PROPHECY 20/20
by Dr. Chuck Missler
published: 2006
.
PROPHECY 20/20 by Dr. Chuck Missler will do for your insight into Bible prophecies about world events what carrots will do for your eyesight. It’s been said that eating lots of carrots will improve your vision, and I believe it. Have you ever seen a rabbit seeing an optometrist? See?

.
Well, I think PROPHECY 20/20 will also help you to see where we currently stand on God’s timeline. And I’ll tell you right now what time I think it is: I think we’re about to get that “wake-up call”; I think the alarm clock is about to blare; I think it’s later than you think. Anyone who believes that all is well with the world is dreaming... but not for long! We’re about to wake up to a nightmare!
.
When one has read as many books on Bible prophecy about the End-Times as I have, they reach a point of diminishing returns. I thought: Do I really need to read another book on this subject? Well, I’m glad I did because Chuck Missler’s PROPHECY 20/20 is so up-to-date, and Missler always organizes his material in such a logical fashion. I even learned a few more very important things -- not bad for an old dog, eh? This is the fourth Missler book I’ve mentally digested and each one has been a memorable meal.
.
PROPHECY 20/20 will give you a sharp overview of past Biblical prophecies fulfilled and then explore those yet to come. And I strongly urge you to dig in now because that light you see at the end of the tunnel (if you’ve got your eyes open at all) is indeed an oncoming train!
.
Did you know that an Old Testament Bible prophecy certifiably written at least three hundred years before the birth of Christ foretold the EXACT DAY He would ride that donkey into Jerusalem and proclaim Himself the King of Israel? Did you know that an EMP attack could, in a matter of minutes, blast the United States back into the 1800s? (Do you know what an EMP attack is?) Did you know that Allah is not the Arabic name for God, but is the proper name for the moon god, and that’s why the crescent moon adorns mosques throughout the world? Did you know that three thousand slave labor camps in China are presently exploiting tens of millions of slave labor prisoners to produce much of the $45 Billion dollars in Chinese goods imported by America, and that America still designates China as a “Most Favored Nation Trading Partner”? And did you think that America won’t answer to God for this?
.
Although PROPHECY 20/20 examines far more than just America’s place in the End-Times scenario, one of the things I most appreciated about this book was Chapter 26, 'The American Challenge'. Many Christian preachers and writers love to extol the virtues of The United States; they lay it on thick about how we’re the last bastion of freedom, the warriors for Christ on the globe, the conscience and the example for the rest of the world, and all that other hogwash! Missler is one writer who doesn’t shy away from pouring the truth straight out of the vial:
.
Where is the most dangerous place for an American to be? In his/her mother’s womb -- there’s a one in four chance of being murdered. Over the last 30 years the United States has experienced a: 560% increase in violent crime; 400% increase in illegitimate births; 400% increase in the divorce rate; 300% increase in single-parent homes; 200% increase in teenage suicides; and a 75% DROP in S.A.T. scores. The deterioration of each of these indicators -- and dozens of others -- can be traced to the year we outlawed The Bible from our schools. Think God might have something to say to us about all this?
.
One area in which Missler and I disagree is the identity of “that great city Babylon” which is utterly destroyed in Revelation’s 18th chapter. He is looking for a reemergence to world power of the original Babylon in Iraq. One reason (among many) that I am sure New York City is “that great city Babylon” is that the 18th chapter of Revelation clearly marks her as a major seaport. This could hardly describe Iraq’s Babylon! I’m as sure as I can be that either New York City is “Babylon” or else the End-Times are still 100 years or more into the future because it would probably require that much time for another city to attain the wealth and influence described in Revelation 18. I believe just as strongly, however, that we now stand on the edge of “The End.” But as with all Bible prophecy, a “wait and see” attitude is the most prudent. (Although Missler’s observation on page 238 that the United Nations may be seeking to relocate itself out of New York “for a number of reasons” certainly doesn’t hurt my case any!)
.
I highly recommend Chuck Missler’s PROPHECY 20/20. This book, along with END-TIME PROPHECIES OF THE BIBLE by David Haggith, may be the only two you really need on this subject.
.
I’ll end with the Billy Graham quote found on page 245: “If God doesn’t judge America, He will have to apologize to Sodom and Gomorrah.”.

  1. Al Bondigas here. Good review. I always enjoy reading your reviews, but, I've been done with the end-times stuff for a while now. I've heard so many for so long now. I sure don't look forward to going through it, but I hate seeing so many people get away with such evil.

    1. Thanks, BROTHER! And, yeah, I hear ya.

      I've been welcoming the End-Times now for quite awhile, as you know. I'm sick of these sick bastards and the evil they get away with in "this world". Like killing babies in the womb, abducting innocent little children for their sick sexual pleasure, and murdering them to harvest their organs.

      "This world" is sicker than I even knew just ten years ago, so I say, "Come, Lord Jesus!" Yesterday wouldn't be too soon for me.

      But the Good News is that God knows all and Divine Justice will prevail... and SOON!

      We were fooled a number of times decades ago when we were listening to the "psychic" frauds and all those money-grubbing charlatans. But by the Grace of the Holy Spirit, I have been put on the proper path and I feel VERY CONFIDENT in saying...

      This shit will end in 2029, give or take just a year or two. If it doesn't, then Bible prophecies will fail, and NO Bible prophecy has EVER failed! Not once!!

      So, that's only 12 years from now. If we've held on THIS long, surely we can last another 12 years. Plus, as old as we are now, the years seem to fly by so much faster. Judge Al Bondigas, we are very nearly there. I would bet ALL of my "collectibles" on this!!!

    1. Thanks, dIEDRE, I needed that. That's a great song! (It almost made me cry a little bit. Shhh....! Tell NO ONE!)

      Someone -- Lee, I believe -- used that song in a BOTB once.

      When I really need to downshift and relax, here's the song where I go:

      If you ever see me write "I need a cold Mojito", well now you know where I stole that line.

      And here's a much different side of that same terrific songwriter:

    2. "Purple sunset, pumpkin moon," Really nice yacht rock, Reno. Cool video as well.
      The second one reminds me of my brothers in their youth. Or was that last month?
      When you throw in 'Moonlight feels right' the guy has quite a range.
      Did you know that Hemingway had a liking for Mojitos? He said as much in a missive he scribbled on the wall of a bar in Florida. I imagine the cocktail was quite customary at his home in Cuba ;-)

    3. "Yacht Rock" -- Dang, dIEDRE, I think you just invented a new musical genre. (Or at least a new label for a previously invented musical style.) Nice!

      Your Brothers... Ha! They sound like my kinda guys! (I mean that in a strictly [Link:) "CONFIDENT HETEROSEXUAL" way!!!) The next time they're in Reno, tell 'em to look me up. I know all the hottest nightspots where all the best-looking women hang out (and ignore ya).

      I didn't know that about Hemingway. However, I also scribbled my admiration for Mojitos on the wall of a jail cell in Ensenada, Mexico, on April 24, 1983. (Ernie ain't got nuttin' on me!)
