RELEASE DATE: 12/27/13 End Time Book is Sure to Spark Debate Among Prophecy Teachers Collegium Books Publishing Celebrates the Long Awaited Release of its Book on End Times Cannon Falls, Minn: Collegium Books Publishing just released Mark David Shaw’s latest book on end time prophecy titled, “The Failure of the Church: A Chronology of End Time Events.”  The chronology of the rapture of Christians is a point of disagreement among many enthusiasts of end time prophecy.  The primary difference of this debate is whether Christians will remain on earth or be absent during the great tribulation.  What if both camps are correct? What if some Christians will be removed before the tribulation and some will be left to endure it?  What would qualify one to escape this time of trouble and what would consign another to go through it?  These questions rise to the surface as the chronology or series of events becomes the focus of end time prophecies.   Most books on the apocalypse focus on the “antichrist” or the “mark of the beast,” but this author takes a different approach.  Shaw says, “Many Christians are lulled into thinking that the end days are just something that plays out as a future event and is not something we should invest time and effort in.  However, if they realized the manner in which they live life today will affect how they live life in eternity; they might be motivated to discover what this all means.” What does living in the end times have to do with Christians?  Is there something Christians can do to prepare for the tribulation?  What will society look like when we draw close to the end?  What happens after the tribulation?  Is the Church in America preparing their people to be “end time” saints?  These questions and many more are explored in this thesis.  Mark Shaw intimates that it is not as important to know the identity of the antichrist as it is to know your responsibility as a Christian since we draw ever closer to this important time on earth.  How the Christian relates to Christ today will determine how they relate to Him in the end days. The author explains the symbology of end time prophecies using the highly symbolized Hebrew language.  The interpretations of these icons are then brought to life by allowing other passages in the bible to identify their meanings.  By staying consistent with this analysis of symbols, a story emerges which reveals that hundreds of years of prophecy concerning end time events are in complete agreement. Author Mark David Shaw holds a master degree in theology from Biblical Life College and Seminary and is the President of Collegium Bible Institute, where he has been training men and women in ministry since 1999.  Along with his wife Kathryn, he has developed curriculum for CBI to equip the next generation of leaders. “The Failure of the Church: A Chronology of End Time Events” is available for $21.95 on Amazon.com.
