last phase of this book focuses on the Apostle John's spiritually gained futuristic insights, particularly on the harsh challenges Satan's angels will thrust on believers in-and-of Jesus as they faithfully struggle to persevere in the thick of persecution at the 'end times.'
