Summary: Priceless foundation for students of Biblical prophecy.
Comment: This is a priceless foundation for anyone interested in, or embarking upon a study of Biblical prophecy.
This book has correctly been described as being of encylopaedic proportions. Indeed, comprising of over 600 pages, it is as comprehensive a study in Biblical prophecy as there is currently available.
I was first drawn to the works of Dwight Pentecost through his excellent book entitled "Your Adversary The Devil". The manner of his approach to the latter subject and the provision of such a well written and in-depth discussion really impressed me.
Having studied Biblical prophecy for many years, I was thrilled to discover that Pentecost had also written a comprehensive study on Bible prophecy as well. Having now acquired this work, I have not been disappointed.
Other reviewers here have commendably outlined in detail the topics covered in this study so I will not go along that path. Suffice to say that the content is exemplary.
Pentecost approaches Biblical prophecy and the 'End Times' from the perspective of a 'Pre-Tribulation' Rapture of the Church. He eloquently presents his own interpretation of what many see as perhaps the controversial subject of the timing of the Rapture itself.
I have read a number of books where individual authors disagree about the latter aspect of prophecy. Taking everything into consideration, I personally feel that this 'controversial' issue should be approached and discussed prayerfully and in love, not allowing the matter to prove divisive and thus giving ground to the Adversary.
With the latter in mind, may I respectfully suggest that students of Biblical prophecy also make reference to another excellent, encyclopaedic study, (itself exceeding 500 pages) by Robert Van Kampen, entitled "The Sign". Van Kampen's study is also a thorough, in-depth study, yet approaches the Rapture with a slightly different interpretation which places it within the Tribulation itself. Anyone basing their studies on these two books will find an absolute wealth of information at their fingertips to assist them with their research.
In closing perhaps I could also suggest another extremely useful aid to study, in the book by John F. Walvoord entitled "Every Prophecy Of The Bible". Thank you.

Summary: A Pre-millennial, Pre-tribulational Eschatology Textbook
Comment: As a whole, I did not find the book difficult or too technical for the average student of the Bible. Though some of the extensive input from other sources used archaic and technical language. I found reading the entire book enriching but it could also serve as a reference book on eschatological issues. Personally I prefer the writings of Thomas Ice on this subject but I do not believe Ice has ever written a book this exhaustive. Many consider Pentecost's work the definitive textbook on the subject. Among pre-mill, pre-trib student of the Bible, this book is a classic. I highly recommend it.

Summary: Dispensational-Pretribulation-Premillennial Eschotology
Comment: This may seem like a mouthful...but it is the viewpoint that Pentecost builds from and defends. The book has seven sections.
I. Interpetation of Prophecy
II. Covenants and Eschatology
III. Prophecies of the Present Age
VI. Prophecies of the Tribulation Period
V. Prophesies Related to the Second Advent
VI. Prophecies of the Millennium
VII. Prophecies of the Eternal State
Each section is detailed and presents all sides of Biblical interpretation. Pentecost moves systematically through the prophetic text from the Covenants to Eternity.
I highly recommend it for personal study and as a reference on the study of prophecy.
