The Kingdom of God is near. For many believers, it is closer than some might imagine, but how can we all know for sure? Author Walter R. Scarborough wondered the same, while seeing several believers not understanding or being prepared for Jesus' Second Coming. His new manuscript, From Today to Eternity, is Volume 1 of a multi-volume set that studies Bible prophecy on the end-times and interpreting the Bible to know God's intentions for the present and the future. Supported by references from renowned theological writers such as Tim LaHaye and Mark Hitchcock, Walter examines the eschatology theology to understand Bible prophecy for eternity in heaven. A full exploration of the Bible is given: from defining dispensationalism to the timing of the Rapture to the Holy Trinity and the relationship of God and the Church. The world is drifting from God; now is the time to come back to Him.

One the one hand the story of a happy marriage based on mutual esteem which was able to overcome the barrier of death, this book also gives a revealing glimpse into what it may be like for the human psyche to survive the death of the material body. Walter Shepherd published some fifty factual books on various aspects of science, including the creative process and astronomy, during his lifetime. His interesting and original ideas about the nature of the universe are therefore based on strong scientific possibilities.
