Book Description
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? These matters have been debated throughout the centuries. Indeed, there is tremendous curiosity and fascination among believers and non-believers alike on this subject of Antichrist. Fortunately, the Bible gives us much detail about the origin, background, evil character, inglorious career and eventual doom of the coming 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. Our Focus Is Upon Jesus The ultimate goal, however, is not to focus on Antichrist, but rather upon Jesus Christ. Antichrist will appear for only a short time while our relationship with Jesus Christ will last forever. Consequently, we should always have this eternal perspective as we study this subject. With this in mind, let us now look at what the Bible has to say about "The Final Antichrist: The Coming Caesar."

Book Description
A key factor in comprehending the prophetic landscape of the end times is to recognize the specific, prominent nations that will be involved. In the Scriptures, these nations are depicted in allegorical form, and for literally thousands of years, students of the word of God have labored to discern the identity and meaning of the four beasts (Daniel 7), the elements of Nebuchadnezzar’s image (Daniel 2), and the seven heads of the Dragon (Revelation 17). Many speculations and interpretations continue to be made, yet to this day, there is still a great amount of uncertainty regarding these prophecies. The Time of the End I provided the Scriptural foundation for a 10 ½ year timeline of the last days, and like the border pieces of a puzzle, this new perspective has provided new insight into the broader picture of prophecy. The Time of the End II sheds light upon and unlocks the concealed identifications of the Lion, the Bear, and the Leopard (Daniel 7), the feet and toes of Nebuchadnezzar’s image (Daniel 2), the seven heads of the Dragon, and how those nations relate to the four horns (Zechariah 1), the four carpenters (Zechariah 1), the four horsemen of the Apocalypse (Revelation 6), and the movements throughout history of Mystery Babylon (Revelation 17). Like its predecessor, The Time of the End II confidently rearranges some of the more popular and accepted ‘puzzle pieces’ of prophecy, and emerges with a notably different picture, one that is far more consistent with a literal interpretation of the Scriptures.

Book Description
The following demonstration is rested on no narrow basis. Its two postulates, like two posterns, admit us into the edifice, but they are not its foundations. The whole economy of Redemption, and the whole course of History are the broad substructions on which the argument is based and built up; and the author humbly submits that it cannot be overturned, or the conclusion arrived at set aside, without dislocating and shaking the structure of both Revelation and providence. The same line of proof which establishes that Christ is the promised Messiah, conversely applied, establishes that the Roman system is the predicted Apostacy. In the life of Christ we behold the converse of what the Antichrist must be; and in the prophecy of the Antichrist we are shown the converse of what Christ must be, and was. And when we place the Papacy between the two, and compare it with each, we find, on the one hand, that it is the perfect converse of Christ as seen in His life; and, on the other, that it is the perfect image of the Antichrist, as shown in the prophecy if him. We conclude, therefore, that if Jesus of Nazareth be the Christ, the Roman Papacy is the Antichrist.

Book Description
In this series of messages we want to study the prophecy of the four 'sevens' in the Bible. If we are going to know the prophecy concerning the consummation of this present age, we need to know the truth concerning these four 'sevens.' In [the first] message we want to see the prophecy of the first 'seven,' which is the last seven years of this age spoken of as the last week of the seventy weeks in Daniel 9. The three other sets of 'sevens' are in the book of Revelation. They are the seven seals, seven trumpets, and seven bowls. Revelation may be considered as a book of prophecy constituted with these three sets of 'sevens.' The first 'seven' in Daniel 9 is related to these three sets of 'sevens' in Revelation. The prophecy of these four 'sevens' is related to the Messiah (Christ), the nation of Israel, the New Testament believers, and the church.

Book Description
What if the commonly held beliefs concerning the Antichrist are mistaken? The Antichrist and the Second Coming looks at the Antichrist and the Second Advent of Christ from a preterist (i.e., past fulfillment) perspective and provides a unified interpretation of the little horn, the prince to come, the king of the North, the man of lawlessness, and the beast. This is the second in a two volume set on the Antichrist; it focuses on the book of Revelation. This edition stands on its own and is recommended reading even if you have not read the first volume (which focuses on Daniel and 2 Thessalonians). McKenzie shows how the Antichrist was ultimately a spiritual ruler from the abyss (Rev. 11:7) that worked through Titus in his three-and-a-half-year destruction of the Jewish nation (AD 67-70; cf. Dan. 9:26). This spirit of Antichrist was about to come out of the abyss in the first century (Rev. 17:8 NASB) and was destroyed by the Second Advent of Jesus in AD 70 (a spiritual event). Continue reading to see how McKenzie convincingly makes the biblical case for this fascinating and controversial position, and what it means for us today. Dr. Duncan McKenzie is a licensed psychologist (Ph.D. in psychology) who lives in Los Angeles, California. He has been studying Bible prophecy for the past twenty-five years and has been researching and writing this two volume set for the last twelve years.
