I find most of the content in Horn's books to be verifiable and I don't question his content; however, I think it is needless for him to create an air of sensationalism or fear or impending doom by giving deadline dates. Could he be right, of course, but he could also be wrong, which gives the impression of no credibility. However, his content, much of which I've verified through his and other sources, is impeccable. If anyone comes across any misleading information, please share with me. To date, I've not come across any. I think Bible verse support/interpretation is relevant as well. Would love to hear arguments, if any.

I have read other books by Thomas Horn and have listened to many of his interviews.

His work is well researched but written in an almost pedantic style, with some sentences 10 lines long. I don't mind long sentences but not when there is more than one idea in a sentence and it can easily be broken up into 2 sentences. The excessive use of compound complex sentences with multiple prepositional phrases as modifiers and with unclear antecedents for pronouns causes confusion and definitely slows down the reader.

I gave this book a rating of 3 because it had only one chapter to answer the question of 2016 and prophesied events. It sadly did not answer its question very well: Did Something Begin in the Year 2012 That Will Reach Its Apex in 2016?

It simply lists many prophecies from sources as diverse (and possibly inaccurate) as ancient pagan religions, the Catholic Church, fundamentalist Christians, Masons, Mormons and others.

If you are a fundamentalist Christian, you would probably not have much confidence in prophecies from most of the above sources. If you are anxiously watching the catastrophic and mind-boggling world changes right now in climate, geography, societal values, genetics, robotics, artificial intelligence and nanotechnology, then you might consider the unlikely probability that all of these unrelated sources would predict serious events occurring in 2012 with an apex in 2016.

However, these prophecies do not really help because there are only guesses about what could happen in 2016.

This book was published in 2013, after Dec 21/12 when predictions of disaster at the end of the Mayan calendar did not seem to come to pass.

For the record, I said that the end of the Mayan calendar simply indicated a return of the solar system to a position of 26,000 years ago where all the planets were aligned and the "counting" would start again. It would not necessarily indicate disaster or the end of the world. It is the same with us as we mark the end of the year by starting again at January 1 the next year. We do not panic because we have run out of days on our calendar. We simply start counting again from Day 1.

I feel that Tom Horn's predictions that 2016 could be the mid-Tribulation with the return of Christ in 2019 are not going to happen, simply because I do not believe that we entered the Tribulation in 2012 or 2013. I also believe that the rapture cannot occur until the gospel is preached to the entire world and I do not think this is a goal that can be reached in the next 6 years. There are still unreached people groups in the world. And there are actually... believe it or not... American citizens who have never seen a Bible, gone into a church, or seen the power of God demonstrated. However, I could be wrong about 2012/2016/2019.

I do believe that very significant events concerning Israel, in particular an expansion of her territory after being attacked in a significant war, will occur during the lunar eclipse tetrad and the solar eclipses of 2014 and 2015. Other authors describe the relationship of tetrads and Israel land expansion much more thoroughly than Tom Horn.

I do not pretend to be an expert in these areas. But I am cautious especially in areas of prophecy. These four blood moons were supposed to occur on Biblical feast days. As a result, some Christian authors felt that there should be significant events occurring in Israel during this tetrad. The projected war with subsequent land expansion did not occur during these four lunar eclipses.

However, I did read from a rabbi that the Jewish calendar was changed by one day during this time because there was a significant cloud cover that prevented them from seeing the sliver of the new moon over Jerusalem that was used to date the start of the new month from which the feast days were determined. He was discussing the Jewish calendar but not any tetrads. I am simply putting this information together and thinking that probably in God's eyes, this was not actually a tetrad of lunar eclipses falling on feast days. According to this information, at least one lunar eclipse did not occur on a feast day.

There are at least 2 different Jewish calendars, one which actually follows the instructions given by God and one which is more astronomical and does not look for the actual physical observation of the new moon over Jerusalem. God already knew in advance about this cloud cover and the inability to view the new moon when it was expected. By the next month, without a cloud cover, the calendar would be back on track again because the new moon would be able to be observed at the exact time that it was "waxing". This is an interesting possibility.

This might not be significant to most people, but Feast Days are appointed times when God meets with His people. So to Jewish and Messianic Jewish congregations, the exact day of this festival is important. And if it is dated by the physical observation of the new moon rather than by counting days, then people following the wrong method would miss that appointed time with God. I think there is a danger when Christians pick up a theme that seems logical and correct but do not have enough background to make correct interpretations about it. This is one example. However, as I said, I do not have a lot of background in prophecy and am just learning. I am a fundamental Christian with no Jewish roots and no experience with Messianic Jewish congregations. I am merely introducing this information to show that maybe we do not know enough about some of these topics to make an informed conclusion.)

However, I was disappointed in this book because so much of it was a repetition of previous books. I felt that I spent most of my time rereading information.

Tom Horn's books wake people up to the dangers of:
1) transhumanism and super soldiers,
2) a genetic retrovirus that would change people's DNA (the Mark of the Beast) and make it impossible for them to spend eternity with God because they would no longer have human DNA,
3) the occult foundation of the US government and buildings,
4) the control of the US government by hidden powers,
5) the role of the Vatican in the final one-world government and even
6) the future disclosure of UFO's and aliens by major countries.

His research is accurate and thorough; his insights are powerful. A person who does not know much of the information in his books is going to be easily deceived by the AntiChrist. He has one of the best descriptions I have ever read of the methods by which the AntiChrist will appeal to the masses and deceive even Christians, who will have absolutely no idea that this man who promises solutions to save the world is actually the Anti-Christ. I often wondered how this could happen as the Bible warns us that there would be an end-time deception that, if it were possible, would deceive even the elect. As I read his description, I could see it happening even in fundamentalist Christian churches in the US.

This review is not meant to be frightening. Unusual things are happening in the world. As Christians, when we see these things happening, we are actually told to look up and rejoice because we will soon be out of here. We are to live every day as if it is our last but plan every day as if we will have decades more. We are to occupy until Jesus comes. But we need to be educated so that these things do not take us by surprise and we are able to make wise decisions.

Tom Horn gives this kind of confidence. His books are not sensational or fear-mongering or negative. But he deals with threats to the world of which most people are ignorant. As a result, he goes to great lengths to give detailed research with endless footnotes, consulting more than just Christian sources. If you don't know about these issues that will certainly impact your life (whether or not Jesus returns in the next few years), you will benefit by reading his earlier books more than by reading this one.

Fascinating and troubling research…I found a reading list of probably another 50 books cited that I really want to dig into now. It's hard to fathom how dark our nation's history truly is. If you are interested in Freemasonry and their "new world order" agenda, this book will shine more light on these subjects than you can find in any other publication.

Great addition and revision to Apollyon Rising 2012. Typical Tom Horn style writing of firing data points at the reader in machine gun fashion.

Just read slow to guarantee maximum absorption and retention.

This blows your mind in a cryptic and familiar hint of what we knew and forgot but better remember quick!

I chose this rating because this is the first book to put all the hints together and show how it all fits. And it really makes sense. It's what you know but your over rational mind blurs it out to preserve your ignorance. Because as Satin says, Ignorance is bliss. (For a time)

ZENITH 2015 by Thomas Horn amazed me. The information found in this Christian non-fiction book was not only interesting, it was eye opening, detailing what might soon happen in the world. Now, I want to read it all over again.
I give it five stars.

AN UPDATING THAT IS JUST ANOTHER BOOK OF FAILED ‘PROPHETIC PREDICTIONS’

Author and TV/radio personality Thomas R. Horn, serves as the Chief Executive Officer of SkyWatchTV.

He wrote in his Introduction to this 2013 book, “As outlined in this book, the startling truths behind the clandestine society that helped frame the United States and placed within the Great Seal a prophetic secret doctrine can finally be understood. What even the best researchers of the Illuminati and veiled fraternities such as the Freemasons were never able to fully decipher is spelled out herein for the first time. The power at work behind global affairs and why current planetary powers are hurriedly aligning for a ‘new order from chaos’ is exposed. Perhaps most incredibly, readers will learn how ancient prophets actually foresaw and forewarned of this time… What has been hidden in plain sight for more than two hundred years is preparing to reveal itself to humanity… The occult desire of the ages is here. And once you understand the secret, you will know what you have to do to survive.” (Pg. 26-27)

He states, “In addition to occultists, groups including the Temple Mount Faithful and the Temple Institute in Jerusalem are busy restoring and constructing the sacred vessels and vestments that will be used for service in the new temple at the arrival of their ‘Messiah’… Students of prophecy recognize the importance of such plans as signaling the coming of Antichrist… A major obstacle that arises when discussing the building of the temple in Jerusalem is the present-day existence of the Islamic shrines known as the Dome of the Rock and the Al-Aqsa Mosque on the Temple Mount… A fault line near Jerusalem … may be strategically located to utterly destroy the Islamic shrines… Such a catastrophic event could … provide a catalyst for rebuilding Solomon’s temple… It is also entirely possible that an event such as an earthquake would not be required to bring about… a new temple… The Middle East is a powder keg, and war, with its missiles and bombs, could take out the Islamic shrines in a single hour…” (Pg. 54-56)

He asserts, “Regardless of how fantastic it seems… the events happening on and following 9/11 affirm… ‘an undeniable occult signature linked to 9/11.’ Some have pointed out how the number 11… turns up repeatedly as a ‘marker’ tied to 9/11. The phone number called during the emergency (9-1-1) … matches the date on which the Twin Towers were attacked… Is it therefore mere coincidence that exactly ELEVEN years to the date following George H. W. Bush’s ‘New World Order’ speech (and ELEVEN years before 2012)… Flight 11 crashed into the Twin Towers… and Flight 11 had ELEVEN crew members… other important dates, equally marked by the number eleven, also changed the course of history. For instance, the end of World War I in 1918 occurred on the eleventh day of the eleventh month at exactly the eleventh hour… One of the more fascinating correlations between the number eleven … [and] 9/11 is the arcane symbolism based on the eleventh labor of Hercules, also important to Kabbalah and Masonic rituals.” (Pg. 65-67)

He comments, “Behind … view of the world’s uninitiated members, the alchemy and rituals of the occult masters---Illuminists, Masons, Bonesmen, Bilderbergers, and Bohemians---have combined to harmonize so completely within recent US foreign and domestic policies as to clearly point to … a near-future horizon upon which a leader of indescribable brutality will appear.” (Pg. 81)

He contends, “So many including this author were absolutely astonished that Barack Hussein Obama was reelected in 2012 instead of being assigned to the dust bin of a failed one-term presidency. Given his beyond-dismal record of government (the worst in American history) and the horrific state of the economy under his leadership (also the worst in history), most businessmen and political conservative were convinced that even an orangutan would trump his chance … in 2012. Not only were we wrong but we soon rediscovered that the longing among those who wish to receive him as God remains strong.” (Pg. 93) He adds, “I myself have taken the position that Obama is AN antichrist but probably not THE final one…” (Pg. 95)

He suggests, “the designers of Washington Government Center … wanted to obscure the meaning behind the occultic layout of America’s Capitol… According to the symbolism … the secret destiny of America includes a future national and global subservience to the god of Freemasony… Given the ambivalence of the term ‘God’ … the slogan ‘IN GOD WE TRUST’ … was accommodated by Masons and other illuminatus and so approved as the official US motto.” (Pg. 119-120)

He observes, “To say some of the sanctified speculations in this book and companion works… have been confirmed is an understatement. Pope Benedict XVI’s [resignation]…as forecast a year in advance in ‘Petrus Romanus’… was unprecedented… Indeed… many former skeptics picked up our book in earnest.” (Pg. 145)

He says that when Gen 6:4 “is compared with other ancient texts… it unfolds to some that the giants of the Old Testament, such as Goliath, were the part-human, part-animal, part-angelic offspring of a supernatural interruption into the divine order and natural evolution of the species.” (Pg. 194) Later, he adds, “the subsequent revival of Watcher technology leading to transhuman or revived forms of Nephilim, has without doubt pushed the end-times clock closer to midnight than most comprehend.” (Pg. 244)

He predicts, “we are more likely to be reduced to the status of domestic animals in the minds of artificial intelligence, as Technological Singularity … gives birth overnight to some version of the artilects, who suddenly come online as conscious, living superminds, immensely more powerful than human beings.” (Pg. 215)

He notes, “Spiritually, the enemy has ever sought to corrupt God’s plan… Our genome is filled with ‘junk DNA’ that seemingly encodes for nothing… God Himself may have switched them off… today’s scientists might need only to ‘switch them back on’ to resurrect old forms such as … Nephilim… In the final days of the current age, humanity may indeed ‘flip.’… are genetic sleeper agents… already at work in humanity’s DNA, waiting and ready to deploy at the appropriate moment?... We shall ALL be changed. Some to incorruptible bodies … Others to corrupted genomes ready to serve the beast.” (Pg. 283-284)

He speculates, “the year 2012, being three and one-half years before the Masonic ending date 2016, could thus be viewed as the beginning of the Tribulation period.. based on Daniel 9 and related texts, scholars believe a period of not more than seventy years (a biblical generation) will elapse between the reformation of Israel as a nation and the return of Jesus Christ. When seventy years are added to 1948… it brings us through the year 2018. Does this mean the year 2019---exactly seven years after 2019---would mark the year that Jesus Christ returns … to establish His rule[?]” (Pg. 310-311)

Of the Obelisk in St. Peter’s Square in the Vatican City, notes, “many traditional Catholics … perceived such idols of stone to be … the worship of demons… in Washington DC, near the west end of the National Mall, the Obelisk built by Freemasons… brings the fullest meaning to the Nephilim-originated and modern porn-industry impression that ‘size matters.’ … such phallic symbols … still are found in cultures around the world…” (Pg. 333, 337)

He also hints of LDS/Mormon belief, “Mormons may also become gods… I had not realized … the extent to which some Mormons---including those devoted to Mitt Romney---saw their place in the deity-building scheme unfolding within American politics… Whether it be Mitt Romney or another LDS member, the chances of a Mormon American president in 2016 is stronger than many think… What makes this prophetically interesting… is how perfectly fitting Mormon theology balances with scriptural revelation concerning the arrival of the Antichrist…” (Pg. 412-413) Later, he adds, “could a man like Romney… be uniquely qualified to realize the outrageous goal of incarnation into flesh of … the Devil?” (Pg. 423)

Horn is currently focusing on 2025-2029; but those inclined to follow his ideas should look up his earlier, now unreliable, books.

Another excellent book by the great Mr. Thomas Horn! I have learned so much from him. He sees things in the Bible that I would never have seen and makes me wish I could’ve met him to pick his brain. What a faithful, Godly man!

A very interesting book with a lot of intense details about what the author believes is the founding of our country and the true motives behind it. I appreciate the author’s depth and quality of research. There were some dry moments in the book where I felt the author did too much in trying to explain things which made it a bit dull and tedious to read at times. However, I did get a lot out of it. Whether you believe in this stuff or not, it’s still interesting to read about. I appreciate Thomas Horn’s research and insights and may check out his other books.

Great book. Much of the information in this book takes on the appearance of well manicured notes, but I appreciate the fact that the author took the time to assemble the information so another researcher can come along and piece together even more of the puzzle. I used one such piece of 'information' in my new book 'Back Upright.' So thanks Tom! Keep up the research, critical thinking, and polished writing!
