You have read the Bible and you know we win in the end, but what will happen between now and then? The Bible is much clearer than many people realize. Although the world system is collapsing, God is in control -- his plan is on schedule.

This book draws on Larry Fox's twenty years of Bible research and observation of world trends. It is an in-depth Bible study that develops a comprehensive view of the future, offering perspectives on religious, political, military, economic and cosmic changes. It shows how world events and scientific discoveries reinforce the Bible's message of the end times.

The Supernatural Natural can change the way you look at the world and the future. Be sure to read the final chapter!

Comments from Readers

"I enjoyed reading your book. There are many parallels to my view in your book, though I have been unwilling to be as detailed in interpretation as you. Most importantly, we share the view on the 7th trumpet pre-wrath rapture parallel to the Exodus through the sea. Also, the Passover-Exodus parallels are extraordinary." -- Dan Juster, senior minister of Beth Messiah Congregation (Gaithersburg, MD), speaker and author (Revelation: the Passover Key and Jewish Roots, a Foundation of Biblical Theology plus many others).

"You have obviously put a great deal of thought into this work. Your work demonstrates a tremendous amount of background research in several fields of knowledge. I have done extensive reading on this subject and have never seen this kind of material brought together in one place." -- JWR (CPA)

"I've never read a book that has had such an impact on myself and my Christian walk.... The evidence you present is so clear, precise and easy to understand! A real eye opener as to what we as Christians are about to face in the not too distant future. Every Christian should read this book, it's so enlightening and powerful! ... I feel stronger as a Christian for knowing what's ahead." -- DSB (college student)

"Larry's background as an engineer allows him a scientific perspective ... [and] his daily walk with God ... has given him a deep spiritual insight. This merging of scientific with spiritual results in a fantastic study of the Bible." -- WOC (Chemist)

"It was very clear [Larry] had spent much time in Bible study and research on this subject. He was well prepared to present his interpretation of the scriptures and always had scripture to back up everything he said. I now understand this subject much better and see many scriptures in a different light." -- EMS (retired)

"Larry has tied the events of recorded history, the studies of science and the truth of scripture together. Thank you, Larry, for all the time and energy spent in our behalf." -- AS (housewife)

Chapter Summaries

The following are brief chapter summaries from The Supernatural Natural.

1. Identifying the Day of the Lord

In this chapter, we examine scriptures that define the Day of the Lord and events that will precede it.

The Old and New Testaments give us several images of the empires affecting Israel: Egypt, Assyria, Babylon, Medo-Persia, Greece, Rome and an unidentified future empire (which I have called the Final Human Empire). We examine the likely origin of that empire and its leader, whom I call the Chairman. That empire will have worldwide military authority and will use its power against many nations, including Israel. It will also harass and kill Christians.

The United Nations Security Council seems preoccupied with Israel, a tiny country with a population of only five million. Security Council resolutions censure and condemn Israel repeatedly, at times for simply maintaining law and order within its borders. In this chapter, we compare the UN Charter and the Bible, and summarize of 45 years of events that have created ideal conditions for the birth and operation of the Final Human Empire. We examine the UN's demands on Israel and why Israel cannot comply.

America does not have a major role in the end times unless it is a significant part of the Final Human Empire. It probably will continue to exist as a nation, but it will not have the worldwide influence it has had since the Second World War. We develop a likely scenario for America's future.

Islam will continue to influence Arab and maybe Russian policies toward Israel. Islam is the Arabic religion and may be the most militant religion in the world. Muslims will not tolerate Israel's occupation of their holy places and what they consider their land. Another Arab assault on Israel seems inevitable.

The communistic Soviet Union became a commonwealth of socialistic republics, but this may reflect only a slight relaxing of policies. The chapter on the Beginning of Birth Pains examines some of Russia's future military ventures.

The first period of the last days is the Beginning of Birth Pains, which suggests that events during that interval will increase in severity and frequency until the Lord returns. It is possible the interval began with the rebirth of Israel in 1948. Scripture does not give a specific length for the interval. In this chapter, we examine the detailed descriptions of events that will characterize this period.

One of the worst problem areas the Final Human Empire will address is the Middle East and Israel will be considered the source of the trouble. The Chairman will send the coalition forces in his command to crush Israel because of its persistent disregard for the demands of the world community. Those Israelis who do not escape to the mountains will experience the most severe distress ever experienced by mankind; this is the Great Tribulation. Severe religious persecution began during the Beginning of Birth Pains and will continue throughout the world; Christians will not be immune.

There will be a disastrous cosmic disturbance between the Great Tribulation and the Day of the Lord. People around the world will be in anguish because of the danger, totally helpless and fainting from terror. There is plenty of biblical and historical evidence that such events have happened in the past, resulting in widespread destruction and loss of life.

A major cosmic disturbance marks the beginning of the Day of the Lord. A short time later, the Lord appears in the sky to gather the Church and the world mourns. God then pours his wrath out on the earth.

This chapter summarizes the events of the end times, as developed in the previous chapters.

If we become preoccupied with end-time events, we very naturally become concerned for our safety and well-being. But will those times be any harder for us? Maybe not. We must expect and depend on Jesus' involvement in our lives. Anticipate his will being accomplished, his limitation of Satan, his daily care, his strength, his call to deny yourself, and his return.
