This book discusses the three themes of grace, mercy, and judgment within the context of four major time frames. The first three epochs, each culminating in unique judgments, provide historical precedents to the fourth, in which we live. As we near what might be the end of the fourth and final epoch, it is imperative that we learn from the first three. By grasping the first three historical precedents as prelude to the fourth, people can choose to become informed, prepare personally, and live as Kingdom of God people in relationship with their community of faith and their world. Will our age heed the warnings, or will it conclude with judgment as well?
