The Rise and Fall of the Antichrist: Islam, Allah, and the Antichrist in Prophecy by Charles Massegee is one of the best that I have read on the book of Revelation. If you are one who has always been a little doubtful about getting into the book of Revelation and trying to understand it, there is no better time than the present. From the explanation of the symbols, to what prophecies have already been fulfilled, to why we are now living in the end times, Mr. Massegee has laid it all out, verse by verse, chapter by chapter. Many people are afraid of what the future holds, and getting into the book of Revelation without understanding adds to that fear. With a deeper understanding of the book as the author guides you through, you will come to realize there is nothing to fear as a Christian but, rather, you should rejoice.

I feel like the book's cover alone gives a chilling representation of the book of Revelation and what one can see will happen. I like the way the author has broken it down verse by verse as he explains each chapter. He compares the churches mentioned in Revelation with the churches today and the countries then, as compared to their location today. As he takes an in-depth look into Islam and Allah, one can see how the antichrist will be revealed. He talks about the Christian Trinity of God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit, and states that Satan also has his own trinity. This is a book that I do not recommend reading through quickly, but take the time to digest what you are reading. Open your Bible up to Revelation and follow through as the author presents the scriptures. As a reader who has always loved to get into the prophecy books of the Bible, this is a book that I will read and study quite often. Whether you have been a Christian most of your life or are a new Christian, I recommend this book.
