The Day and the Hour
A Chronicle of Christianity's Perennial Fascination with Predicting the End of the World
Description:... This book "spans two thousand years of conjecture on the last days, disclosing the dreams and delusions of those who believed that their sect was the 144,000 of Revelation 7; that the 1290 days of Daniel 12 had expired in their generation; that the "Man of Sin" of 2 Thessalonians 2 was reigning in their time; that a Rapture of the saints, a Great Tribulation or a Battle of Armageddon were just around the corner; or that a Millenial Kingdom was about to dawn." The author encourages "cautious ignorance."
