END OF THE WORLD
By Eric L. Ostrom
THE END OF THE WORLD IS NEAR!
How many times have you heard a doomsayer in church or
a conspirist co-worker say this. I met an individual once
who was convinced that he could predict the "season" in
which Christ would return. "Season", because although you
could not nail down the exact time and day... you could
figure out the year and season. This was his thinking.
This book answers these people.
This book must be read before you try to figure out
the day and the hour.

By Jonathan H Barlow
Francis Gumerlock, a classmate of mine, has done a great job of research here. He chronicles the false interpretations of end-time prophecy throughout church history. You will learn about some of the most bizarre scoundrels and heretics in church history as well as some orthodox folks who were simply reading the Bible in light of world events rather than the opposite. Reading this book is a good way to get a jolt of humility in this day and age when prophecy books about a future antichrist run rampant (The Left Behind series, for instance). This is definitely one to add to your library -- I can think of no book like it.

By Jedi Batman
You could go out and do a ton of research on all the "End is Near" statements over the centuries or you could get this book.
Well researched, filled with good information and very entertaining.
Product Description
Trying to predict the return of Christ and the end of the ages began two thousand years ago and continues to this day. Gummerlock has compiled a one-of-a-kind history of these foolhardy predictions. This fascinating chronicle of predictions will rivet the attention of any student of Bible prophecy. Regardless of your eschatological position, you must have this book.
Gumerlock looks at date-setting from the first century to the present and beyond showing the utter futility of trying to predict when the end might come.
