The Purpose of This Book
This book does not have the purpose of comparing news events with the prophecies of the Scriptures, for prophecy itself is not being fulfilled in our days. The aim of this book is to provide the reader with a summarized outline of the "things which must shortly come to pass" (). The author does not claim originality for the truth compiled here. It is simply that which godly men gathered to the name of the Lord () have enjoyed and taught over the last 150 years. Although we cannot be dogmatic as to the exact chronology of each particular event, we have taken care to follow a sequential order. This was difficult in some parts, for many details occur simultaneously.
The Bible references used in the original English version were taken from the King James Bible, and in Portuguese from the Almeida Revista e Corrigida and Almeida Corrigida Fiel versions. In some cases the New Translation by J. N. Darby was used.
May the effect of this book be to draw us closer to the Lord Jesus Christ, and to cause us to lift up our eyes in joyful expectation of His imminent return.
