How we understand and interpret prophecy ultimately determines how we interpret the rest of the Bible—even how we understand God. Unfortunately, all the currently accepted outlines of how the end-times are portrayed in the Bible contain contradictions. The two major groups—Amillennialism (who reject the theory that Jesus Christ will have a literal, thousand-year-long, physical reign on the earth) and Premillennialism (who believe Jesus Christ will literally and physically return to the earth after taking the Christian believers up to heaven)—each have strong arguments. While the Premillennial view appears to have the most validity, it also has many contradictions mainly rooted in the assumption of a seven-year yet future tribulation before the second coming. The Donkey Speaks Again will help the reader finally understand Bible prophecies and the way the Bible lays them out for us. Key Bible words and phrases are interpreted to allow the reader to overlap singular events depicted within the two separate visions of end-times events (given to Jews in the Old Testament and the Christians in the New Testament) confidently as occurring together on the prophecy timeline. When faced with these truths, the reader will be forced to change the way they understand God, the Bible, and definitely some long-held, but never questioned beliefs.

“Oh blessed perseverance of the donkey that turns the waterwheel! Always the same pace. Always around the same circle. One day after another, every day the same. Without that, there would be no ripeness in the fruit, nor blossom in the orchard, nor scent of flowers in the garden.” (The Way, #998) If you really wish to understand the lay spirituality behind Opus Dei, there's no better way than to read stories about its founder, St Josemaria Escriva. And there are few more brief, entertaining, and insightful stories than “The Donkey At The Waterwheel” by Malcolm M. Kennedy. The Donkey At The Waterwheel is the text of an address by Malcolm Kennedy to the Fires of Hope Colloquium on 20th Century Spiritual Authors held at the Dominican House of Studies in Washington, D.C. on March 1, 1986. It is as relevant today as when it was written in 1986.
