Biography
Dennis James Woods has studied eschatology for over 50 years. His fascination with end times prophecy began in 1976 while serving in the Navy aboard the U.S.S. England, after reading Hal Lindsey’s The Late Great Planet Earth.

In 1995, he further sharpened his eschatological skills by taking a Revelation course taught by renowned New Testament scholar Dr. D.A. Carson, at Trinity Evangelical Divinity School, Elmbrook Church, in Brookfield, Wisconsin. The reason for taking this course was to have his theories that challenged dispensationalism, evaluated by a renowned scholar. In 1996-97, he then corresponded with Dallas Theological Seminary giants Dr. John Walvoord and J. Dwight Pentecost with the expressed intent of challenging their work in support of the pretribulation rapture theory.
