Book Description
In this work Barry Gumm has focused on Biblical numerology, Astronomy and traditional astrology science. He focuses on specific chapters in the Book of Revelation. In his work he uses the above methods to define the future date of the end of the age. As an evangelical theologian I acknowledge the Bible places significance on numbers (7 - perfection, 10 -complete, 40 – in all directions (North, South, East and West – High, Deep, Wide and Long) complete). Much has been written about the truth there are no numbers in the Hebrew and Greek character set _ that context determines if a character is a letter or a number. A well known example is the Greek word for Our Lord Jesus (6k. iasou - - 1 - 10, a - 8, 5 – 200, 0 -70, u – 400) 5 – 200 = 888). The Bible uses numbers for perfection, completeness, unity, divisions as mentioned. Astronomy has been noted the alignment of planets in our solar system and the effect of star definition on human condition, affairs and relationships. Barry’s work clearly defines his concept and calculation on end times. We know from the Holy Scripture we are in the end times - especially when it is evident that attitudes to our Christian civilization, heritage and way of life are being disestablished (Romans 1:18-32); 1 Timothy 6:3-10; 2 Timothy 3:1-9; 2 Peter 2:1-22; 3:1-10). Barry has spent a great deal of his work examining the evils of the love of money mentioned in the above references.
