Summary: Another good book on Bible Prophecy
Review: It's unfortunate that many of Kirban's books are either out-of-print or hard to get. Many Christians familiar with Grant Jeffrey's or Hal Lindsey's works would find much familiar ground in Kirban's books. A born-again Arab, Kirban uses many examples from the Bible and then explains what they mean to us today. The good news is that if you want a book that really explains the possibility of how the Rapture could really occur and the events that may lead up to it, then this is it. Although not as good as Kirban's other books - I'd recommend "Guide to Survival" or "Revelation Visualized" for a starter book, "Countdown to Rapture" explains what events will happen before the rapture of the saints, and a few that will occur after.. There's a great section of charts near the center of the book - when they say "a picture is worth a thousand words" they obviously had this book in mind. Kirban tells why certain things are the prelude to the Second Coming of Christ, including air pollution, world disasters, destruction of ecology, world famines, the population explosion, increase in amusement activities (and why this is a sign of the end times!), decline in education, rise of computers, increases in crime despite increases in law enforcement, and a very good section of details of world areas and what should happen in these areas before the close of the Christian age. This is a good effort by Kirban, but it's not one of his best. Only recommended for Kirban completists.
