Compare and contrast these predictions with the Holy Bible. Should we put any stock in these prophecies and prepare ourselves? Will we live to see 2013?

This book was very informative and covered the perspectives of many religions and cultures and their views on how this world will end. But the book doesn't flow quite as well as I'd hoped; Mr. Hildebrand is very smart and has a lot of information to share but his presentation of the information feels a bit rough. There isn't a logical order to how the information is presented, there are no segues, etc. It is GREAT that he offers URLs for further reading at the conclusion of each chapter.
