Shadow of Things to Come Very Soon

By William Kelly

This book was written to teach Christians to understand the foundations of the book of Revelation to see how it is put together by using the Old Testament as a shadow of the new. In the Old Testament, we are taught about the harvest of grains, barley, wheat, and grapes; and in the new, we are taught about the harvest of souls. The souls are the Christians, Israel, and Gentiles. Each harvest has three parts-firstfruits, main harvest, and gleanings. This is the same for grains and souls.Christ is the second Adam. This means we can look at Adam as a shadow of Christ. Christians are part of the body of Christ, as God took a rib from Adam next to his heart. God will take the firstfruits from the body of Christ, the church, in the first rapture. Then he will take the main harvest, the body of Christ, in the second rapture.Bible Reference Joel 2:16.

Born in Ireland 1950, I left home in 1966 to go to sea for fourteen years and then transferred to the oil and gas industry. The past 32 years has led me to onshore and offshore energy installations all over the world, UK waters, Shetland, Middle East and the South China seas. I am happily married with two children, now grown up and both working in the oil and gas industry. My interests run to Rugby as an amateur player over 27 years, flying, sailing and writing. For the past 11 years my wife and I have been living on our sailing yacht 'Grey Glider' in the Mediterranean travelling through Spain, Italy, Greece and Turkey where the yacht is now based. At one point I owned a six seat twin engine plane and qualified as a multi-engine pilot and qualified to fly on instruments. I took up writing after being less than impressed and frankly disappointed with books bought in airports. I like to include some humour in my writing and prefer adventure thriller story lines. My work and my travels have provided wide and varied access to some remarkable and interesting places and situations. This has been one of the main sources for the ideas in my writing.Known to most as Ned Kelly after the famous Australian bush ranger.
