'The End Is Near!'

Or is it? The Antichrist is alive and well today! Or is he? The church is about to be raptured and will certainly escape the tribulation.... right?

When it comes to the End Times, there's so much confusion. Preachers with elaborate charts share their theories about Revelation and other prophetic books of the Bible. "Ah, Babylon stands for the United States," they say. But then other teachers share their theories: "No, Babylon stands for the Roman Catholic Church, or the European Union, or the literal Babylon rebuilt in Iraq ...."

For decades, Americans were vaguely aware that Islamist barbarians were in the deserts of the Middle East and in the mountains of Afghanistan and Pakistan, executing "infidels" and raiding villages with unrecognizable names. But the Muslim world seemed far away, remote, and irrelevant to our daily lives. Then came the terrorist attacks of 9/11, followed by attacks at Fort Hood, the Boston Marathon, San Bernardino, and more. Now terrorists seem to be emerging everywhere, unleashing senseless death and destruction on our nation. They are here, and their goal is nothing less than global conquest. Motivated by ancient prophecies, they are flooding into Western countries determined to conquer our countries and establish a global Muslim caliphate. In The Barbarians Are Here, Dr. Michael Youssef provides clear insight into the motives and mission of the Islamic extremists. He offers practical steps we can take right now to begin a New Reformation that will restore the hope of Western civilization. It's not too late. We are not doomed to destruction, even though the barbarians are already here. But we haven't a moment to lose.

"Let this book shape how you think, pray, and take the Gospel to the ends of the earth." -- R. Albert Mohler, Jr., President of The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary

"I want every American, every citizen, and every member of my family to read this book. It is foolhardy not to." -- Pat Boone, Entertainer, Pat Boone Enterprises

"Why is all of this happening now?! The nightmares have returned...The United States is in the process of recovering from the devastation caused by the earthquake along the New Madrid Fault...We thought we were ready . . . But who could guess how ravaged the States would be split down the middle by a mile wide Mississippi River?" Seth Archer mumbled to himself.

At the same time, Professor Henry Baxter can't believe the blindness of his government or it's so-called experts. "It's as plain as the nose on your face! The mantle is . . ." was all he managed said before being cut off. The stern voice of the Secretary of the Interior was short and to the point, "The President is more concerned with what is happening today! Before I can take this into him, I need more proof, more than just computer printouts. Subject closed!"

"What else can go WRONG? I have an Elder from the Hopi Nation wanting to help me awaken. I'm seeing GHOSTS. The animals are TALKING to me. I MUST BE LOSING MY MIND!" Seth shouted to the four winds.

"I have your proof!" Prof. Baxter attempted to show his data, "The earthquakes in New York are being caused by . . ." "It's not enough," the Secretary of Interior bluntly stated. "The President said the boys over at US Geological Services don't agree."

"I'm having visions of something bad. It's worse than the New Madrid fault . . . Even the reptile aliens know of it," Seth explained. And almost at the same time, in two different places in the United States, Seth Archer and Professor Baxter asked the same question - "IS ANYONE LISTENING?"
