As a people awaiting the return of our Savior, we are forever looking for signs of the closing events, rightly so, because the Scriptures say that we will be able to "see the day approaching." Our anticipation has-for the most part-been in vain. Time and again we have had our hopes dashed to pieces. A time will come when our excitement will be justified.An Overwhelming Surprise is a revelation of major current events that, when viewed in their entirety, paint a picture of what could be Satan's last effort to deceive the people of God, and bring in the long expected global Sabbath laws. An "overwhelming surprise," a "snare"-these are the words inspired by God to describe how the final crisis will be seen by "all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth" (Luke 21:35).The surprise begins now, as you see for the first time how Satan has been working undercover to arrange things to accomplish his work. The ground work is in place, the support is there, very little remains before the trap is sprung on an unprepared church, and unsuspecting world."For those who want to be enlightened and prepared for the second coming of Jesus, [An Overwhelming Surprise] is a must read." -Pastor Charles F. Hindman

As we draw closer to the second coming of Christ, the line between good and evil becomes blurred as evil masquerades as good, disguised in popular entertainment, communication and innocent pleasures. Since the early days of witchcraft, modern spiritualism now offers lighter options including so-called harmless psychics, Wicca organizations and the ever-famous Magic-8 ball and Ouija board. Spiritualism offers power, knowledge, reuniting with deceased loved ones and the thrill of the unknown. It has offered hope to those in despair and strength to the weak. But the questions we must ask are - has it any of these promises? Are we being decieved or are we selling stock options in our soul to the Prince of Darkness himself? In the Bible we find the solemn warning that in the last days, evil influences will be let loose upon the world; false pretensions will be urged upon the midst of men, and deceptions, based up by preternatural sugns and wonders, will develop to such a degree of strength, that if it were possible, they would deceive the very elect. Is it possible that Spiritualism may be the very development of evil, against which this warning is directed?

The family in this story needed to move from Boise, Idaho, to Boulder, Colorado. They had four horses and a wagon, for which they made a canvas cover. Because they felt it would be safer not to travel on the road that automobiles used, they traveled the same wagon route that the pioneers had used about seventy-five years before. The pioneers were traveling west on what was called the Oregon Trail. This family was using the same path to travel the opposite direction. Along the way they met cowboys, sheep herders, cattlemen, and farmers who made the trip interesting for the children. Their horses pulled the wagon over the rough and rutted road that had not been good to start with and was now worn down by many years of use with no road crews keeping it in repair. What should they do when they found a washed out bridge? What did the children find to do on this l-o-n-g camping trip? Would their family reach Colorado before the winter's storm made travel by wagon impossible?

In the summer of 1943, while a U. S. Army sergeant stationed in Hamadan, Iran, Ed Davis became friends with some local Kurd tribesman (or Lourd, in Davis's original account), who told him of Noah's ark on Mount Ararat. The ark and items from it were considered holy relics, generally kept from outsiders, but the patriarch's friendship with Davis made him an exception. They showed him items from the ark, including a cage door, latches, and shepherd staffs. All the wooden items were described as petrified. Tribal leader Abas-Abas and seven of his sons led Davis up the northeast side of Ararat, but bad weather prevented getting closer than half a mile to the ark. But Davis did see it; it was broken into three or four pieces, of which Davis saw two; the nearer had at least three floors. Abas-Abas supplied other details. The living space for people is at the top; the ark's door was hinged at the top; construction was done with wooden pegs.
