However, the treatment has often been either apologetic or expository in nature, which has left prophetic themes to be developed individually apart from their relation to the whole revealed prophetic program.
Thus, much of our knowledge has remained only fragmentary and unrelated. Dwight Pentecost's monumental work, Things to Come , has changed this situation dramatically. In this detailed and highly successful study, Dr.
Pentecost has synthesized the whole field of prophecy into a unified biblical exposition, arriving at a systematic and complete biblical eschatology.

There is so much Scripture to be considered, the language used is so often figurative, and the questions involved are so far-reaching in their implications, that it can be tempting to shelve the study of prophecy in favor of other subjects. That these difficulties exist cannot be denied, but our response should not be to abandon our efforts to understand what God has told us. Rather, we should seek His help to understand His revelation, and we should make use of every help that He, through His servants, has provided for us.
It is not the most readable of books and no one would ever describe it as a gripping, page-turner. But for the student of Scripture who is serious about understanding the prophetic word, this comprehensive survey of Biblical prophecy is an invaluable tool. Pentecost covers an enormous amount of material in a systematic and logical progression. As he encounters areas that have been the object of controversy, he outlines the different viewpoints that have been taken, and presents a clear defense of his preferred understanding.
This seldom makes for enthralling prose, but it allows the reader to arrive at a much more informed understanding of prophetic questions. Inevitably, given the scale of this book and the range of issues it covers, not everyone will agree with Pentecost on every issue.
But, in many ways, that is the point of the book. In general, Pentecost is a judicious scholar and a reliable guide, and his work provides an overview of prophecy that gives the Bible student an excellent basis which he or she can then develop in his own study of Scripture. Things to Come was originally written as a doctoral thesis, and it betrays its origins in its layout and its prose.
The subdivision of the material into sections, sub-sections, and sub-sub-sections also makes it a bit more of a challenge to engage with this book.
