Does America—the most powerful nation on Earth—appear in Bible prophecy?

Some people believe the United States will be wiped out in a nuclear attack. Others say it’s where the Antichrist will rise. And many people wonder what life will be like in America during the seven–year Tribulation.

But what can we know for sure? And what events are setting the stage for the last days, not only in America but globally?

Terry James, who has spoken and written extensively on Bible prophecy, addresses these issues and more as he examines the pivotal role America will play:

• The irreversible move toward one world government
• The rise in world spirituality yet hatred toward true Christianity
• The danger signs in America’s faltering economic system
• The new world superpower on the horizon
• The peace that will lead to the world’s greatest war

A fascinating survey of what is to come!

The core tenets of pentecostal belief--personal salvation, Holy Ghost baptism, divine healing, and anticipation of the Lord's imminent return--took root in the first quarter of the twentieth century. Wacker examines the various aspects of pentecostal culture, including rituals, speaking in tongues, the authority of the Bible, the central role of Jesus in everyday life, the gifts of prophecy and healing, ideas about personal appearance, women's roles, race relations, attitudes toward politics and the government. Tracking the daily lives of pentecostals, and paying close attention to the voices of individual men and women, Wacker is able to identify the reason for the movement's spectacular success: a demonstrated ability to balance idealistic and pragmatic impulses, to adapt distinct religious convictions in order to meet the expectations of modern life.
