Terry’s Book Review of Pre-Rapture Reconnaissance :: By Joe Hawkins

Book review by Terry James

I most heartily recommend this short but powerfully written guide to living the Christian life in this time so near Christ’s Call to the Church.

Pre-Rapture Reconnaissance is a high-impact field manual for Christians navigating the turbulence of the last days. Written with the urgency of a military intelligence briefing, the book equips believers to recognize the enemy’s tactics and stand their ground in a world increasingly hostile to biblical truth.

Drawing from Scripture, Joe frames end-time prophecy in terms of spiritual reconnaissance—the disciplined act of gathering intelligence before battle. Just as soldiers rely on scouts to assess terrain and identify threats, Christians are called to be both Watchers (discerning the signs of the times) and Warriors (actively engaged in spiritual battle). This dual role sets the tone for the entire work: vigilance and preparedness, not fear and retreat.

The book is organized into seven Prophetic Hot Zones, each serving as a critical front on the battlefield of the last days. These include Apostasy, Moral Decay, Global Disasters & Wars, Persecution, Beast System, Deception, and Israel. Within each zone, Joe identifies the enemy’s infiltration—whether through false teachers, lawlessness, technocracy, or rising antisemitism—and ties these trends to clear prophetic warnings from Scripture.

What sets Pre-Rapture Reconnaissance apart is its tactical clarity. Scripture is treated as intelligence reports directly from Headquarters, revealing both the enemy’s strategies and God’s battle plan for His people. Modern threats such as progressive Christianity, digital surveillance, and globalist agendas are examined through the lens of biblical prophecy, showing how the ground is being prepared for the coming Antichrist.

Yet, the tone is not despairing but mobilizing. Each section calls the reader to hold the line, test every spirit, and remain anchored in God’s Word. The book insists that prophecy is not meant to paralyze but to prepare. It issues a wake-up call for Christians to guard their doctrine, live in holiness, proclaim the Gospel boldly, and endure persecution with the confidence that victory is already secured in Christ.

Pre-Rapture Reconnaissance functions as a spiritual intelligence briefing for believers who sense the lateness of the hour. Urgent, biblical, and unapologetically direct, it is both a map of the enemy’s tactics and a rallying cry for the faithful to remain watchful until the trumpet sounds.

The reader will devour with great enthusiasm and encouragement this brief but powerful manual as an indispensable aid to the study of God’s Holy Word. –Thus as together we keep looking up in anticipation of Christ’s Call! (Luke 21:28)
