Cyber Meltdown: Bible Prophecy and the Imminent Threat of Cyberterrorism

by Ron Rhodes

Overview

Respected Bible scholar Ron Rhodes, author of The Coming Oil Storm, addresses another timely issue with integrity in this exploration of how over-dependence on technology puts the nation at risk for cyberattacks and sets the stage for the end times.

With up-to-date information, Rhodes prepares readers for the possibility of technology-based warfare and helps them view it in a biblical context as he addresses the following hot topics:

• what Christians need to know about cybercontrol and the Antichrist
• what technology and security experts have to say about the risks
• the validity of the threat of cyberterrorism
• what a cyberattack against the U.S. would look like
• the possible role of cyberattacks in end-time wars

Both captivating and helpful, this compelling resource provides the truth behind the technology and its likely role in God’s plan for the future.
