Russia Rising: Book Review

A special thanks to Tyndale House Publishers for sending me a complimentary copy of Mark Hitchcock’s book, Russia Rising.

It is not the outcome of presidential elections or the occurrence of astronomical phenomena that are the main indications regarding the end of days. Rather, it is the rising and allying of the nations and kingdoms surrounding Israel. In Russia Rising, Mark Hitchcock will walk you through step by step in revealing Russia’s involvement in end times prophecy. Using Scripture and analyzing recent events, Hitchcock articulates Biblical prophecy clearly and understandably. Perfect for the Biblical scholar or the new believer. I highly recommend Russia Rising to any who are seeking to deepen their understanding of current events in light of Christ’s return.

Russia Rising brings the reader into mental preparation and is a guide to aid in clearly considering the eschatological implications of the world events of our time. It can be easily read, understood and, most importantly, Hitchcock keeps on track and maintains a very informative and doctrinally sound walk-through of Ezekiel 38 and 39 without getting lost in opinions and speculations. He uses the Bible as the ultimate authority and he does so with great care and humility.

If you have ever wondered if and how our current world powers (i.e. America, Russia, etc.) play a part in the fulfillment of Biblical revelation in the last days, then this book is for you. Gog and Magog tend to mean very little, if anything, to the modern reader of Scripture. However, Hitchcock clearly identifies these archaic nations as we best know them today. Russia Rising is well worth your time.

ESCHATOLOGICALLY IMPACTFUL!!!
