The book follows a number of strands; a re-evaluation of ancient historical events in the Middle East in light of modern geoscience and cosmology, a philosophic and spiritual journey and a personal travelogue around the Eastern Mediterranean. It then moves into an analysis of biblical prophecy and eschatological predictions through to 2031. Personal memoir is restricted to short family anecdotes, meetings with interesting individuals and adult life in exploration geoscience. The travelogue component is interwoven throughout the historical and prophetic discussion and is based on the author's holiday / research visit to Egypt, Greece, Turkey and the Holy Land immediately prior to the Arab Spring uprising. The narrative begins with a brief look at the story of Abraham, the city of Harran, his home town in today's Turkey and the 11,000 years old 'Eden temple' archaeological findings at Gobekli Tepe just 50 kilometres away. The focus then shifts further back to the Creation account of Genesis 1, and suggests its original source was a prophetic one, given the parallels with modern cosmology and geology. The nature of the last ice age and the flood epoch which followed are discussed before diving into an analysis of language prompted by the Egyptian hieroglyphs. A description of the Thera (Santorini) eruption ca. 1600 BC and its impact on the Exodus is discussed. The second half of the book focusses on the visions of the Jewish prophets in the Tanakh (O.T.) and New Testament and the prophetic interpretation rules that are revealed. The 'seven times' of Daniel are then explored including the midpoint 'abomination of desolation' of Daniel. This event begins the extended Islamic period and a further 'time, times and half a time' which ends in the Six Day War of June 1967. Amazingly, there is also a retrospective time cycle that identifies the exact year Abraham set forth from Harran and by default the Exodus. This 'latter day' period and beyond to 2024-2031 is described in detail in the Revelation to Saint John and includes World War 2, the Holocaust and the prophesied 'foreign fighters' Gog and Magog who come from the four corners to kill and pillage. The Whore City, Babylon the Great of Revelation is identified beyond any doubt and its catastrophic destruction by earthquake noted. As the Middle East plunges into war once more and the 'Age of Pisces' draws to a close, the shattering prophecies of Ezekiel, Ezra and John reveal a world 'descending into primeval silence' before the appearing of the 'sign of the Son of Man' in the sky.
