What is the evidence that we are truly living in the last days described in the Bible? Even the disciples thought Jesus would return in their lifetime, and people for centuries have looked at this event or that event and thought the end days were upon them, so how are the world events of today different from those before? Is there something going on today that is unprecedented throughout human history? In Signs and Seasons, you'll discover an eye-opening and thought-provoking journey through the signs evident in our world today. What are the signs we should be watching for? Are the signs evidence of an event to happen immediately, or are they part of a bigger picture? Explore the signs from the past that were outlined in the Bible that have been fulfilled and what lies ahead for the human race. Discover how scientific and archeological finds actually help support the truth of scripture. Uncover what is not being told by the media and how world events relate to prophecy foretold long ago. What is the "season" that was foretold, and how do we recognize and prepare for it? Are the prophecies told centuries ago something to fear and avoid, or is there a real reason for hope in all the chaos and deception of today's world? Signs and Seasons will alter the way you view the world around us.
