  Only a few people would invest in the truth. Alot of people would rather invest in lies than to hear the truth. This book will open up your understanding and your spiritual eyes to the truth. It will let you dig deeper into the word which was inspired by the holy spirit. Alot of people lack spiritual d

  I can't try to summarize the book via this review, the topic is too large. Mystery of Iniquity is for ANYONE that accepts the whole Bible as truth, and would like to take a fresh look at it, at face value. Mystery of Iniquity is a fresh examination of the End Times topic and is about much more than just the "rapture" issue. It's a frank, Bible-based, and overdue look at the nature of the God of the Hebrews and His Son -- what he expects of his children, and how they should go about conducting their lives ESPECIALLY IN THESE END TIMES. Ironically, this is accomplished by going back and examining our Hebrew roots, and church history. This was one of the first of the books in the current Messianic movement (a move toward following the Jewish Messiah, Yahshua, in a manner consistent with what he taught and how he lived, directly modeling obedience to God's law).
  
  I reiterate that the book is Bible-based . . . the whole Bible. It is specifically NOT based on the manufactured doctrine of any religious denomination (thus, a "fresh look"). Rood's book was powerful enough to talk me out of my 45 year old traditional "pre-trib rapturist" position. Not a change to be easily made (except with God's leading??). Maybe part of a general movement among God's people in these times, as Rood alludes to.
  
  I believe Rood is right on target. I also note that his eschatological teaching is quite similar to the position of author Marvin Rosenthal, as explained in his excellent "The Pre-Wrath Rapture of the Church" (which I also recommend as some non-denominational Bible-based original thinking).
  
  The Mystery of Iniquity, a term lifted directly from the New Testament, is revealed as the distorted teachings of the organized church religious system. Read and evaluate it for yourself. By all means, read it. Truly, my life changed. Reading this along with some writings by other authors of like mind, a renewed study of the Bible, and even travel to Israel, I ultimately chose to resign from the mainstream church system and "follow Him". It has been revolutionary and spiritually fulfilling. I will add that I don't agree 100% with everything that Michael Rood has taught. That's OK. I can think for myself now. And I credit Rood for some of that.
  
  Sounds scary, but needn't be. No courage required. One need only the willingness to examine the scriptures outside of the artificial box in which they function. This is not a cultic movement, but rather a return toward pure Biblical truth. The truth which Jesus/Yahshua taught and lived. Rood's Mystery of Iniquity is not a bad guidebook with which to begin your quest. A powerful book.

  I rarely underline/highlight the books I read, mainly Non-Fiction, and have quite a library myself thanks to working as a used book dealer. Many sit on my shelves going unread...(so many books, so little time)...this book is the exception. I've hi-lighted my favorite parts that i want to read and re-read, to let it sink in. I only mark in books I plan on getting more copies of, to give away/loan to friends and family. I've read escatalogical books since I was 10 or so, and few books have impacted me like The Mystery of Iniquity. Upon reading this book I was blown away/thrown for a loop. Aside from the Holy Bible, it's one of the best I've ever read! Get several copies!!! Nuff said.

  I can but agree with most of the reviewers here.
  Ultimately, if Michael Rood is wrong in his interpretation about the Rapture, and the Rapture occurs either pre or mid-tribulation, then true Christian believers have nothing to lose. If the author is right however,and the Rapture occurs towards the end of the Tribulation, then Christians everywhere owe it to themselves to have been made aware of his interpretation.
  
  Some of what the author covers in relation to Biblical prophecy and it's interpretation to date has bothered me previously. His coverage of such clarifies a number of matters for me personally.
  
  I can only recommend this book to ALL scholars and Christians who are seeking the truth surrounding Biblical Prophecy, the Rapture and the return of Our Lord Jesus. We must all be accountable to search the Scriptures ourselves whilst seeking prayerful insight to the truth.
  
  I would hate not to have read this book. Being prepared, in full possession of the facts so that we are not going to be deceived in that day is essential. If you read this book and disagree with the message and interpretation, then that is a matter for the individual. But we do really owe it to ourselves to be aware of what the author is saying here.
