Chronology: This book was first copyrighted, under the title The Bible and the 

Future, in November, 1997 as an unpublished work. During 1998, numerous 

revisions were made, chapter 11 was substantially rewritten, and chapter 12 

was added. This second version of the book was copyrighted a second time, 

in September of 1998, and was self published. A third version of the book, 

including revisions to each chapter and to certain predicted dates, was 

prepared from April  through July of 2000 and an Appendix was added in 

December of 2000. 

    The fourth edition of this book was completed on June 22 of 2001.  This 

fourth edition was given a new title, The Bible and the Future of the World, in 

September of 2001, in order to distinguish it from previous editions and 

from other books.  

    The current edition of this book is the fifth edition. The most significant 

changes between the fourth and fifth edition concern some of the dates for 

various predicted events and some additional details added to predictions. 

See the Author's Forward for additional details on the chronology of this 

book and changes to predictions. 

This fifth edition was first published as an ebook on November 18 of 2004, 

and as a printed book in January of 2005.
