A fascinating book, as it is a relevant description of this period of history we are presently witnessing unfolding before our very eyes. Easy to read and very well organized into eight chapters simplistically explaining the perilous times we are presently living in. The format is written in a dialogue format with questions and answers throughout each chapter. One can jump to any chapter and read the questions that intrigue and pique your interest and get a grounded biblical answer with supporting scriptures. While I was reading, I could hear the nuances and intonation of both Amir and Barry, as I listen to Amir on a weekly basis. I ended up purchasing a few copies to share with friends and family.

This 180-page book is full of helpful and interesting information. One of my favorite prophecy experts Amir Tsarfadi and his co-writer Barry Stagner each offer what they believe about many questions that people might ask. The book is set up as primarily a Q&A covering eight chapters of topics. There is an introduction for each chapter and then numerous questions are answered by both men. The topics include, "Israel," "The Church," "The Rapture," "The Tribulation," "The Millennium," "The Great White Throne Judgment," and "Heaven." The answers are completely Biblical and answered in simple to understand language. The book was published in 2022, so it's not completely up-to-date in this rapidly changing end times world in which we live, but the prophecies and explanations they share are timeless and very helpful. If you are not familiar with prophecy (and even if you know a fair amount about prophecy), this is a wonderful way to learn answers that are important and timely. I highly recommend it.

This book Title tells You What it Is
I have been following these authors for many years. Most of what is written has been talked about by them already. It's handy to have it all in one book. I'm sure there are more questions, but this is a good starting place especially for those who haven't had much background in the Scriptures.
I hope it will Encourage everyone to dig in and study God's living and active word which is sharper than a two edged sword.

Very helpful indeed
A lot of my questions about the end times and what will probably happen during the tribulation has been answered. I'm full of anticipation to see the prophecy unfolding.

star rating 4.5
The book guides readers through key prophetic passages in the Bible, including those in the Old Testament books of Daniel and Ezekiel, as well as the New Testament, especially the Book of Revelation. Tsarfati and Stagner focus on making these often complex and symbolic scriptures easy to understand, breaking them down into simple insights.
A big theme of the book is the current relevance of Bible prophecy. The authors stress the importance of understanding prophecy in the context of today's world events, showing how current world events may match up with Bible predictions. They encourage readers to stay alert and spiritually ready for the second coming of Christ.
Strengths:
- Clarity and Accessibility: The authors succeed in simplifying complex theological concepts without losing their meaning, making the book suitable for both seasoned Bible students and those new to prophecy.
- Engaging Style: Tsarfati’s engaging writing style, along with Stagner’s intellectual approach, ensures that the book is both informative and
interesting
- Relevance: The connection of ancient prophecies with modern events is thought-provoking, urging me to reflect on my life and faith.
Critique:
- Interpretation: As with any work on Bible prophecy, the interpretations presented are open to debate.
- Scope: While the book covers a wide range of topics, the brevity of each section might leave readers wanting more in-depth analysis on certain points.
Conclusion:
"Bible Prophecy: The Essentials: What We Need to Know About the Last Days" is a valuable resource for anyone interested in understanding biblical prophecies about the end times. Tsarfati and Stagner provide a well-rounded introduction that is both accessible and thought-provoking, making it a worthwhile read for Christians seeking to deepen their understanding of eschatological teachings.

This book goes into detail about the END DAYS. Whether you are a Christian or not I beseech you to get this book so that you will understand what is going on right now and will happen in the not so distant future. We all have a choice for our eternity. Spend it in heaven with the Lord or spend it hell with satan.
Salvation is a free gift from God please do not squander your choice, time is running out.

Overall decent book. It definitely touches on a bunch of different biblical prophecies which makes the book extremely informational. The book was written by two guys basically explaining prophecy in and of itself, but also explaining their understanding of their own interpretation of it. I’m not sure entirely how I end up feeling about some of the info because at times there may be subjective takes to things that aren’t fully concrete and are up for interpretation.
So… All in all, very informational book, but also there are what I believe to be subjective takes that end up being things that I/you need to consider first before accepting as the’Truth’

These two are amazing prophecy teachers/ preachers! Love how they take "some" of our questions and give good, solid, Biblical answers!

Bible Prophecy: The Essentials
Two amazing men of God which teach God's word with clear and precise clarification using the scriptures to backup their teachings. I enjoy their ministry and all they do to help us get the full picture of what's to come. Looking forward to reading all the books written by Both these authors. May God continue to bless all they put their hands on and all the Lord has for them. Thank you

I loved this book! It’s incredibly informative and thoroughly backed by scripture, which I deeply appreciate. The question-and-answer format is fantastic—it addressed questions I’ve personally had and others my friends have asked me in the past. The content is well-thought-out and organized, making it both engaging and easy to follow. Highly recommend it to anyone seeking scriptural clarity on Bible prophecy.

I have typically ignored this topic, but recently heard Amir speak in Calgary. I found the book an interesting, although choppy, proposition that the 'church' will disappear before things get really terrible on Earth. There are as many opinions on the matter as there are books on the topic, yet I liked his heavy reliance on Scripture. I'm still not completely on board with his POV, but I would recommend his book to those interesed in 'End Times' reading. Gripping.

Biblically Sound.
A pastor in California and an evangelist in Galilea answer several questions relating to "end time" events. A Gentile pastor serving the Lord in a spiritually and morally bankrupt State and an Israelly evangelist living in the restored Jewish Homeland discuss prophetic passages in the Holy Scriptures anylizing them in real time. Blessings.

A must read.
What a dynamic book of what we as born again Christians can expect and how the Rapture is fast approaching. Being born again means that we will enjoy a future with our Lord and Savior. Now is the time to make sure you are ready to meet our Maker
I highly recommend it and you won't be disappointed.

The authors did a great job of answering common questions about the end times. They kept it simple and easy to understand.
Each author takes a turn answering each question. The questions are organized into six chapters with headings that show the general area the questions on that chapter will be about.

Questions?
This book has answers to questions about these last days! It's well put with scriptures that references the difficulties ahead and salvation is now. Today is the day to believe in Jesus before the tribulation!

What an eye opener
I recommend this as a Goodread for any and all. I recommend doing as I did and used my reading of the Bible for additional reference.
I especially recommend that the nonbelievers will take the opportunity to read with an open mind.

The 👌 Best
The way the book was narrated on prophecy with an added personal statement or two ties it in perfectly the reading was awesome.

This book was very good. Lots of interesting responses to questions which Amir and Barry answer, individually, on various questions related to prophesy and the Bible and God.

There is nothing new in this book that hasn't been covered by other accessible theologians. The content is good but seems like nothing more than a cash-grab for the authors' audiences.
