Are We Living in the Last Days?
Are you confused by all the speculations there are about the End Times?
Are you frustrated with how often the predictions fail?
Has the Left Behind interpretation left you bothered?
Do you want to have a more Biblical understanding of the End Times without the sensationalism?
Then this Last Days Online Course is For You!
There are so many Christians teaching outrageous things about Bible prophecy these days. It’s enough to frustrate the serious Bible student. How would you feel if you found out that almost all of it is misguided interpretation? What if you found out that the mindset of the ancient Jewish writers was influenced by the Old Testament imagery of the past and not a crystal-ball gaze into our modern future? What if you found out that everything that modern prophecy pundits are looking for—the Antichrist, the Beast, the Tribulation, the Rapture—was not what they told you it was, but something different?
The Truth About End Times Bible Prophecy
Respected biblical author, Brian Godawa, draws from Evangelical theological scholarship and deconstructs the popular “Left Behind” interpretation to uncover a far more fascinating and far more Biblical view of the Book of Revelation and End Times Bible prophecy.
This is not newspaper exegesis, but intense Bible study. Guaranteed to inspire your love for God’s Word and His promises to His people.
These are Powerpoint video lectures with visuals, charts, pictures, and film clips.
WARNING:
If you are not willing to consider other End Times viewpoints than your own, then this series is not for you. If you are totally convinced of an End Times scenario similar to "Left Behind," and you don't want to consider different views, then you will most likely not like this Biblical challenge to that view. I don't want you to spend your money only to be dissatisfied or feel that you've been duped in some way. Again, I warn you, this is NOT the Left Behind view. It is radically different (and I would argue, radically more Biblical).

Ezekiel 38 & 39: The Gog Magog Prophecy
By Gary DeMar

Nearly every prophecy book being published today points to the Gog and Magog alliance as evidence that we are living in the Last Days, and the world is on the eve of an inevitable destructive war and the death of billions. Ezekiel 38 & 39 are being used by today's prophecy writers as a prophetic blueprint for our time. These same prophecy writers almost never tell their readers that there is a long history of failed predictions based on these two chapters.
These 2 Bonus Videos explain the meaning of these two seemingly mysterious chapters by using the Bible instead of today's newspaper headlines!
About the Author: Gary DeMar is the President of American Vision. Gary is a graduate of Western Michigan University (1973) and earned his M.Div. at Reformed Theological Seminary in 1979. In 2007, he earned his Ph.D. in Christian Intellectual History from Whitefield Theological Seminary.
