[Charles Carter · Rating 3 out of 5]

This was, I think, the book that had an awesome string of prophetic pearls related to the end of Genesis. As Jacob lays on his death bed, circa Genesis 49, he presents a blessing to his family, the 12 sons who would represent the 12 tribes of Israel (yes, with nuance, due to Joseph). Those blessings are also prophecies, and this book was super eye-opening in making that not just become clear, but even come to life for me. For that reason alone I would urge getting this book! (There may be other reasons too, but that's what marked me when I read it as a young teen.)

Wow! Such a wonderful study of every fulfilled and yet-to-be fulfilled prophecy in God's Word. Extremely faith-building and encouraging that every single thing God says comes to pass and will come to pass!
