Fourth Edition

The third edition included a discussion of parallels with Hesiod and Gilgamesh. Also, it showed that partial retreats from the Maccabean thesis do not save it from failure.

These additions appear in the fourth edition as well. Moreover, it provides an extended argument that the Tribulation will be transitional between two dispensations, the Church Age and the Millennial Kingdom, and it explains why Scripture draws a parallel between the Antichrist and Nero, the Roman emperor.
