Great book. The explanations were clear.

Our destiny really helped me understand Revelations and how it will all come to an end. It helped me understand the Tribulation, Resurrection, and Judgements God will have with his creation. Truly a wonderful book full of information not readily understood by reading the Bible on its own.

Meaty book read for our school of ministry. Definitely a solid overview of Revelation and i loved the history presented of how many of the early and Medieval church history leaders interpreted and thought of End Times as well.

Dr. Horton goes into great detail about the end times events and our destiny in them. I found his analysis thorough and engaging. He interacts with the other theories on how the end times will play out. This is a great resource to have on your bookshelf.

Made the Confusing and Complex simple.

The study of the “End Times” has always been confusing to me. This book laid out the most common positions on the differing views and how they came up with that interpretation. Then they lay out the most likely based on contextual references.

The material was interesting, but I had a difficult time reading the book. Can't quite put my finger on the reason. I think I may have been on information overload and needed more time to process the info. I had a deadline for a class. I may go back and read again one day when I'm not so pressed for time.

Very solid.

Had to read it for a class. Information overload. Not an easy read and should be considered more of a reference book.
