Prophecy Paradox: The Case for a First Century End Time

It's time for the paradox. We've all heard biblical predictions of the end time: wars, cataclysm, apocalypse. You've heard predictions of the future, but the paradox is in the past. "PROPHECY PARADOX: The Case for a First Century End Time" shows these prophecies were ancient predictions for the first century. Here is evidence the historical "end time" took place in the first century; and that's the paradox.

"PROPHECY PARADOX: The Case for a First Century End Time" offers a well organized and documented case for first century fulfillment of prophecy. The first Christians 2000 years ago lived in the "last days," and the "end of all things" was at hand in their immediate future. The origin of "end of the world" prophecies was a series of signs meant for those who lived 2000 years ago. Although we are popularly inclined to look for these signs today, this approach is out of context with original intent. "PROPHECY PARADOX: The Case for a First Century End Time" uses source material from the Bible and original Roman Empire histories to show that all the signs were seen in the first century within the generation of the apostles.

"PROPHECY PARADOX:: The Case for a First Century End Time" provides valuable resource material for those interested in the subject. The book includes detailed historical documentation, as well as an index, Table of Contents, chronological table, listing of time statements, table of Old Testament Prophecies Fulfilled, bibliography, and various maps, charts and illustrations.

Here is a unique interpretation of prophecy that ties the return of Christ to a well documented cataclysmic, historical event. This book makes a case that all prophecy is fulfilled and that Christ returned in A.D.79 during the eruption of Mt. Vesuvius. Many of the signs predicted to occur just before His return are well explained by the ash, smoke, quakes, gas and debris expelled by the volcanic explosion. This explanation differs from the traditional preterist view that the destruction of Jerusalem was the key historical event marking Christ's return. This book challenges the foundations of current eschatological theory.
