The Fullness of Time Jul 17, 2007
The Fullness of Time: The Truth About What's Coming and When is actually five volumes discussing biblical prophecy: Speaking Bible Language, A Bride for Christ, Troublous Times, The Bible: A Crystal Ball, and Christ Returns. This book is not a doom and gloom guide to the bible or a collection of radical prophecies meant to scare people into repenting their sins. Instead, this book celebrates the love of Jesus while analyzing common misconceptions and well known prophecies about the later church, tribulation before the rapture, the beast, the man of sin, the antichrist, and the second coming.
Biblical interpretation is often extremely tricky. There are probably as many interpretations of the bible and its prophetic nature as there are individuals who have read and studied the scriptures. The author of The Fullness of Time: The Truth About What's Coming has both thoroughly studied the bible and intensely contemplated its meaning. These actions have let the author to a number of very intriguing conclusions about the bible and the nature of some of the prophecies and secret knowledge of the bible. Though his conclusions are numerous, some of the most significant of these suppositions is that the bible contains symbolic information about the lives of Jesus and his early church; the downfall of this church after the martyring of Jesus' disciples; the true identities of the beast, the man of sin, and the antichrist; and the nature and timing of the later church. The author also states that spiritual discernment is the key to fully understanding this symbolic information. The Fullness of Time: The Truth About What's Coming and When contains a good deal of food for thought.

Makes You Think! Apr 24, 2005
Do the ancient writings of Biblical prophesy have any relevance in today's world? You bet they do! In The Fullness of Time, J.B. Orly has written about a subject that generations of Biblical scholars have puzzled over and examined. Mr. Orly's book makes the complexity much more understandable and less mysterious.
The Fullness of Time is subtitled "The Truth About What's Coming and - When." In this highly readable book, Mr. Orly has explained Biblical prophesy to his understanding. He doesn't try to "convert" the reader to his way of thinking, but only to offer his opinions on prophesy.
Often when thinking of Biblical prophesy, we tend to think of the book of Revelation. Mr. Orly definitely covers Revelation in The Fullness of Time, but he also covers other parts of Biblical prophesy, especially the book of Daniel. Current events are related to events that were predicted centuries earlier in the Bible. The Fullness of Time is not written as many books of Biblical prophesy are written; that is, with language that is highly theological and so difficulty to understand that you have to have a dictionary by your side as you sit and study. Instead, this book is very readable and understandable, and uses modern language.
With 546 pages, The Fullness of Time is definitely a hefty and meaty book. Don't let the length scare you, however! Mr. Orly has divided the pages into five volumes; each volume has several chapter. Furthermore, the chapters are divided into much smaller sections, many of which are no more than 2 or 3 pages long. The Fullness of Time would be a wonderful book to use in supplementing a daily Bible study, if only because of the way it's divided. The author has gone to great lengths in researching the book, as well as in documenting that research. The chapter notes are very impressive!
If you're even vaguely interested in Biblical prophesy or if you're looking to expand your knowledge base of it, make sure The Fullness of Time is in your reading material!
J.B. Orly, author of The Fullness of Time has a master's degree. Mr. Orly has held several interesting positions in various businesses, including chairman of a major research foundation, as well a president of a private company. He has been published in a variety of articles in trade journals.
