Unprepared: End-times Prophecy Novel with Bible Reference Endnotes by Dale F. Shaffer

When World War III erupts without forewarning, one-fourth of the world’s population dies in a matter of hours or days, just as the Bible foretells in Revelation 6:1–8. The world’s superpowers collapse in a heartbeat.

Jeff and Lisa Taylor, in their home near Columbus, Ohio, are stunned to learn that half of the population of the United States has been destroyed. Are these the end-times prophecies unfolding that they had studied in the Old and New Testaments of the Bible?

Jesus said, “Do not suppose I have come to bring peace to the earth. I did not come to bring peace, but a sword. For I have come to turn a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law…a man’s enemies will be members of his own household.” Matthew 10:34-36.

Paul said, speaking of Jesus’ return and our gathering to Him, “Don’t let anyone deceive you in any way, for that day will not come, until the rebellion occurs and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the man doomed to destruction. He will oppose and exalt himself over everything that is called God or is worshipped, so that he sets himself up in God’s temple, proclaiming himself to be God.” 2 Thessalonians 2:3–4.
