Customer Reviews

Not beach or bedtime reading, but an amazing, conservative overview of Bible prophecy
Unlike memoirs, humorous essays, and some other works of non-fiction, ANCIENT PROPHECIES REVEALED will not provide you with hours of casual, easy reading. If you are a serious student of the Bible, however, this book offers a comprehensive, exhaustively detailed overview of prophetical Scriptures and their fulfillments that would take months, even years, for you to compile.

Be advised, however, that Dr. Ken Johnson's expositions concerning prophecy are based upon a literal (grammatical-historical) interpretation of Bible Scriptures. This view leaves room for the interpretation of some words and phrases as being symbolic or figurative, but it insists that the Bible means what it says unless allegorical meanings are obviously intended. (The "Beast," for example, symbolizes the Antichrist, but "one thousand years" means one thousand years.)

The author has formatted his book on a timeline that begins with 3924 BC, the date he assigns to "Creation." An Introduction that asks and answers the question "What is Prophecy" is followed by a dated chart entitled "Outline of the Prophetical Ages." If you will use Amazon's "Search Inside The Book" feature to view the Table of Contents, you will see that the book is divided into two sections. The first section concerns prophecies that have already been fulfilled, while the second section deals with prophecies yet to be fulfilled, those labeled "Future Events--Post 2008."

Each of the eight major divisions in the first section covers a time span that includes from four to thirteen dated events related to that division. Each of these events displays a chart listing sequentially dated sub-events, and each sub-event gives references to Scriptures predicting the event and to Scriptures declaring its fulfillment.

The "Future Events--Post 2008" section is organized similarly, but is without, of course, dates or Scripture references describing these prophecies' fulfillments.

But lest you think this book contains only dates, charts, and Scripture references, I hasten to add that each sub-event is accompanied by a commentary that wonderfully illuminates that event. These commentaries, alone, are worth the price of the book.

Perhaps the most intriguing part of the book is the first section's division labeled "Modern Israel." Here, the author gives dates and Scripture references for 53 prophecies that were given during biblical times and fulfilled between the years 1948 AD through 2006 AD. These prophecies include "The Rebirth of Israel," "The Temple Mount Taken," "The Fall of the Berlin Wall," and other modern-day events.

The author's commentaries reveal (to me, at least) that he holds a pretribulational, premillennial, and dispensational view of Bible prophecy, the view accepted by most conservative evangelicals and mainline protestant denominations. However, many of today's conservatives may question Dr. Johnson's 3924 BC as the actual date of creation. Nor do all still accept Usher's now-disproved chronology published in 1654, wherein he asserts 4004 BC to be the date of creation. (If you are interested in how Dr. Johnson arrived at his creation date, read his book ANCIENT POST-FLOOD HISTORY, available on Amazon.com.)

Creation dates aside, I believe that even theologians with more liberal views will find this book interesting and invaluable for the wonderfully organized material that it contains.

Even though this book may provoke controversy among liberal and conservative Bible scholars, I have rated it with five stars because of its definitive compilation of fulfilled and yet-to-be-fulfilled prophecies. This feature makes it a valuable resource for all students of Bible prophecy.
