God's Work in History

Don Stewart    In this second book we cover two major themes: First, we outline the basic story of the Bible. Second, we document 50 specific predictions that the God of the Bible has made in the past as well as their literal fulfilment. While this list of predictions, as well as their fulfillments, is not exhaustive, it certainly is sufficient to demonstrate the existence, knowledge and power of the Lord, the God of the Bible. In sum, this book will not only provide a basic understanding of biblical history, it will demonstrate that the God of the Bible exists, that He has correctly predicted the future, and that He is in control of the future.

40 Common Mistakes About Last Days Bible Prophecy Cleared Up

God Wants Us to Know the Future
Oct 29, 2022    Don Stewart    You are reading the first volume in a four-book series on the fascinating subject of Bible prophecy. While everyone would like to know what is going to occur in the future, where, if anywhere, can a person go to find the answers? This four-book series will provide convincing evidence that there is a source to which human beings can go to find these answers—the Bible. In this first book, God Wants Us to Know the Future, we will answer a number of introductory questions about the subject of Bible prophecy. We begin by paying attention to some of the specific claims in the Bible about God, His knowledge of the future, as well as His ability to correctly predict the future. We will also examine some crucial questions about “last days” Bible prophecy.
25 Signs We Are Near the End
Feb 27, 2023    Don Stewart    In this book, we are going to consider twenty-five specific signs that the Bible gives that demonstrate that we are near the “time of the end.” By this we mean the time when the Lord Jesus returns from Heaven and sets up His everlasting kingdom. For the record, we will not involve ourselves in any wild speculation that predicts the exact time the end will occur. This is not biblical, nor is it helpful. Instead, our goal is simply to lay out what the Scripture has to say about the subject, and then observe how its predictions have been literally fulfilled—setting the stage for the return of the Lord.
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.
The Rapture
Don Stewart    In this book we will take an introductory look at one of the major issues on the subject of Bible prophecy popularly known as the “rapture” of the church. The term rapture refers to the “catching away” of living believers to meet Jesus Christ. This happens at the same time as the resurrection from the dead of those who have died “in Christ.” While many Christians know certain things about this important doctrine there is still much ignorance about the subject. Indeed, too few Biblebelievers can explain what they believe about this coming event let alone correctly give details of other views. This book attempts to clear up this lack of knowledge.
The Pre-Trib Rapture Defended
Don Stewart    The doctrine of the rapture of the church can be simply stated as follows. At some future time, the genuine believers in Jesus Christ (not merely people who have a church membership or affiliation) will be caught up to meet Him in the air when He descends from heaven. Those Christians who are alive will be instantaneously changed from their mortal bodies into immortal bodies, from corruptible bodies to incorruptible bodies. Immediately before this happens, the believers who have died “in Christ” will be raised from the graves into their new bodies where they too will be with the Lord. This is the “blessed hope” of the true believers in Jesus.
The Jews, Jerusalem and the Coming Temple
Don Stewart    Why are the Jewish people miraculously back in their own land after a two-thousand-year absence? Why does the city of Jerusalem remain the focus of international attention? Why are certain Jews now planning to build another Temple on Jerusalem’s Temple Mount? Will another Temple be built? Will this coming Temple bring peace on earth as the Jews hope? Is it possible the lost Ark of the Covenant will be found and placed in this future Temple? Why is this one city, Jerusalem, and this one piece of real estate, the Temple Mount, so important to Jews, Muslims, and Christians? The Bible has much to say on these and other matters pertaining to the Jews, Jerusalem, and the coming Temple.
In Search of the Lost Ark
Don Stewart    We begin our study of the Ark of the Covenant with a look at the circumstances that led to its construction. There will also be an examination of the various theories as to the exact purpose of the Ark. This will set the stage for the remainder of the book—the past history of the Ark and the present day searches for this most sacred object.
The Final Antichrist
Mar 21, 2022    Don Stewart    There are many questions which arise regarding this figure known as “Antichrist.” Is it a force, a religious system, or an actual person who is in view? If it is a person, is he a mere human being, or is he a supernatural character, perhaps even the offspring of the devil himself! Has this person already appeared on the stage of history, or should we expect to see him in the future? What does the Bible have to say about these questions? Fortunately, the Bible gives us much detail about the origin, background, evil character, inglorious career and eventual doom of the final Antichrist, the coming Caesar. This book will look at what Scripture has to say about this personage. Our goal is to discover exactly how we should understand the biblical references to the Antichrist.
The Ezekiel 38,39 Invasion
Mar 2, 2022    Don Stewart    Many of the most often-asked questions regarding “last days” Bible prophecy concern the predicted invasion of Israel described in Ezekiel 38,39. Indeed, there are a number of issues that this passage brings up. This being the case, we have decided to write a book that deals with the major questions about this coming event.
