An ambitious yet accessible work that embraces all of the prophecies in the Bible that deal directly or tangentially with the end times.
At the last millennial change, the entire nation of Iceland converted to Christianity. Today, even if our daily preoccupation as we approach 2000 has as much to do with computer bugs as with the end of the world as we know it, the inevitable growing public interest in prophecies of all kinds will undoubtedly focus on the rich, complex, and enigmatic prophetic writings of the Bible.
Arranged topically according to their apparent chronology, this comprehensive book provides a context in which these prophecies can be examined. It opens with the first signs of the times and climaxes with the utopian visions of a new heaven and a new earth. The author has allowed the original text to speak for itself, providing pertinent interpretation, cross-references, explanations, and transitions from one section to another that are essential to the understanding of the text.
While eschewing a didactic or an alarmist approach to the subject, Haggith reinforces the notion that the grand purpose of prophecy is "not to provide a road map to the future but to enable willing listeners to recognize the working of God in times of danger and uncertainty." What emerges is an engrossing and sometimes baffling view of the world--or at least the world that biblical chroniclers perceived through the prism of divine inspiration. Scholars and skeptics, believers and agnostics alike will come away from this book with a renewed appreciation for the human and spiritual dramas that unfold throughout the scriptures.

Amazon.com Review
In his thoughtfully-written treatise, End-Time Prophecies of the Bible, David Haggith collects and organizes all of the end-time prophecies into one useful continuum for those who are interested in divining the prophetic meaning of one of the great religious texts of human history. Allowing the reader to draw his or her own conclusions, yet providing insightful well-researched commentary, Haggith discourses on the significance of the changing millennium, soberly noting that Jesus was born, according to historians, 2004 to 2006 years ago, an error that was miscalculated into the original Gregorian calendar we now use. Quoting Jesus when he said, "I tell you before it come, that, when it is come to pass, ye may believe that I am" (John 13:19), he advances the opinion that the purpose of prophecy is not to provide a road map to the future. Rather, its purpose is to enable listeners to recognize the workings of God in times of uncertainty when witnessing a prophecy manifesting before their eyes. --Randall Cohan
From Publishers Weekly
Popular Bible teacher Haggith has done conservative evangelical Christians a service by compiling all the biblical prophecies related to the end of time in one volume. Haggith believes that prophecy texts are a mystery that can be penetrated only dimly at present, and he invites readers to interpret prophecy for themselves. One of the most important features of his interpretation is his insistence that the prophecies are "not esoteric glimmers of future knowledge. They are deliberate echoes into the future, inspired by God and breathed out by men and women." Moving quickly from one passage to the next, Haggith emphasizes the human character of the prophets and the oral, spoken quality of their original messages. He also posits that the human nature of the writers only underscores the miraculous nature of the Bible. Haggith's volume should find a ready readership among conservative evangelical readers, serious Bible students and teachers of adult Sunday school. The author's confidence that the readers of his book will themselves be engaged in biblical interpretation gives the work an encouraging and useful tone. (Sept.)

One of the by-products of millennium fever is that biblical prophecies about the "end times" are being discussed more than ever. Doing a yeoman's job, Haggith has pulled together all the Bible prophecies that deal with the end times (some directly, others only peripherally), arranged them according to topic and assumed age, and provided commentary, much of it setting the prophecies in context. Does all this make the prophecies easy to understand? Not in the least. The language is both poetic and dense, "folding in on itself," and there is always the question of what in the writings is meant to be taken literally. For that, Haggith has an answer in his clarifying introduction. He notes readers will get the most out of the book if they understand that biblical prophecies are "layered with spiritual meanings derived from genuinely anticipated events. . . . Jesus never did a miracle that wasn't a metaphor for spiritual truth, yet all of the miracles are presented as real, physical events." Expect many patrons to pick this up--how much of it they will read is another question. Ilene Cooper

Some of it good, some not-so-good, some of it way off!
By Amazon Customer
I bought this book because it was structured well and seemed to have some good historical references, not to mention a whole lot of Scripture. To be honest, I don't agree with some points of interpretation, but differing views of prophecy don't really bother me.
What really makes no sense to me is Haggith's bizarre view of the modern church. In the chapter, "Persecution," he argues with the Fundamentalist view of the church at Philadelphia being the present day church, but that he doesn't believe this because the modern church is not lacking strength as described regarding the church at Philadelphia. This is how Haggith describes why he believes the modern church has strength: "today's church has hundreds of millions of believers with billions of dollars worshiping in thousands of elaborate buildings on millions of acres of land. It has thousands of people in high places of government. It owns hundreds of radio and TV stations. It even has private satellites and private jets and private limousines.". And then Haggith asks the disturbing question, " How could today's aggregate of believers possibly be called a church of little strength?"
Strength is not found in wealth, real estate, or private possessions. The modern church is weak because of its reliance on material wealth. And then, just two pages later, states that the church at Laodicea "is stagnant because it rests comfortably on a cushion of wealth.".
So not only does he have questionable eschatology, but bad church theology and self-contradicting teachings on wealth in the church.
I really wanted this to be a good resource for prophecy studies, but it's unreliable and I certainly would caution people about reading it rather than recommend it.

Truth made available
By Robyn Kennedy
Before I checked this book out from the library, I thought I was going to have to actually enroll in a theological program to study Revelation without the overwhelming biases of today's popular Christian culture. After rechecking it 3 times over a period of 2 months, I finally broke down and decided to buy it.
It is the singular best book I have found on end-times prophecy. Haggith strikes a balance I have rarely found in any Christian book, much less one on end-times. There is enough bible history and cross-referencing to give each passage a full context without turning it in a dry, scholarly "reference" book that never gets read. Contrary to an earlier reviewer, I did find it to be a "page-turner" as Haggith managed to draw me, in an intelligent, unemotional way, into the *story* of John's vision in a way no other book ever has.
More importantly, Haggith offers the Truth in a simple, unassuming way. There is no agenda, and hardly any "eschatological" jargon. He simply presents the passages, some possible conclusions, and makes sure to throw in the constant reminder that we can never really know for sure, lest we defeat the whole point of prophecy.
A wonderful book for anyone looking for something more than the end-times "soundbites" we tend to get in church. I would recommend this to readers from all denominations, and seekers looking for an intelligent discussion of one of the most visible Christian doctrines.

Quite simply the best end-times book I�ve ever read.
By Contemplative Imaging
For those of you who are interested in the end-times prophecies of the Bible, here is a book that you need to put immediately on the top of your list. This is simply the best treatment of end-times prophecies I've ever come across, and anyone who wishes to understand these prophecies better, especially those in the books of Revelation, needs to buy and study this book.
And I do mean study. This is not one of those light little paperback affairs that spin a neat little tale of end-times events that can be read in just a couple of evenings. This book, at 546 pages, is exactly what it says it is: "a complete collection of visions and revelations of the end times from the Bible." You don't so much read this book as you enter a commitment with it. This is one of these rare gems that grows even more precious as the reader takes time to let all that is said sink in. A page-turner it is not, nor does it try to be; and as far as I'm concerned, it shouldn't be. The more time spent reading and contemplating everything that is said in this book, the better understanding one will come away with of end-times events.
I love reading books that attempt to explain end-times prophecy. Unfortunately, a majority of the books are woefully inadequate. Most are just pure garbage. The authors of many of these books are not so much attempting to commentate on the many aspects of end-times prophecy as they are attempting to sell you on their own personal interpretations and theology. And if they can throw in a few scripture passages in to support their position, all the better.
Here we have the inverse of that strategy. Rather than giving us his personal interpretation of end-times events, Mr. Haggith takes those scriptures speaking of end times events and lets them speak for themselves. He then brings them into focus by showing how some may have been fulfilled through events in the past, and those that can't be explained in this way, he tells us in a straight forward fashion why we must wait for future fulfillment. All the while he does not insist on his explanations or illuminations, they are simply put out for the readers own benefit. This is the polar opposite of what so many so-called end-times "experts" attempt with there own works.
I greatly enjoyed the commentary like way in which the book is written. Mr. Haggith takes us from Revelation 1:1 to the very end of Revelation, verse by verse, in a very patient, deliberate fashion. Where appropriate, he calls upon other similar verses speaking about the topic at hand, and quotes them in their entirety. To give you a quick example of just how through he is; Mr. Haggith cites no less eight other passages from the Old and New Testaments to help in his explanation of the significance of Revelation 14:1-5; where John the Apostle writes about the 144,000 who were redeemed from the earth. (For those of you who are wondering what passages he cites, they are Psalm 49:7-15, Hosea 13:14, Luke 20:34-36; 1 Cor. 15:35-44, 49-55; Luke 24:13, 1 Cor. 15:20-24; Phillipians3:10,11,20,21; and 1 Thessalonians 4:13-17.) Mr. Haggith definitely believes in the principal that the best way to illuminate troubling passages in the bible is through cross-referencing other similar passages. This rather conservative method works surprisingly well to give the reader a better understanding of all that is being said.
That which I enjoyed most about this book is the fact that Mr. Haggith has no agenda to sell us other than a more thorough understanding of the Word of God. So many books start from a position of being pre-tribulation, mid-tribulation, post-tribulation or pre-wrath, then go from there. In his book, Mr. Haggith simply lays out the end-times scriptures in a way where the reader can come to his own conclusion, rather than being force fed a particular theological spin. However, do be warned that not all of the fore mentioned theories hold up well when the light of Word of God is shined upon them, and don't be surprised if your particular theological bent comes off looking rather silly.
There are two groups of people who would benefit tremendously from this book. The first group are those who don't really have any allegiance to any of the particular schools of end-times theology, but want a better understanding of end-times events. The second group are those who have bought the latest tale of end-times theology being sold in the marketplace, and are convinced that it is the only interpretation that makes sense. Those in the second group need to take their store bought theology to the all consuming alter that is the Word of God, and see if it can withstand the flames of Truth. Please don't be surprised if it doesn't.
The timing of this book is impeccable. More so than ever, the church needs to hear what God is saying concerning the events of the last days. Here we have an author who is willing to put aside all the pet theories concerning end-times teaching and go straight to the word of God for the answers. Those of you who think it more important to find out what God has to say about His return rather than what end-times experts have to say will be greatly blessed by this book.
Now go buy yourself a copy. You won't regret it.
