Authors Pate and Hays believe in biblical prophecy, but they also know it's crucial to distinguish correct interpretations of prophecy from incorrect ones. Iraq -- Babylon of the End-Times? provides a sensible approach to examining current events in the Middle East in light of biblical prophecy and geopolitical history. Iraq -- Babylon of the End-Times? is a healthy and hopeful corrective to looming end-times misconceptions. It is also a reminder that Christians are part of the universal church, whose message is one of hope for all the nations of the world. Book jacket.
Hays and Pate have brought Revelation back to reality. They have taken a practical theological approach tom interpreting Revelation in light of historical and present day events. When others are looking to attach Babylon to whatever present day threat or power that comes along, Hays and Pate helps us to read the book in the light in which it belongs: the first century Biblical worldview.

Having taken classes from these two professors, it's not surprising that they would write such a great book. Their humor and dislike for unbiblical prophecy writers (not theologians) like Lindsey and LaHaye are very rare and comforting. It is not very often that someone would take on a big author like LaHaye, but they point out the outlandish, ridiculous, and almost heretical views of LaHaye and Lindsey. Very good to read such an awesome book from professors I grew to love and respect over 4 years.
Excellent!!!

FINALLY! A true and honest look at what the bible says concerning the end times! The authors do a wonderful job of dismissing myths about the need for Babylon to be rebuilt. My favorite chapter was chapter 5 in which they gave valid proof to disbelieve that Russia will ever attack Israel. Excellent. I would recommend this to everyone.
