Armageddon Now!: The Premillenarian Response to Russia and Israel Since 1917

Had the forecasters paid more attention to Dr. Dwight Wilson's 1977 book, Armageddon Now!, they might have avoided their subsequent series of embarrassments. He warned his premillennial peers against making forecasts about the dating of Armageddon, and by implication, the dating of the Rapture. His book surveys the history of such ill-fated prophecies. From 1917 on, premillennial authors repeatedly identified the Antichrist, the Beast, 666, and numerous other "literal fulfillments" of biblical prophecy. None of these identifications proved accurate. Now Dr. Wilson offers a new Introduction that updates his original book. He gives the same warning: Christians should avoid making precise predictions about the contemporary fulfillment of Bible prophecies.
