I messed up on this one, and wound up paying full retail + tax for this book. I'm still pretty happy with the value I got for my money. I'm writing this review to possibly help others decide if they would be interested in buying the book.
One thing that I will point out is that about the first half of the first chapter contains some pro-Israel writing. That may catch a reader unfamiliar with John Hagee by surprise. Just read through it.
The Section 2 of the book is called The Spine of Prophecy. It is an effective way of preparing the reader for what comes in the final section. It covers things like does the "end of the age" refer to the rapture of the church? And, how many more signs must be fulfilled before the church can be raptured? I also enjoyed the historical material included from Josephus.
Chapter 6 is entitled Concerning the Rapture. Perhaps that was my favorite chapter. I found a couple of points that were somewhat new to me; and even somewhat encouraging. With all that's going on during the endtime, it can be easy to get confused as to where rapture fits in the timeline.
I was interested to read Hagee's thoughts on Replacement Theology.
Chapter 9 is entitled Famine, Earthquakes and Anarchy. I find Hagee tends to excel in communicating how things really are. I think many, too many, people just are not able to imagine problems on a truly massive scale.
There was a interesting note that the gospel of salvation will be preached until the church is raptured. Then the gospel of the kingdom shall be preached.
Section 3 is on the four blood moons. The last chapter was as good as I hoped it would be.
A synopsis:
Hagee shows that God uses the sun and moon as signs, giving us the biblical evidence, and connecting them to the history of Israel. He explores the importance of the Shemittah year, the relevance of 490 year events, the significance of the 9th of Av. He spends quite some time on Israel and the importance of the nation in the plans of God. He covers the importance of Passover and the Feast of Tabernacles.
Hagee reviews the previous times the four blood moons occurred on the Jewish holidays of Passover and Feast of Tabernacles. In 1493-94 and the expulsion of Jews from Spain, 1949-50 and the Jews fighting for their land, 1967-68 and the Jews reclaiming the entire city of Jerusalem. The four lunar eclipses (blood moons) of 2014-15 are:
Passover, April 15, 2014,
Feast of Tabernacles, October 8, 2014,
(Total solar eclipse March 20, 2015)
Passover, April 4, 2015,
Feast of Tabernacles, September 28, 2015.
Hagee also notes that the Shemittah year begins September 25, 2014 and ends September 13, 2015.
An evaluation:
Hagee notes, "...several Tetrads have occurred in the past five hundred years, only three have corresponded to the Jewish Feasts as well as being linked to historical events significant to Israel." (224) While I would say this means there is no guarantee this Tetrad will have any significance to Israel's history, Hagee writes, "...we can rightly conclude that the next series of Four Blood Moons of 2014 and 2015 will also hold significance for Israel and the Jewish people." (225) And, "The final Four Blood Moons are signaling that something big is coming....something that will change the world forever.
