Preaching To The Converted
I really wanted to enjoy this book as I am interested in end times discussion. I was particularly interested in the link the author was making with new technologies to the subject. I was also hoping that the book might speak to or appeal to people who were not Christians at the point of reading this so that I could recommend something to my non Christian friends. Unfortulately, the book was poorly researched in terms of the technological developments, If I hear the phrase Nano Factories” again I’ll scream). The wording was very definitely aimed at Christians from a couple of generations ago rather than speaking a language those who may be interested in the subject would speak now. I felt the delivery in general of the concepts were very much in the way a primary school teacher might explain a construct or concept. I do think that Christians aged 30 and above who have been in church for a while would get something from this book in terms of reassurance but, I also think it would only serve to further entrench some in their world view that they are somehow poles apart from those who really need to hear and receive the Good news.

I read a few chapters and had to stop. There is so much wrong with this book. A few examples…
On page 4 the author makes the claim that, “Despite the naysayers, Jesus is coming, and our generation will witness His return.” Yeah, He’s coming, but “No one knows the day or hour, not even the Son.” Why do people continually make these predictions? Maybe Jesus will return in our lifetime, but then again it may be another 1000 years!
Then on page 9 the author states that she “would advise anyone to avoid any such dire predictions. In fact, I won’t make any predictions at all.” This is very inconsistent considering only a few pages earlier she made the prediction that Jesus will definitely be returning within our lifetimes.
Finally, a paragraph later (still on page 9) she says, “Keep in mind when I say the world will never end, I mean the earth itself will never be destroyed.” Yet Revelation 21:1 says, “Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away.”
At that point I was done with this book. This author does not seem to have a good grasp of what the Bible teaches, yet makes confident assertions about things she doesn’t understand.
I would not recommend this book.

I came across this book because of an ADHD-like series of distractions that led me to an interview with the author on the Lamb & Lion Ministries website. The book is inexpensive and I had some Amazon money so it was essentially free. It was a good investment.
One of the themes of this book – the one that hooked me – is the role of technology in end-times Bible prophecy. I am technology and Bible geek so this book was tailor-made for me. The book of Revelation describes episodes that require today’s technology in order to come to pass. Mr. Gillette also describes technological advances that are on the brink that could fuel these end time events. He spends a lot of ink speculating on the role of nanotechnology. I can’t even begin to summarize the scenarios he proposes. He admits that he draws heavily from the book Engines of Creation in coming to these speculations. (This looks like it could be a fascinating book. It is has good reviews, has contributions from Nobel laureates, is considered a landmark publication, and is available as a free ebook download. I’ve added it to my Want to Read shelf.)
In addition to describing technology as an apocalyptical tool, Gillette also steps back to discuss Bible Prophecy 101. He sets out what Armageddon is – and what it is NOT. (It’s not this!) One of his most paradigm-shifting explanations involves the Genesis story of the Tower of Babel. He calls it an overlooked prophecy and, indeed, I never really thought of it as a prophecy. Gillette sets out the pertinence of this Genesis event and its role in bringing about the Revelation scenario.
This is a provocative and fascinating book. I also appreciated that it is cheap and short. I really needed a short read after spending two months reading Gritty Spanish. If you’re interested in Bible prophecy and/or technology, this book will send your thoughts in some interesting directions.

Worth reading, but...
I am a pre-trib rapture adherent. That said, I also believe that event is imminent. The Bible says we cannot know the exact day or time, but awake Christians should recognize the 'season' of His coming for us. The author of this book presents an interesting theory, and much information that is enlightening but his suggestion that the technical age we are in will result in 'nanofactories' is questionable. Even if it becomes possible to achieve his supposition, certainly it would not be imminently possible. Despite our tech achievements to date, we are not even close to realizing what he suggests. The problem, in my opinion, with nanofactory technology ushering in the Antichrist and tribulation is this: it wouldn't happen soon enough.
All Biblical prophesies that must be fulfilled prior to the 'time of Jacob's trouble' have happened. Within the previous century. We are currently in the season of Jesus's return. Nanofactories and the level of technology described in this book do not look like possibilities in the near and or far future.
In light of the above, my advice to you would be - don't put off receiving Christ as your Savior. Time is short.

4 5 stars...
I have read all of Britt Gillette's books. I think his a great teacher of the bible and end time events. However this book was a little hard for me to get into. Unlike his other two books that I read quickly. There was alot of conjecture in regards to technology and what role it would play in future events. I skim through the parts of the book that sounded like a bad scify movie. But overall I thought it was insightful especially the last few chapters that focus on signs of the end times and how to accept Jesus Christ as your personal savior. This book is a good resource for individuals wanting to understand end time events.

A good overall review of signs of the end times
This was a pretty easy read. A good overview of signs of the end times. If you have limited scriptural knowledge this gives the big picture. I think some conclusions to his take on nanotechnology are a stretch. I don’t foresee the part about micro factories becoming a reality very soon.
The bottom line is that we all need to be ready to face the Lord at any time. Regardless of the fate of the world, today could be the last day for any of us. Don’t delay! Get ready today.

Very interesting
Very interesting using Bible passages to show the connections to the event known as Armageddon and how technology of today and tomorrow lead to that end. Very interesting to see how these Bible passages show this. Brought me to more in-depth study of the Bible.

A Must For The Prophecy Student
A very well-written and thought provoking book that answers many prophecies in light of present and future advances in technology. Good read!

Insightful
This book will open your eyes. Well written and researched, it will give the reader pause as to the technologies that are fulfilling Biblical prophesy.

Interesting read.
Very interesting and had me thinking a reviewing bible passages for additional information. I enjoyed the correlation between events and passages.

Do not hesitate...Read it!
This book is a joyous learning curve that opens your eyes to biblical truth and makes today's chaos make sense.

Gillette illustrates the pivotal role that advanced technology is likely to play in end times events. Ours is the first generation able to foresee the fulfillment of certain end-times bible prophecies outside of a supernatural fulfillment. We can see how advanced technology could bring certain prophecies closer to reality, such as total control of the world economy (Revelation 13:7), world government (Revelation 13:7), the whole world watching an event at the same time (Revelation 11:9), or the instant destruction of one-third of mankind (Revelation 9:18). Short, easy read in 14 chapters and 134 pages.
