An excellent book on end-time prophecy

This has got to be one of the best books on end time prophecies. Camping takes hundreds of pages not too preach personal ideas, but to show from the scriptures that 1994 is indeed a spiritually significant year. Those who read the whole book are likely to find themselves with a much better understanding of end-time events. The book was written a few years before 1994. In it, Camping methodically analysis scripture to determine if 1994 is a possible year of Christ's return. But, as part of the title, he very carefully puts the question mark after the "1994". He does this to emphasis the fact which he reiterates in the book - that there could be something he missed. So although he doesn't cover the "latter rain" (Revelation7:9, James5, Joel2, Duet32) - most of the information remains astonishingly accurate. From the "Great tribulation"(Matthew24, Rev7:9) to the "end of the church age" (1Peter4:17, 2Thess2, Rev13, Rev18, Daniel12) - many end-time subjects are covered. Other such books I recommend are "Adam When?" and "Mystery Babylon:The abomination of desolation?" written by Harold Camping and Dan Webster, respectively. Mr. Camping is able to teach doctrine in a way that leaves very little room for doubt or misunderstanding. His method is simple. Every single verse which relates to the subject material must be carefully analyzed. For most of us - that's an overwhelming task, but it's been Camping's job for over four decades. (He quite engineering in his late 30's to pursue a career in Bible study, which he's done to the present day - 50 years later). Most of his "critics" are those who have been unable to prove their points on the live, radio call-in program which he hosts ("the Open Forum"). When they find they can't discredit what he say's on a Biblical level, many begin to engage in character assaasination. One thing that marks Camping as different from most other teachers is that he encourages people NOT to trust him - but rather to trust the Bible alone. In other words - he's not seeking followers, he seeks truth. The fact that he shares it with many others is a true blessing. Camping's studies are almost always of unsurpassed quality and "1994?" is no exception. Mr. Camping is a genuine child of God and is well established as an excellent Bible student and teacher. I encourage each person reading this review to get a copy of "1994?".

Outstanding

While the basis of this book relates to the year 1994, the essence of the content is very much still valid for our day. One has only to look at the bible passage of Joshua Chapter 3 to realize we are indeed living at the door to the world's end and judgment day. This is a must read still, for any serious student of God's precious word.

1994? STILL accurate..

The expected return of Christ as judge is exciting and His return for unbelievers will be horrible. Read why in this book. Fact is, God through His word has given us more info since the year 1994. (This is my opinion, Mr. Camping has not said this but because of his teachings this idea does not seem too foreign) It could be that the 7th seal was opened in 1994 and for 5 years there will be a period of "silence" or perhaps the calm before the storm. The number 5 is significant in the bible (1/2 hour or .5 may equal the grace of God). It seems possible that God, in His mercy extended His grace for unbelievers for 5 years since 1994 which would bring us to Sept-Oct. 1999! Camping, a true believer has shared his insights on the comming judgement and if I were not born again I would be scared stiff. Please get the book.

GREAT BOOK !!! A MUST FOR EVERYONE WHO LOVES THE BIBLE

Do three things with this book: READ, RE-READ, and READ AGAIN.Also read the companion volume entitled, "Are You Ready?".Some may be put off by Mr. Campings suggestion of 1994 as the *possible* year of Christ's Second Coming, but believers who really love the Holy Bible will be greatly blessed by many excellent biblical studies in the book. Chief among these are the solution to the exact chronology of the creation of the World and Adam and Eve, through Noah's flood and on to the birth, ministry, crucifixion and ascension of the Lord Jesus Christ. Bible students who have been led astray by the laughably wrong chronology of Ussher will find this book more than a breath of fresh air.Mr. Camping does not pull any punches, either. He is not afraid to talk in detail about the hellfire, damnation, and wrath of God coming soon for the unsaved of the earth.

Typical Harold Camping:thorough and organized

As a listener of Harold Camping for many years, I was stunned when I first heard about this book in 1993. I went out and bought a copy. Mr Harold Camping never said that 1994? was the absolute date for Christ's return. However, he does present an interesting case for this possiblity. Obviously, he was wrong but that misses the point. He does make a successful case of how close we are and I don't think any true Christian can deny it. If you can find a copy, take a look. It's worth the read because you will learn tons about the end of time question plus Harold Camping reveals how it was possible for a biblical scholar to calculate the birth of Christ using Old Testament scriptures. He tries to extend the same method to forecast the return of Christ in 1994. It is amazing how many paths and suggestions the Bible reveals for 1994. Surely, 1994 must've been an important year.The book is typical Camping in that he does an excellent job of research and presents to the reader a clear, concise, biblical explanation.Excellent book and very much recommended for Christians and Non Christians.
