Look Up: A Timeline of 50 Last Days Events
Don Stewart • This is the fourth book in our series on the study of Bible prophecy: past, present, and future. In this fourth book, Look Up! A Timeline of 50 “Last Days” Events, we will now present a basic timeline of 50 major events that Scripture says will take place in the future. Our title is derived from a statement of Jesus in Luke 21:28. He said: When you begin to see these things take place, look up, and lift up your head, for your redemption draws nigh. Since the stage is now being set for these predictions to become a reality, it is an exciting time to examine these “last days” events.
