The End Times, Again?

The book examines how many Christians interpret modern political events through an apocalyptic lens, particularly in relation to the second coming of Christ as taught in the New Testament. Historian Martyn Whittock highlights the dangers of confidently linking current events to biblical prophecy, emphasizing a historical pattern of failed predictions over two millennia. He argues that these interpretations often mirror contemporary ideologies, warning that neglecting the lessons of the past can lead to repeated mistakes. Whittock advocates for a more nuanced understanding of Jesus' teachings.
