Review: Book 3 of an end times trilogy

This last book of the trilogy left me a little wanting in whether it was following scripture. Although the author explains his reasons for his views at the end of the book I have a hard time understanding some important truths that are either different or are left out. This book deals with the last 3 1/2 years of the tribulation, the wrath of God, the battle of Armegedan and the Millennium. I always believed the last 3 1/2 years to be the worse time (other then the wrath of God at the end) but it seems that this period is just breezed through not giving much tribulation at all. Many of the Jews did go to Petra to escape the taking of the number in their hand or forehead but it didn't seem all that bad of a time.Armegedan was a very intense battle as it should be but I thought the fighting was going back to old times of horseback and hand to hand combat. Here they had tanks, planes, bombs, atomic bombs and such. Other then that it seemed to follow scripture quite well.The Millennium had me scratching my head. When the animals reappeared on the war torn earth, they included dinosaurs, woolly mammoths and such as we have not seen since the ice age. I know there is peace on the earth with Satan being locked up for a thousand years and the lamb and lion will lay together but I am not too sure about dinosaurs. I think the one thing that disturbed me the most is the Great White Throne of Judgement. The author said they saw two thrones, one with the father and on His right side another throne for the son. The scripture clearly says there is one throne and one that sits on the throne, Jesus Christ. When the Bible says that Jesus sits on the right hand of God it is referring to the Old Testament where the right hand is symbolic of God's power. Jesus has all power in heaven and earth. It is not speaking of a physical place at all.Also I get tired of hearing that to be saved all you need to do is believe on Jesus Christ and you will be saved. What happened to death, burial and the resurrection. Jesus said we must be "born again" of the water and the spirit or we cannot enter into the kingdom of God. You have to read all the scriptures not just one. Obviously you need to believe on Jesus Christ to repent and be baptized by immersion (death, burial and resurrection). Most Christian books say the same thing and it saddens me because people are being misled by not receiving the whole Gospel but just a small part. I didn't mean to get "preachy" but these are important facts for me.
