If the history of the world were a journey, where would we be? In his book, When the Conflict Ends, What Then? author Carl H. Waters uses the map of Scripture, with its histories and prophecies, to take the reader on a journey through time, beginning with the Creation and the expulsion of Adam and Eve from the garden and ending with the final conflict between good and evil before Christ returns.
Waters traces the distortion of God's character through paganism's amalgamation with true faith. He highlights the role of faith's defenders, who have arisen throughout history to share the truth of God's love and mercy. He emphasizes God's law, which sustains and governs all things living, and God's sovereignty in the universe and His unwillingness to force anyone to comply with His will. Additionally, he lays out principles for interpreting prophecy and finds symbolism in the Old Testament sanctuary to help the reader understand God's plan to rescue all who are willing. When the Conflict Ends, What Then? shows readers the "X" on the map of human history as we head toward the resolution of the final conflict, which says, "YOU ARE HERE!"
"Rich in historical detail, Waters shows how the Old Testament finds its fulfillment in the New Testament, and how that fulfillment applies to us today in how we are to worship and come into the presence of God." ~ ~ Conrad Vine, Pastor, and President of Adventist Frontier Missions "This book offers explanations to the often-common questions and misunderstandings of a Sovereign God interacting with humanity prior to and after free moral agents were subject to the curse of sin. For bible scholars, students, teachers, pastors, or avid historians, this read is a wonderful addition to your library." ~ Gary James, Executive Director of Renewed Hearts Inc.
