The Shadow of the Apocalypse: When All Hell Breaks Loose

Rating:
Summary: Jesus said, "Come and See."
Review: 'The Shadow of the Apocalypse' is an excellent introduction to modern day prophecy study.

In the foreword, Hal Lindsey reveals the early influences that drew himself into the study of prophecy as well as the consequent meeting in the 70's with the founder of a new Christian television station, Paul Crouch. Personal details, like these, help to fill in the blanks and flesh out the lives of men leading the examination of prophetic Scripture.

That the backdrop for these testimonies is the adumbration of the Tribulation simply draws the reader to understand these are ordinary men with extraordinary callings. Yet their humanity remains intact.

Dr. Crouch immediately pays tribute in his opening remarks to the help given by Messianic Rabbi Yacov Rambsel, author of 'The Genesis Factor'.

In 'The Genesis Factor,' the Rabbi leads the reader step by step through the Equidistant Lettering System process and exposes scores of sanctified snippets of world history across the ages confirmed embedded in the Hebrew portions of Scripture.

Dr. Grant Jeffrey, friend and associate in study with Rabbi Rambsel, has soundly refuted the claims that such codes are found in measure in any other literary work on the planet. Even cursory examination of the documentation available enforces the integrity and superiority of the Scriptural findings with the ELS approach.

Noteworthy is Rabbi Rambsel's accomplishments sans computer. His work has been painstakingly manual.

Though 'Shadow' touches on the ELS influences in prophecy study, the work is by no means dedicated to that aspect. The author is simply unafraid to use all means of consideration that if possible some might yet be saved from the trouble prophesied by Jesus, "For then there will be great tribulation, such as has not been since the beginning of the world until this time, no, nor ever shall be." {Matthew 24:21)

Dr. Crouch's willingness to walk spiritual point in these issues makes moreso his declaration on page 75 of 'Shadow' that the Rapture is not merely near, but any moment, a profound encouragement for all who believe and are listening for the 'Trump'.

In Jesus' own words, to those who would believe, "Come and see." {John 1:39}
