Like many people in my particular stream of evangelicalism, I used to believe confidently that I was living in the end times.
Holding my Bible in one hand and the daily news in the other, I could see clearly that they were talking about the same things: conflict in the Middle East, natural catastrophes, globalization, and the world wide web. It was all the fulfillment of prophecy. Once I started seeing the pattern, it was everywhere — not just in Daniel and Revelation, but throughout the Psalms, Prophets, and Gospels too.
