Satan Smiles

In 1980, the author of this book became interested in Bible prophecy. While working on an MBA, he authored an incipient crisis paper concerning Israel and the Middle East. In doing research, reading the Bible, and having read books published by Tim LaHaye, Chuck Smith, and Hal Lindsay, to mention a few, the paper was completed successfully. It was this assignment that perked this author's interest in Bible prophecy, but after completing his MBA, events of the world, marriage, and kids became an obstacle to further research.

During the pandemic lockdown of COVID-19 in 2020, this author suddenly had plenty of time and a renewed interest in Bible prophecy. In a telephone conversation with a pastor friend, Clyde Wasdin, the author asked if he knew of any good Bible study courses available on the internet. Pastor Wasdin recommended a course of study offered by Endtime Ministries, Pastor Irvin Baxter. This author contacted Endtime Ministries and enrolled in their Jerusalem Prophecy College course. The course of study consisted of eleven semesters, each containing approximately eleven to eighteen hours of online videos with a quiz at the end of each video, a midterm exam halfway through the videos for each semester of study, and a final exam at the end of each semester. With nothing to do during the pandemic, this author completed and graduated from the course.  

Reenergized from the studies and the insights Pastor Irvin Baxter brought into the curriculum, God spoke to this author’s heart to write this book. So, the author contacted Endtime Ministries in October 2020 and received permission to use the information provided in their videos. I pray that those who read this manuscript are energized and allow God to work through them.

The author was educated in the USA, with an MBA from San Jose State University, post-graduate education equaling an additional 5 years, and 15 years of missionary work in the Philippines. Published over 30 books.
