I hadn't read any reviews prior to reading this book, so I did not know what to expect. If an average reader can get through the extremely long, and sometimes ineffective bible quotations (I barely made it through myself), they will find that in the end, this book is written to convert non-Christians to the 7th Day Adventist faith. The conclusions drawn are vague at best, and no substantial proof, other than the authors interpretation of bible sections, is given as basis for any idea. Anyone can see that huge corporations control world economy and that there are elitist groups and "secret" societies...but this book is so extremely slanted from the religious perspective of the author that it is off putting to anyone who choses to question Christianity or any organized religion. The end may be coming (or NOT!) - and if it is, this book brings us a little closer to that. Grade - F.
