From Daniel and Revelation
There are many sensational books on prophecy available these days which attempt to prove that present day events represent the fulfillment of many Bible prophecies. The problem with so many of these books is they do not “rightly divide the Word of truth.” They confuse God’s prophetic program for Israel with God’s program for His church today, a program which was a mystery kept secret in past ages, but now made manifest by the Holy Spirit through the writings of the Apostle Paul. The two prophetical books of the Bible which are most often studied are the books of Daniel and the Revelation. In Prophetic Gleanings from Daniel and Revelation the late Pastor Ike T. Sidebottom gives a clear presentation of the major prophecies of these books in light of a dispensational view of God’s Word. (61 pp.)

- The Coming World DictatorGod’s prophecies concerning the “end times” are woven around two outstanding kings.
