one of the best end times books. the reason being is because it is in easy to understand form. this is a good book to be given to family members or friends who has never studied the end times. easy to read, easy to grasp without having to be an end times scholar.
The Destiny of America? January 21, 2009
Dr. Bradley W. England (Springfield, Missouri)
16 out of 17 found this review helpful
Dr. Mark Hitchcock has penned a much needed and asked for volume
in the field of eschatology. This author is not a virtual new
comer to prophetic themes, for he has authored fifteen books in
this arena. He is rapidly ascending to the upper tiers of prophetic
scholars.
In this latest offering by Hitchcock, he presents us with a well
written, easy to read, Biblically centered approach to a very
difficult question. It would be relatively easy to take a subject
such as this and to sensationalize it. Dr. Hitchcock avoids this
temptation by assessing the facts in a careful, sober and balanced
examination.
Hitchcock begins by asking the "question that everyone is asking",
namely: What is the role of the United States in end times prophecy?
He then traverses into an examination and exegesis of the four
prominent views concerning America's destiny. Is America Babylon
the Great? Is America the unnamed nation in Isaiah 18, or is the
United States really the lost tribes of Israel? Finally, is America
one of the "young lions of Tarshish" mentioned in Ezekiel 38?
Hitchcock believes that the USA will not play a prominent role in
the end times. He bolsters his view with a chapter on America's
dependence on foreign oil. He then discusses this nations growing
economic nightmare, and takes up the real possibility of a domestic
terrorist threat on American soil with a nuclear nightmare intended
upon bringing this country to her knees.
This author believes that we may be on the verge of God abandoning
America because of her continued and willful sinfulness. He cites
the sexual revolution, homosexual problem, and the fostering and
applauding of open evil as examples of God's disfavor with this
nation. He builds a strong case for the demise of the United States
as a global superpower and its diminished role in foreign affairs.
He concludes in appendix A with a series of questions and answers
that many people are pondering: Will United States troops participate
in the Battle of Armegeddon? Could America give birth to the
antichrist, and will the United States be able to be a key role
in a middle east peace accord? These are a few of the questions.
This is a very thoughtful book for anyone who has wondered the
place of America in Bible prophecy.
Informative and eye-opening June 29, 2009

This was my second book of Mark's to read, and I thought it was a good book. It was very detailed in a lot of things, and was very informative.
Unfortunately, as with any book of this type that deals with current events, much of the information is dated even though the book is relatively new. It was written before the Obama administration took office, so his chapters on America being blessed because of their support for Israel is a little out of date since we are no longer the staunch allies of Israel we've always been since their inception. Since we are now trying to "reach out" to the "extremists" and told Israel they WILL be dividing Jerusalem, it will be interesting to see how America turns out from here.
I took one star off because some of this seems a lot like filler. It's almost as if this was a booklet that was turned into a book. Don't get me wrong, the information is good, it just seems the book drifts a few times here and there. Still, this is a great book and I recommend it for anyone interested in the possibilities of America's future.
Worth the Read May 4, 2009

Sometimes when people interpret Holy Scripture, they interpret their own way. I think this guy is pretty much right on the mark. This book made total sense. This book is worth the read. I highly recommend it.
Lots of Statistics February 7, 2010
ME Stone
Very clearly written with extensive data to support it. However, it did seem to favor a certain political agenda and I don't agree with the author's view of the United States as it relates to Israel.
With that being said, I would still recommend this book.
