The Prolonged Struggle of Supernatural Forces for Creation’s Loyalty as Revealed In—
Vol. V.— The Christian Era Until Victory is Unanimously Achieved — The Great Controversy.
Heritage Edition—Some 125 Century-Old Illustrations, 558 pages.
This volume is a portrayal of the history and future of the Christian Church from the destruction of ancient Jerusalem in A.D. 70 until the establishment of the New Jerusalem as God’s eternal capital of the universe on this earth restored, with emphasis upon the end-time prophecies of Daniel and the Revelation. A clear description is provided of the over-arching great controversy between Christ and Satan, which began in heaven but is presently battling over the souls of mankind and will be brought to an end here on this earth.
