 This is nothing but garbage November 14, 2008

I have never read a bigger piece of trash than this book. If you are into fearmongering and to misguided use of Scripture to make decisions about the world around us, this book is for you.
Full of contradictions and short on solutions, this isnt worth the time to even consider and truthfully I dont know why I am wasting my time writing this review.
If you believe the end of the world is near, rejoice! If you are of sane mind and believe in the inherant goodness of people and a kind and loving God, only use this book to wipe yourself after a bathroom break.
 Absolute junk with no biblical understanding October 30, 2009

Sensationalism to sell a book. He consistently misinterprets scripture and twists true Biblical meaning in order to create hype and hysteria about something he knows nothing about. It sells books and puts money in his pocket. The title should say 10 Prophetic clues David Jeremiah can't afford for you to ignore. What little scripture he refers to he got it wrong. ALL of it.
Example: he says the "oil" David refers to is crude oil. David is obviously referring to Olive Oil. David had no use nor knowledge of crude oil.
Several things I've know about people who have tried to prophecy/interpret prophecy in the last 40 years. No one has got it right. Understand your 20th century church history and you'll see what I mean. I remember people thought Ronald Wilson Regan was the anti Christ because he had 6 letters in each of his name giving him the mark of the beast. Jeremiah is just as wrong as they were.
Jeremiah also makes huge sweeping statements about issues he knows nothing about. The assumption that all Muslims believe in the same thing is like saying all Christians believe in the same thing. There are liberal and conservative. There are some who think Lutheran is the only way and that all else are going to hell. Mormons consider themselves christian. Islam is as diverse as the Christian faith, and yes there are some who wish to do us harm, but there are more who don't. Just like not all Christians kill abortion doctors. Jeremiah lumps them all into radical Islamic terrorists.
Here's a healthy way at looking at prophecy. What God is going to do He's going to do. Worrying about it isn't going to change it. We just need to live meaningful lives to change ourselves and the world around us until he comes back.
Sensationalism sells and that's what he's counting on and taking all your money to the bank and laughing all the way.

Hardest read EVER! Seriously, it was worse than getting teeth pulled. I mean seriously can anyone love this book? I think its humanly impossible. It took me forever to read, I felt like every minute I was sitting through a 6 year olds piano recital.
Ok, enough venting. Although I must say that I am embarrassed that I even have to put this book on my blog. I will be much more picky when it comes to future review picks. The reason I git so frustrated with the book is because he is just saying the same thing over and over again. I really felt like the author could have just written a 1-2 thousand word essay on the subject and been done with it.
I might like also to have a sit down with this guy to find out if he's human. If he is I'll want to know if he's alive or undead. His material was boring and I think, irrelevant.
DO I really need a formal conclusion? Only read this book if you plan to spend like three months on it, not because its thick but that you'll be asleep 5 minutes into it.
BTW, sorry about the negativity for all you hippies out there. I've learned my lesson and will chose wisely next time.

What is wrong with the world are intolerant self-righteous radicals who want to see everyone convert to their faith. What is the difference between a muslim extremist who wants to convert his christian neighbour and a christian preacher who wants to convert his muslim neighbour? Not much, even if one ostensibly claims its by love.
If a christian converts to Islam it does not affect christianity, even if a million did, & same applies to a muslim who converts to christianity. The world will be a much better place when people like david jeremiah and others in other religions accepts the other as he is and stops converting him. I as a muslim have alwas denounced violence, i believe in jesus in my own way because i don't have to believe in him like david jeremiah does, i don't find it offensive if he doesn't belive in Mohamed but i do find it offensive when he talks about converting me into christianity with "Love". Converting the whole world into one faith, whichever it is, entails bloodshed the likes history has never seen. History proves fanatics on both sides wrong. There is tremendous volume of violence in christian history, david jeremiah is wrong when he talks about radical islam as a danger to the world, its extremism in general, whether racial or religious, many faces to one evil, intolerance. Unfortunately, this book is very dissapointing in terms of tolerance and "love".

haven't read the book. Would never read this sort of pop-cult pablum... I imagine it is the perfect example of opiate for the massses...
I only know about it because the author's name was mentioned by a woman at work who, while watching Obama getting sworn in, said that it's "his type" that will "destroy this country, if he's not too lazy" and that "sad days like these are only made better when I [she] listen[s] to David Jeremiah." so I came to Amazon and was a little astonished that she turns to end-of-days garbage to feel better about... whatever.
But I was wondering... Where in this learned text are the 4 billion Chinese figured?
I understand the Middle East is the crucible where this fantastical drama will play out... but is there any thought given to China exerting its influence over that region for the next several hundred years and controlling oil and quashing Islamic Fundamentalism vs Crusaders/Jews, all the while forever changing the world's paradigm from the Biblical historical/philosophical continuum/narrative that you are all so fond of to one you've never considered?
And if there is a literal 'day of reckoning,' is Asia just collateral damage? All Buddhists and Hindus and whatever else... go... wherever, while Israelites and Pentacostals ascend to Heaven?
Fascinating.
