FOOTSTEPS OF THE MESSIAH

I finished reading Arnold G. Fructenbaum's THE FOOTSTEPS OF THE MESSIAH. As with ISRAELOLOGY Fructenbaum here writes with a clearly understandable style. His theme in this book is to outline the sequence of end-time events using Revelation as the guide. Of particular interest to me were (1) His concept of Imminence, not from the Ascension, but from A.D. 70. He realizes that several prophecies had to be fulfilled, namely Jesus' prediction of the destruction of Jerusalem. (2) The idea that the 7 churches of Rev. 2-3 parallel the 7 periods of church history. The last one, Laodicea, not commencing until 1900. Both of these point out inconsistencies with Pre-tribulational thought. A.G.F. is prone to making bold statements of opinion presented as fact. The ungarded reader will be easily led by such a presentation. In spite of this it is recommended.
