These Last Days is a nontraditional inductive study and an investigation of Biblical prophecy concerning these last days. It is an inductive search for the truth and not a deductive search to verify dogma, doctrine or preconceived notions. It is not based on many erroneous traditions born of deductive thinking.

Prophetic events in this book are offered in several forms. A narrative of the events is presented for those who appreciate learning through story accounts. The narrative presents an overview of these last days in story form. The narratives are followed by Holy Scripture, the foundation for the narratives. Scriptures were taken from the New International version unless otherwise stated. Emphasis has been added for calling attention to a particular verse or verses. For a more detailed study, additional Scripture references are listed for the serious research student. Maps for identification purposes may be found on the website at www.philandpatti.com.

Chapter study guides for the book will be posted weekly beginning February 1, 2014. Please feel free to send comments, questions, insights, etc. to philandpatti@gmail.com. If you would like to receive chapters of the book in your inbox please email and we will send the updated writings each week.

            A Prophetic Puzzle
            Puzzling Revelations
            The Seven Churches

Putting the events of these last days together is puzzling work.  All the puzzle pieces are there. To get a complete picture of the last days we must study the entire Bible, including the pieces of the Old Testament not just the pieces in the book of Revelation.  To look only at the book of Revelation for puzzle pieces of these last days is like looking at a jigsaw puzzle of the American flag and considering only the red pieces.  We cannot put the entire puzzle of the American flag together without using the blue and white pieces also.
