Philip Mauro

In the 1800s, the German Critical Method Schools of the day created a vastly different perspective of Biblical prophecy as related in the Bible. From their perspective, the people of Israel no longer mattered as prophecy was already fulfilled with the destruction of the 2nd temple by the Romans. This perspective continued with Mr. Mauro's views on the Book of Daniel & the Mt Olivet Discourse. Unfortunately, Mr. Mauro's claims of insisting that readers follow what Scripture says is contradicted by his "pick & choose" method of defending an already indefensible narrative. His narrative is so "essential" that he ignores Scripture that patently contradicts everything he states. His explanation of the "Abomination of Desolation" reference is remarkably laughable when he suggests that the Roman army is the "Abomination of Desolation." His persistent anti-Semitic and anti-Catholic rants reduces this work to a sad irrelevance & demonstrates a dishonest & disingenuous to claim "credibility" where it is unwarranted. Let us simply say that the claims Mr. Mauro makes is breathtaking to behold & requires imaginative stretches that crashes & burns. His last revision was in 1943 & insisted even then that Israel would never be a nation. Israel is a nation & his book is rendered irrelevant.… (meer)
