A Review of Dr. Grant Jeffrey’s book “The Next World War”

Dr. Grant Jeffrey’s book “The Next World War” focuses on the interpretation of biblical prophecies in the context of modern geopolitical events. The major subjects of the book discusses biblical prophecy and current events, rise of globalism, technological advancements, the role of Israel, the coming war,  and spiritual warfare. Jeffrey argues that many of the prophecies described in the Bible, particularly in the books of Daniel and Revelation, are being fulfilled in current events. He links these prophecies to specific modern-day happenings, suggesting that they are indicators of the approaching end times. The book discusses the rise of globalism as a fulfillment of prophecy, suggesting that a global political and economic system is a precursor to the emergence of the Antichrist and the end of days. Jeffrey points to various international organizations and agreements as evidence of this trend. Jeffrey explores how modern technological advancements, such as the internet, surveillance technology, and the development of microchip technology, could potentially be used in the future for greater control over populations, as prophesied in the Bible. A significant portion of the book is dedicated to the role of Israel in the last days. Jeffrey argues that the establishment of Israel in 1948 and its subsequent developments are in fulfillment of biblical prophecies. He discusses potential future conflicts involving Israel, particularly with its neighboring countries. Central to Jeffrey’s thesis is the prediction of an imminent major war, which he describes as the “Next World War.” He speculates that this war will be primarily centered in the Middle East and involve nuclear weapons. This war, according to Jeffrey, will lead to dramatic changes globally and set the stage for end-time events as described in the Bible. The book also touches on the concept of spiritual warfare, emphasizing the battle between good and evil, both in the spiritual realm and its manifestations in the physical world. Dr. Grant Jeffrey uses a combination of biblical text interpretation, analysis of current geopolitical trends, and speculation about future developments to make his arguments. His approach is typical of a particular strand of Christian eschatology that seeks to understand contemporary world events through the lens of biblical prophecy.
