Countdown to Rapture - Softcover

• While a 5000 megaton warhead may kill many people, such an atomic explosion could instantaneously reduce the protective ozone shield by 50% to 70% . The illness and death from such destruction woudl be far more devistating! 
• Every 2 seconds nine babies are born and three people die...leaving a net of six or 93 million per year
• In the Last Days, we are living in the age of "throw-away" marriages. Divorces in the United States alone are above the 50% amount and increasing
• Too many Christians want to be entertained. And now several Christian media outlets promote books, music and resources that focus on the aesthetic rather than the truth of God's Word!

These are just a few of the factors that Dr. Salem Kirban's book Countdown to Rapture focus on to get people today thinking about the realities of a future eternity. Dr. Kirban's desire to is point out, through Bible prophecy, the coming signs that point toward man's ultimate judgment by God during Daniel's seventeeth week, called by many the "tribulation perioid."
