Summary: exceptional overview of God's prophetic plan for the world
Review: Although part of a commentary series, this book is not just a reference source. It is designed to be read through like a regular book. In an "easy reading" style,this book provides a detailed overview of just about all of the eschatological issues in the Bible. It is from a strong dispensational viewpoint. Some of the topics are what you would expect...the book of Daniel, Zechariah, the Olivet Discourse, the nation of Israel, etc. However, I learned some new things about the prophecies of Balaam and Jacob.
This book really helped unify the various prophetic themes of the Bible in my mind. It helps you see God's unified plan for the world as it unfolds through the Word of God. After you read it,you'll still want a copy around that you can reference. Although written for the layperson, to read this book does require a decent working Bible knowledge and some familiarity with Bible prophecy. Otherwise, it might overwhelm some people.
