Some Bible verses that you will find helpful for doing this, and that you may want to commit to memory are found on other pages on our web site (see: Memory Verses; 2nd Set: Salvation!, Plan of Salvation, and Statement of Faith). ______________ Have you received Christ as your Lord and Saviour?

Author: Hank Hanegraaff Hank Hanegraaff Reveals the Code to Revelation Breaking the Code of the book of Revelation has become an international obsession. The result, according to Hank Hanegraaff, has been rampant mis-reading of Scripture, bad theology, even bad politics and foreign policy. Hanegraaff argues that the key to understanding the last book of the bible is the other sixty-five books of the Bible---not current events or recent history, and certainly not any complicated charts. The Apocalypse Code offers sane answers to some very controversial questions:
The Apocalypse Code is a call to understand what the Bible really says about the End Times, and why how we understand it matters so much in today's world. ____________________________ "Provocative and passionate, this fascinating book is a must-read for everyone who's interested in end-times controversies." -Lee Strobel, Author, The Case for Christ "This book is a withering and unrelenting critique of the positions of apocalyptic enthusiasts such as Tim LaHaye. Every fan of the Left Behind series should read this book. The fog will clear and common sense will return to our reading of the Bible." -Gary M. Burge, Professor of New Testament, Wheaton College & Graduate School ____________________________ Our Comments: This book may well turn out to be the most influential and/or controversial Christian book of the decade. We recommend this book to all Christians, especially for its clear presentation and explanation of many of the basic methods of Biblical interpretation (Hermeneutics). It is more than worth reading, owning, and studying just for this. One feels upon reading this book that it may well define a major "turning point" in the history of Evangelicalism (at least concerning Eschatological interpretation). It may also cause a veritable "firestorm" of controversy and negative reaction. The book presents an explanation of Eschatology (the study of the End Times) that many Christians may never have seen clearly presented before, or even presented at all, and therefore may not even be familiar with. As a ministry we do not take an official stand on the different views of eschatology and the various ____________________________ |
interpretations held by differing Christian believers. Except for those beliefs which are stated in our Statement of Faith:
We do oppose the view of Liberal Theology that man will get better and better and bring about a "Millenium" of 1,000 years of peace by his own efforts---but this view is only held by "non-believers"; those Liberal Theologians who have rejected most, if not all, of the basic historic Christian Biblical doctrines. Unhappy With the Introduction Looking to read about a view of interpreting Revelation, we were very surprised (actually, shocked) at the Introduction, which seems to present the viewpoint often heard in the United Nations that the idea of even having a Jewish State is "racist". This is rhetoric heard almost daily in the U.N. from repressive dictatorships with abysmal human rights records. Are organizations dedicated to support particular racial groups such as the NAACP then also "racist"? Is the U.S. Congressional Black Caucus "racist'" because it only admits Black members? As Hank Hanegraaff himself points out later in the book, the existence of a Jewish State (Israel) can be supported by Christians for reasons having nothing to do with eschatology. One reason would be based on God's love and compassion for all peoples of the world (John 3:16). A homeland for the Jewish people was created in 1948 as a response for present and future protection due to the occurrence of the Holocaust during WWII:"never again". This viewpoint has nothing whatsoever to do with eschatology. _______________________________ The Apocalypse Code is available to Supporters of The Prayer Foundation ™.
