Late Great United States: What Bible Prophecy Reveals about America's Last Days »

Mark Hitchcock, Ph.D., an authority on Bible prophecy, has written fifteen books on the topic, including Iran: The Coming Crisis. A law school graduate, Mark was called to the ministry in the 1980s. After graduation from seminary, he became pastor of Faith Bible church in Edmond, Oklahoma, where he still serves. Mark lectures frequently on prophecy themes and has appeared on MSNBC, Fox News, and CNN. Mark and his wife, Cheryl, have two sons, Justin and Samuel.

Is it possible the United States, a superpower without peer in history, might not be a key player as the world makes its way down the road to the Battle of Armageddon? This is the central question explored by prophecy expert Mark Hitchcock in this fascinating behind-the-headlines look at numerous current events and how they relate to what the Bible says about the last days. Americans are accustomed to their country being center stage as a world power, but as Hitchcock carefully details, that may not be the case in the final scene.
