Bøger af Charles Ozanne

The Empires of the End-Time are looked at through Daniel's telescopic lens, and the uncharted end-times and between-times of history are laid bare in Daniel's penetrating beam. Most conservative commentators interpret Daniel in retrospect; i.e. from the viewpoint of later times. They look at history as it subsequently occurred and finds the fulfilment of Daniel in the unfolding events of recorded history. However Charles Ozanne, himself a conservative, adopts an altogether different approach. He takes the view that to obtain a correct understanding of the prophecy of Daniel it must be seen in prospect; looking forward from Daniel's day. We will have a better understanding of the book if its predictions are interpreted prospectively, from the viewpoint of Daniel himself, and not retrospectively, from the viewpoint of later times. When this is done we have a better chance of grasping the prophet's meaning. As far as we are aware, no previous writer has consistently applied this approach to the book of Daniel and, as such, the student of prophecy will gain much fresh insight from Empires of the End-Time.

The Bible is overflowing with numbers and dates, but are they reliable and do they have anything to teach us? Can they be accepted as historically viable in the 21st century, or is it true that many of them are inflated and contradictory? What precisely does the Bible have to say on the subject of Chronology? Can the biblical dates be reconciled with those derived from the Assyrian Eponym Canon? In which year was our Lord born and in which year did He die and rise from the dead? These are some of the questions addressed in this book. The writer believes he has the answers and would like to share his findings with honest seekers after truth. He invites you to join him in this quest.CHARLES OZANNE was born in Crowborough, Sussex, in 1936. He read Theology at Oxford where he had to contend with the so-called Higher Criticism of the Bible. Later he did a second degree in Hebrew and Aramaic at the University of Manchester which he followed up with research in the Book of Revelation under the supervision of Professor F.F. Bruce.Charles has been interested in Bible Chronology from an early age, and now in retirement has had the time to put it all together in the present work. He has also written a commentary on Daniel entitled Empires of the End-Time and a fair number of shorter studies, all published by The Open Bible Trust.
