The Time Is Near
Ian Foley, PhD — pastor, physicist, and student of prophecy — traces a single unbroken thread from Daniel's Babylon to John's Revelation, and asks what it means for the church today.
About the author
A scientist's path into prophecy
Two careers, one conviction: that Scripture rewards patient, exacting study.
Ian Foley, PhD
Dr Ian Foley was the senior pastor and is now an Honorary Pastor of Hope Christian Church, Melbourne — a multi-site church of several hundred people belonging to Hope International Ministries. Before entering pastoral ministry, he built an academic career in physics and computer science, earning his doctorate at the University of Melbourne.
That training shows in his writing: The Time Is Near approaches the whole Bible but especially Daniel and Revelation the way a researcher approaches a long-unsolved problem — testing assumptions, following the text closely, and being willing to challenge interpretations that have gone unquestioned for generations. The result is a two-volume study that integrates the whole Bible but especially Daniel and Revelation into a single, unified, connected prophecy of God's plan from the Jewish exile to the end of the age and beyond.
