This, the sixth presentation in the series, briefly and in overview, describes the prophetic timeline of God's plan of redemption. Turns out that God bases this timeline on Jewish history. The fact that Israel emerges as a nation after 2000 years of diaspora among the Gentiles figures prominently in my application of this timeline. Treat this short presentation as an introduction to the more substantive treatment of the subject in Presentation XVII.

something to do with spam prevention,
so . . . this is a filler designed to

5. The Bible traces the story of the
Jewish people from the time of
Abraham’s calling to their presence in
Eternity’s New Jerusalem.
That story has several elements of
interest to this study:
Purely historical narrative
Prophecy with historical fulfillment
Prophecy having current fulfillment
Prophecy yet to find fulfillment

6. Each element in the story of Israel
helps shape our understanding of Bible
prophecy in distinct ways:
The purely historical narrative provides
a guiding context to interpreting
embedded OT prophecy. It roots OT
prophecy in historical realities.
Prophecy historically fulfilled provides a
confidence boost and teaches us how to
properly interpret prophecy not yet
fulfilled.

7. Prophecy with current fulfillment
locates us on God’s timeline, whets our
enthusiasm for study and calls us to
spiritual attention.
Prophecy with future fulfillment finds us
standing a-tip-toe, peering forward while
we look back at patterns of fulfillments in
the past for interpretive guidance.

8. Get acquainted with the story of Israel
and its people from God’s perspective
and you . . .
Increase your confidence in the integrity
of God’s Word
We encounter fulfillment of the
historical prophecies
Prophecies surrounding and flowing
from Israel’s 1948 return to the land
appear in the process of fulfillment
before our eyes.

9. Know the prophecies attached to
Israel’s story and you have a secure and
continuous timeline upon which to place
the events of Revelation and the
prophecies of Paul and Jesus.
When we place God’s prophecies about
the Jews alongside His promises to them
and remember our God’s determination
to keep His Word, we discover the
means by which He will do precisely that!
