This archaeological detective story attempts to reveal the true meaning of the prophecies of the Old and New Testaments. The prophets of the ancient world, in their search for a calendar upon which to inscribe the dates of events far in the future, looked to the skies. The revolution of the stars and the progression of the constellations of the zodiac were an accurate and lasting means of measuring the passage of time. The astrologically-aligned monuments - such as the pyramids - were placed to record the progress of the years, counting down to the end of an age. The constellation of Orion, the figure of man set in stars, has now arrived at its northernmost point. At the same time, the summer-solstice sun is due to cross the eastern and western sky exactly over the pyramid of Khafre. Could this be the "Sign of the Son of Man" described in the Book of Revelation as marking the beginning of the Apocalypse?

From the Back Cover:
In this riveting archaeological detective story, bestselling author Adrian Gilbert reveals the true meaning of the prophecies of the Old and New Testaments, prophecies that have an enormous significance for our own age.

The prophets of an ancient world, in their search for a fixed calendar on which to inscribe the dates of events far into the future, looked to the skies. In a world before electric light, the revolution of the stars and progression of the constellations of the zodiac were an accurate and lasting means of measuring the passage of time. The astrologically aligned monuments - such as the pyramids - were placed to record the progress of the years, counting down to the end of an age.

The constellation of Orion, the figure of Man set in stars, has now arrived at its northernmost point - a journey that has taken nearly 13,000 years. At the same time, the summer-solstice sun, in the hand of Orion, is due to cross the eastern and western sky exactly over the Khafre pyramid. The belt of Orion is now rising over the Mount of Olives in Jerusalem; and on either side of the Orion constellation will be visible the seven planets of the ancients - the seven angels of prophecy. Could this be the Sign of the Son of Man in Heaven, described in the Book of Revelation as marking the beginning of the Apocalypse? It will not be long before we find out.
