The title, Come Thou Reign Over Us, is taken from the parable of the trees in Judges 9:8-15 in which the bramble (thorn) is invited to become king of the trees. The symbolism of the Judges passage is that of Israel rejecting God as their King and accepting an impostor (the thorn). The theme of the book begins with Noah and his sons; Shem, Ham, and Japheth whose physical, mental, and spiritual traits would be transferred to all future generations after the great flood of Genesis 9. From the prophecy of Noah in Genesis 9 the book traces the influence of the descendants of each of Noah's sons in subsequent biblical history. The "thorn" motif is traced through the Bible and concludes that Satan's success in his subversion of God's plan for mankind was tied to the susceptibility of Noah's three sons and their descendants to his particular methods of attack.

<p>The title, Collision Course, refers to a battle in Daniel 8:6-7 in the final years of our present civilization. The Ram, a symbol of Persia (Iran), is destroyed by the Goat, symbolic of western nations descended from Javan, (grandson of Noah) in a great battle. The Goat, weakened by the battle, collapses. In its place four world powers called "the notable ones" fill the vacuum of power, dividing the world among themselves. From one of these four powers arises a little horn, symbolic of the Antichrist. When he has gained sufficient influence and authority, he will rule the whole world, establishing his capital in Jerusalem. Both the Antichrist and his entire system will be destroyed by the second coming of Jesus Christ to establish a righteous kingdom on earth.</p>
