About This Book
Darter first develops a timeline for events, starting with September 16, 1936; the day Germany officially invaded Poland. Interesting since the book was published a year and a half prior. He then further explains the timeline of the Great Pyramid and how the chronology corresponds with the events pertaining to the restoration.
He speculates on who the "One Mighty and Strong" might be. In later publications he identifies him as "an Indian prophet in Yucatan who had been ordained by Lorin C. Woolley and that he and his followers would wrest control of the LDS Church and put it in order."
Darter attempts, correctly, to identify the "the Days of Tribulations," beginning in earnest, with the great depression culminating with WWII and downhill from there; but that's in Darter's future and a digression.

Included is the obligatory-for-any-doomsayer, "Book of Daniel", and also "The Angel of the Prairies" revelation by Parley P. Pratt, and the somewhat disputed, "Washington's Vision".
It is interesting to read the worldview of a turn of the century LDS man who was very well educated in the eclectic LDS collection of literature developing at the time.
We should be aware that Darter was eventually excommunicated from the LDS church over several disagreements with the church leadership where he felt that they had abandoned the faith. Apostasy is a tricky thing depending on one's viewpoint.
I'd recommend this book because it is very entertaining and thought provoking. It has some cool stuff in it, wild speculations, lots of fire-and-brimstone condemnations, and interesting self-revelations. It is accurate in describing what 21st Century America is devolving into, but any student of civilization could tell you the same thing.
