Additional The End of Days: Armageddon and Prophecies of the Return (The Earth Chronicles) Information

Why is it that our current twenty-first century A.D. is so similar to the twenty-first century B.C.?
Is history destined to repeat itself? Will biblical prophecies come true, and if so, when?

It has been more than three decades since Zecharia Sitchin's trailblazing book The 12th Planet brought to life the Sumerian civilization and its record of the Anunnaki—the extraterrestrials who fashioned man and gave mankind civilization and religion. In this new volume, Sitchin shows that the End is anchored in the events of the Beginning, and once you learn of this Beginning, it is possible to foretell the Future.

In The End of Days, a masterwork that required thirty years of additional research, Sitchin presents compelling new evidence that the Past is the Future—that mankind and its planet Earth are subject to a predetermined cyclical Celestial Time.

In an age when religious fanaticism and a clash of civilizations raise the specter of a nuclear Armageddon, Zecharia Sitchin shatters perceptions and uses history to reveal what is to come at The End of Days.

What Customers Say About The End of Days: Armageddon and Prophecies of the Return (The Earth Chronicles):

I have read many of Sitchin's books and was expecting to encounter some new perspective but unfortunately I have put the book down after only reading about half. Maybe I will pick it up again and read the other half but you hate to just go over territory that has been written time and again without any new insight. It is another re-hash of all the things he has documented in the past, sort of summary form. I expected some real conclusions and new info but at least in the first half of the book I did not find them. I was rather disappointed. If you have never read any of the other books, then it is a rather good summary of past research.

What is most annoying is the total inability of myself and any but the most learned, insightful, privileged and well-traveled scholar to refute Sitchen's interpretation of ancient artifacts. The 12th Planet, his first book in this vein, was impressive; I ordered all the rest his books then available. Being an avid prophecy student myself, I have read most if not all of Zecharia Sitchin's books, ending with his 2006 contribution, The End of Days. He mentions in passing Yahweh, the God of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and all Christianity; but fails to even link this known god to the panoply of gods from another planet in which he asks us to believe. As I read them in the order Sitchin prescribed, I found them equally scholarly, somewhat repetitive (not a criticism, as his theory is hard to follow), but increasingly confusing, and moreover, distressing; I didn't read them all, they were so upsetting. Even with this last book there is no satisfactory conclusion; certainly more contorted questions raised than contorted answers provided, and I find a growing sense of self-directed cultism in looking to this writer to provide reliable answers or even hope for the future based on Sitchin's presentations. He quotes selectively from Daniel, but fails by omission of the "stone cut without hands" prophecy concerning the end of days, to make the obvious connection to the return of the 12th planet, Nibiru, about which nothing would be known but for Sitchin. For myself, I'll stick to inspired biblical prophecy and the God I know.

In this final book, What a huge disappointment it was. I have to wonder why they would go with a new book binder on the last book. As of all of Sitchin's Books, it is wonderful and well researched, but my lack of a fifth star has to do with the Hard Cover Edition. The book looks like it belongs to a completely different collection. People buy the Hard cover edition because they like the series so much they want a "collector's edition". The previous books were well bound and looked sharp with the unique gold leaf image on the face of each book. The spine and cover are different colors, no accompanied image on the cover, (just the book binders personal symbol, which makes it look that much more cheap). Again, content great, but Very disappointed with The book binder and the person in charge of making such a poor choice for the final book of an otherwise wonderful collection.

I have thoroughly enjoyed this book as it is a must read for anyone who is concerned about the future.

Although I did not wish for the immediate End of Days while plowing through this book, I did fervently wish for the Day I reached the End of This Book, particularly since I don't know how much of it related to the End Times, a topic covered pretty much in the last 4 of its 16 chapters, and inconclusively at that. The fact that the gods were angered and disappointed with Mankind, hence left, doesn't hold much heft, since Mr Sitchin has pretty well established that the gods were angered and disappointed almost constantly after biologically engineering the race. I've read, re-read, and enjoyed Book 1: The 12th Planet, as well as most of the other Earth Chronicle series, but this one was a chore. Most disappointing is that two critical issues are not really addressed: why did the Annunaki leave and why would they want to return. And, why they would want to return to deal with a race of beings which, like California, proved ungovernable seems to be beyond explanation. I think Mr Sitchin had an excellent essay (the last 4 chapters) and got talked into padding it and turning it into a book.
