Subtitle: Christianity's Perennial Fascination with Predicting the End of the World
About the Title: Throughout Christian history, bizarre fringe groups and well-meaning saints alike have been fully convinced that events in their lifetime were fulfilling Bible prophecy.
In The Day and The Hour, Gumerlock spans two thousand years of conjecture on the last days, disclosing the dreams and delusions of those who believed that their sect was the 144,000 of Revelation 7; that the 1290 days of Daniel 12 had expired in their generation; that the "Man of Sin" of II Thessalonians 2 was reigning in their time; that a Rapture of the saints, a Great Tribulation, a Battle of Armageddon were just around the corner; or that a Millenial Kingdom was about to dawn.
By exposing these erroneous predictions made century after century, The Day and The Hour encourages an approach of "cautious ignorance" concerning the date of the final coming of Christ and related events, and magnifies the truth of Christ's words that the day and the hour is indeed unknown.
This fascinating chronicle of predictions will rivet the attention of any student of Bible prophecy, regardless of your eschatological position.

This is a tremendous and unique resource. It's easy to believe that many have predicted the end of the world throughout history, but it is another thing to read the historical accounts. If you, or someone you know, just can't get over the feeling that we are living in the last days, read this book. It is a refreshing dose of perspective. From the Huns and Moslems believed to be Gog and Magog, to the comets in the 16th century, and many, many more...this is smelling salts that wake you up from silly eisegetical meandering.
