Summary: A true understanding of the world that is yet to come.
Review: After reading Revelations of the bible I then read Dr. Hagee's book, "The Begging Of The End". Dr. Hagee sheds light on the world and what is to come of it in the near future. It quotes scriptures from the bible and then interpts them for you, making it very easy to read and understand. Whether you are a Christian or not I strongly recommend you to read this book so that you will have strong understanding of what is to come in the near future and how to be prepared for it.

Summary: WAKE UP AMERICA!! - - A MUST READ FOR ALL
Review: An excellent source of information for believers and a true eye opener for all. With the Middle East in a constant state of turmoil, many overlook the daily headlines of war and dischord in the heart of our religious beginnings. Pastor/Author John Hagee brings these events into light, brilliantly explaining and demonstrating how the prophesies and words of God are being and lived out in this century. For those who question prophecy and the Bible, this book gives many examples of prophesies already fulfilled as well as those unflolding before our eyes as we speak. "Are we the terminal generation"? The question is asked and the evidence is shown.

Summary: Be Open, But Think For Yourself
Review: Beginning of the End is a fascinating look at where the world is heading in relationship to the fulfillment of Biblical prophecy. A vague sort of marker on the timeline of earth's predetermined destiny. He does a fairly decent job of using previously fulfilled prophecies to prove the veracity of the Bible, and then goes on to give his educated opinion of how the end times might play out. While Hagee offers much to learn and ponder, no self-respecting person, especially a Christian, should take his word to be infallible. Read the book, do your own study and research, and come to your own conclusions. As Hagee himself states in the book, most of it doesn't really even matter for Christians because we won't be here when it happens anyway.

Summary: I highly recommend this book for all Christians...
Review: For those of you that are interested in the state that the world is in today and those interested in the current events of Israel, Dr. Hagee does an incredible job of putting all of these things in perspective. You will not be able to put the book down once you start! The world is changing before our eyes, and many around us don't even have a clue. Read this book and share it with the people that you know. You will not regret it!

Summary: A look at Biblical prophecy, with a touch of speculation...
Review: John Hagee's book "Beginning of the End" attempts to provide its reader with a vivid illustration of the chronology and events of the end-times according to the prophets of the Bible. The book serves as perfect complimentary reading to other books on the subject from authors like Tim LaHaye, Hal Lindsey, and Grant Jeffery. The historical notes and Biblical commentary add real value to this book, as readers will pick up on certain ideas never mentioned in similar books. For its overall explanation of the end times, this book merits a five-star rating.

However, I rate the book four-stars because of its emphasis on the assassination of Yitzhak Rabin as a major end-time event. The author goes as far as to make the book's subtitle, "The Assassination of Yitzhak Rabin and the Coming Antichrist". And throughout the book, Hagee speculates that Rabin's assassination will cause the Israeli people to charge headfirst into a "peace at any price" movement, which he believes is a forerunner to the Tribulation and the arrival of the Antichrist.

Seven years after this book was written, Israeli and its neighbors are no closer to peace than before, and Rabin's assassination has not assured the "land for peace" doctrine a political victory in Israel. Although I can see the merit of Hagee's work, those unfamiliar with the subject of Biblical prophecy will view his speculations as further evidence that such views are those of "kooks", conspiracy theorists, and wackos. They will point out the seemingly endless history of false speculations made by the Christian community and fail to take end-times prophecy as a serious subject. Speculation should be reserved for fiction, and that's why this is a four-star book...
