Current Events in the Light of the Bible
Overview
The Bible, as a book of prophecy, says something about both the present and the future—it predicts universal apostasy, mired social and political conditions, increased unrighteousness, wars and rumors of wars. Gabelein’s keen eye for biblical prophecy and full awareness of current social and political strife make him well-positioned to comment on current events in the light of the Bible. He argues that the study of the end times strengthens the conviction of Christ’s imminent return, and inspires the church to persevere in spite of ominous world events. Current Events in the Light of the Bible covers political events, religious apostasy, modern delusions, social conditions, Zionism, and new discoveries; and helpfully connects biblical prophecy to the contemporary world.

Arno Gaebelein (1861–1945) is considered one of America’s truly great Bible teachers. His editorship of the unique Bible study magazine, Our Hope, and his authorship of scores of volumes gave him an international reputation.
He influenced many during his ministry over the last fifty years in many parts of the United States and Canada. A pioneer in the Bible conference movement, he was an original member of the editorial board that assisted Dr. C. I. Scofield in the preparation of the Scofield Reference Bible.
The Annotated Bible, published by Gaebelein, has been a standard reference work for most of a century. The Selected Words of A. C. Gaebelein includes thirteen valuable books and commentaries discuss the Bible’s relevance to world events.
