Summary: Excellent effort put into this book
Review: First I want to say that the reader will be pleased with the amount of research that carries into this book. Many authors in fact omit much of the research they worked hard at, but I am surprised at the amount of supportive evidense here. (A mini Bible plus). Second this book does not stick to biased religions making it more balanced for the person who just likes plain straight up reality rather than speculation. The only thing that I cannot agree with here is the time frame in question for what would be thought of as the final days. For that I strongly recommend reading a great book of science and prophecy, SB 1 or God By Karl Mark Maddox.

Summary: Signs In The Sky
Review: is a well researched and very interesting book on how ancient prophecies in the Old and New Testament are astrological signs in the sky. For example: when the ancients talk about the Son of Man they meant the constellation of Orion. Y ou just have to read the book for your self, it will keep your mind busy. This book is filled with a lot of intersting information about the pyramids, the Bible and so much more.This book will make you think.

Summary: A prelude to the great revelation
Review: Signs in the sky is a book that starts off at one compass point but gradually extends out to several different points. Using the intriquing fact that both the Mayan calendar and the ancient Egpytians predicted the end of the world or a great cataclysm would take place in the year 2012, Adrian Gilbert proceeds to tackle, the ancients' knowledge of Astronomy, Biblical prophecies - even sayings by Jesus which have survived in the Gospels extant, and premises the belief that we are in the 'End times'.The book is thought-provoking from start to finish, and really is like a detective story, especially when Gilbert recalls his time and experiences in the Holy Land. It's then the purpose and meaning of his mission unfolds itself, like a hitherto unwrapped present. This part is the most compelling, his travels and experiences around the Near East delving into the ancients' passion for Astronomy and to divine arcane knowledge. It is here he is most effective, as he convincingly proposes the solution to the mystery of the Pyramids and their direct relevance for today and in the midst of his quest, discovers formidable evidence connecting Jesus and Christianity to Egypt - something long held by 'Heretics' to be true. It will appeal to different types of lay readers, as it is quite adaptable in its tone: Astronomy lovers, New Age devotees, Apocalyptic messengers, and even aficionados of ancient religions can find something of note in it. Gilbert - describing himself as a believing Christian -, at times on his quest, is overwhelmed by startling discoveries coming at him in bolts, as legion as autumn's leaves falling from their trees. The main weapon in Gilbert's armoury, - which will appeal to the scientifically-minded and those influenced and convinced by evidence based on computers and technology -, is his uncanny resorting to a computer programme of the stars. When he enters data for the Constellation of Orion and planetary movements, the results reveal great significance presently for the Holy Land and also point to some sort of future event and rare astronomical alignment occurring. At this point, it behoves one to ask the question: could both the Mayans and the ancient Egyptians really be right? The strength and merit of the book is that its solid foundations give rise to such questions. The Signs in the Sky is a book for these times; entertaining, profound, apocalyptic, but also logical and scientific. Everything moves at a swift pace - the essence of a detective story. But most of all, the book is not depressing or pervasive with a sense of foreboding. The author has an optimistic outlook; he feels that whilst there will be great changes and upheavals in the world, ultimately the great revelation, may not be that bad but may actually herald some sort of renewal.
