The Coming Worldwide Calvary
The most important New Testament prophecy is also the most neglected and the least understood, despite our Lord’s command to “know and understand it.” See Matthew 24:15. “The abomination standing in the holy place” launches the tribulation such as never was, bringing a worldwide Calvary that threatens to annihilate the Christian church. This scenario is also discussed by Paul the Apostle in 2 Thessalonians 2 under the title of the “man of sin,” the Antichrist who sits in the temple of God at present restrained by the mysterious “hinderer.” This book is written for the layperson longing to know what the Bible actually teaches about the future and what will happen at the end of time. In it Dr. Ford describes Antichrist’s nature and work and clarifies the gospel of Justification by Faith that Antichrist seeks to destroy.

The Time Is At Hand: An Introduction to the Book of Revelation
For nearly 2,000 years, the book of Revelation has been viewed as the most difficult book in the Bible. The hundreds of commentaries in the Library of Congress testify that there is no unanimity about the meaning of the symbols of Revelation. And yet this is the only book in the Bible where a special blessing is pronounced on its readers. It’s a book from Jesus Christ about himself, his gospel, the future, and what will happen to the saints at the end of time. Desmond Ford’s Introduction to the Book of Revelation is the fruit of decades of study plus research at the University of Manchester under Professor F.F. Bruce. Ford offers a much-neglected key—this sacred book can only be unlocked by understanding the preceding 65 books of the Bible and, in particular, the life, teachings, and death of Jesus.
The main message of Revelation is that the church is to repeat the experience of its Lord. After its final proclamation of the gospel, it will be condemned to martyrdom. And this climactic sin of the world will precipitate the return of Christ in glory.
Dr. Ford has lectured about Revelation in churches and hall in many countries, on radio and TV, as well as college classes. He has taught hundreds of ministers. He lives in Australia, has a wife, Gillian, and three children—Elènne, Paul, and Luke.
