The Last Days Identified!
Are we in the last days before the "end of time" All futurist views of eschatology say that Christ comes at the end of the current Christian age. However, the Bible is clear that the Christian age has no end! Furthermore, the Bible - in spite of the popular views of the end - identifies "the last days" not as the end of time, not as the end of the Christian age, but, as the last generation of the Old Covenant Age of Israel. That age came to its cataclysmic end in AD 70! This book has changed the lives of countless believers, dispelling the fear that the end is near. A "must read" for sure!

I can’t argue with a thing said!
This is biblical exegesis at its best. Very clear scriptural analysis and logic. My hesitancy is that I’m not sure what these truths say about the Second Coming. That must be in another book. Meanwhile, this book teaches the truth, I believe.
I have been warned about this author, but I cannot find scriptural flaws in the teaching of this book. Recommended.

One of the best books on the "Last Days" that I have ever read. It is not a large volume, yet cuts through all kinds of Scriptures, tieing the OT and NT together perfectly to make the case.

tradition vs Scripture
Surprising how much speculation has been poured into scripture in regards to eschatology. I like most have spent years swallowing views that when you removed the spins and twists of popular teachers and leaders find yourself shocked at the crazy things you once believed. But more importantly your faith strengthened by accepting what the scripture is actually teaching. Don’s book helps remove the chaotic spin of men and leave you with a clear view of what the scripture is saying.

Great Book
What a great book! When you get to Dr. Preston’s explanation of 1Sam. 8:7 and what follows, you are in for a blessing. I am not saying that you won’t enjoy the first part of the book, but Dr. Preston’s exegesis on 1Sam.8:7 and related text is great.
Yours in Christ,
Alex

September 18, 2020There is definitely no other book so clear, precise, logical and coherent about the identity of the last days. It is solidly based on Scripture correctly interpreted following the grammatical-historical method, taking into account the background of the Old Covenant and the principle of the relevance of the audience. Excellent literary work by Don K. Preston. I recommend it.

Full Preterism. Is it the truth?
The book is very good and makes sense. My question is, if we are living in the church age with all prophecy fulfilled and the church age is forever, what is next, and what happens when we die?
