Prophecy provides insight into past, present, and future events according to God's will and plan. Prophecy is highly accurate, as shown through its fulfillment, such as the prophecies regarding Jesus's birth and death. Biblical prophecy falls into categories including pre-millennial, millennial, and post-millennial prophecies concerning the end times buildup to Christ's second coming, His 1,000 year reign on Earth, and eternity. The rebirth of Israel in 1948 and the Six-Day War of 1967 are the greatest fulfillments of prophecy since Christ, signifying the last generation has begun.

Is it possible that Jesus didn't exist? Of course, but that's not reasonable to believe considering the numerous early, independent, Christian and non-Christian sources which all make reference to Jesus of Nazareth. Yes, that's right —there are early, non-Christian sources that mention Jesus. In this presentation, I distinguish between possible and reasonable beliefs, and then introduce five early, non-Christian sources that reference facts about Jesus.
This document provides a summary of two passages from the Gospel of Matthew - the Genealogy of Jesus Christ (Matthew 1:1-17) and the Annunciation to Joseph (Matthew 1:18-25).
The summary of the Genealogy highlights three key aspects: 1) It includes both notable figures like kings, as well as unknown or unexpected people, showing God's grace is unpredictable. 2) It contains five women, including outsiders. 3) The inclusion of sinners and saints in Jesus' lineage reflects a God of grace rather than merit.
The summary of the Annunciation to Joseph notes that Joseph plans to divorce Mary after finding her pregnant, as they had not consummated the marriage
The document discusses the concept of an anti-Christ and provides examples of individuals and organizations that could be considered anti-Christs such as ISIS, President Obama, and the Pope. It also examines biblical prophecies and argues that Obama fulfills the characteristics of the anti-Christ described in the book of Revelation, such as coming as a rider on a white horse to conquer the world and forming an alliance with the false prophet. The document claims Obama helped create ISIS and has not seriously tried to stop their expansion in order to serve his own agenda.
During the period from 300-500 AD:
- Emperor Constantine legalized Christianity and convened the Council of Nicaea to address heresies like Arianism.
- Desert monks like Anthony and Pachomius established monastic communities for ascetic living.
- Scholars like Jerome translated the Bible into Latin with his Vulgate translation.
- Theologians like Augustine wrote influential works addressing issues like free will and interpreting the fall of Rome.
- By 500 AD, Christianity had become the dominant religion in the Roman Empire.

This document summarizes Christian martyrdom from the days of the Apostles to 1000 AD. It describes how early Christians faced intense persecution from the beginning, as many Apostles such as Stephen, James the Great, and Philip were martyred for their faith. It provides brief accounts of the martyrdom of each Apostle, including being stoned, crucified, burned, or beaten to death. The document establishes that despite facing persecution from the Roman Empire and others throughout the first thousand years, the Christian church endured and grew.
Jesus and Christian Apologetics. A class taught by John Oakes PhD 9/26/09, on question, Who is Jesus Christ and evidence that the real Jesus is the Jesus of the gospels. See the notes below and the attached Power Point.
What Evidences Do You Have That The Bible is the Word of GodPeter Hammond
The document discusses evidence that the Bible is the word of God. It provides 3 key pieces of evidence:
1) Prophecy - The Bible contains over 2000 specific prophecies that have been fulfilled, such as prophecies about Egypt no longer having Egyptian rulers and the destruction of Babylon.
2) Survival - No other book has faced such intense attacks to be destroyed yet over 24,000 manuscripts of the New Testament still exist today.
3) Archaeology - Archaeological discoveries like the Dead Sea Scrolls have confirmed the accuracy of the Bible manuscripts.
Zurich Files - Weapon Of Mass DestructionZurich Files
Zurich Files - Weapon Of Mass Destruction --/-- contraception, and the harmful effects of hormones re-entering the food chain --/-- The Pharaoh Show; eugenics, depopulation; Luciferian Secret Societies, Freemasons, masons, illuminati, mind-controlled slaves; the parasitic "interior enemy".
The document provides evidence for the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead through examining the testimony of skeptics who sought to disprove the resurrection but ended up converting to Christianity after thoroughly investigating the evidence. It describes how Frank Morison, Josh McDowell, Simon Greenleaf, and General Lew Wallace were all initially skeptical of the resurrection but became convinced of its historical accuracy based on their findings. The document also outlines some of the key facts that point to the resurrection, including the efforts taken by the religious and Roman authorities to secure Jesus' tomb and their inability to produce his body to disprove the resurrection claims.
Hildegard of Bingen experienced visions from a young age that she believed came directly from God. She saw all things through her five senses in the light of God. Prophecy is a process where messages communicated to a prophet are then shared with others. There have been many prophecies over 2000 years preparing for the Second Coming of Christ, including those of Nostradamus, Korean prophecies, and the Bible itself.
What About all the Hypocrites in the ChurchPeter Hammond
The document discusses how some use hypocrisy in the church as an excuse to reject Christianity. It notes that while hypocrites exist, Christianity and the Bible strongly condemn hypocrisy. It argues that one should not let the sins of others prevent accepting Jesus, who was perfectly righteous and condemned hypocrisy most of all. The existence of sickness does not prevent visiting doctors, and hypocrites may potentially hear the gospel and repent.
DID JESUS ACTUALLY EXIST? A CRITICAL ANALYSIS OF THE EXTRA-BIBLICAL EVIDENCE ...Dr Ian Ellis-Jones
The document analyzes the extra-biblical evidence for Jesus from historians and texts from the supposed time of Jesus' existence. It finds that none of these sources provide clear evidence that Jesus actually lived as a historical figure, with most references being later interpolations or merely repeating beliefs without firsthand evidence. The earliest unambiguous references to Jesus come in the 2nd century CE, long after his supposed life. The document concludes that while some sources reference beliefs in Jesus as a god or prophet, there is no demonstrable authentic evidence from within the first 100 years of the supposed existence of an actual historical Jesus.
The Structure of the Book of RevelationCharles Dube
This document outlines the complex structure of the Book of Revelation. It discusses how Revelation is structured through literary devices like chiasmus, where sections are arranged in concentric, inverted patterns around a central point rather than linearly. It divides Revelation into four main sections of seven events or visions each: the seven churches, seven seals, seven trumpets, and seven bowls. It also notes other structures like the two cities of Babylon and the New Jerusalem introduced by angels, and seven final visions introduced by John saying "I saw." Understanding Revelation's intricate structural patterns is key to correctly interpreting its meaning and prophecy.
This document summarizes the testimony of several famous skeptics and critics of Christianity about Jesus Christ. Despite rejecting Christianity themselves, these individuals - including philosophers, historians, scientists, and journalists - acknowledged that Jesus was the greatest person in history. They recognized Christianity's immense positive impact on civilization and morality. The document concludes that while religious and political authorities condemned Jesus during his life, the unanimous verdict of these skeptical witnesses is that no one has influenced the world for good more than Jesus Christ.
This document provides an introduction to meditation and summarizes some key points made in Book 4 by Aleister Crowley. It discusses how meditation can help control the wandering mind and attain genius or godhood. It outlines common methods recommended by great teachers like Buddha, including virtue, solitude, diet, and meditation/prayer. The document notes how meditation practice will reveal obstacles to overcome, and signs of nearing success, like losing sense of self and surroundings during deep meditation states.
This document discusses different theories about the second coming of Jesus and his eternal reign on Earth. It describes amillennialism, which teaches that Jesus will return without warning to judge all and reign forever. It also describes historic premillennialism, which says Jesus will return and reign on Earth for 1000 years before creating the new heavens and Earth. Dispensationalism, made popular by the Scofield Study Bible, teaches of a pre-tribulation rapture and distinguishes between God's plans for Israel and the church. In the end, the document says all the theories are about the gospel and Jesus' eventual return and eternal reign on Earth.
This document discusses the rise of the Antichrist according to passages from the Bible. It explains that the Antichrist will oppose God and exalt himself, leading people into rebellion against God. Currently, the spirit of the Antichrist is already at work in the world, moving societies away from Christianity. Eventually, the Holy Spirit will no longer restrain the spirit of lawlessness, paving the way for the Antichrist to come to power through deceptions and false miracles. He will convince the world to worship him instead of God. However, true believers will be saved from experiencing this time through the rapture before the Antichrist is revealed.
This document contains summaries and excerpts from several other documents discussing topics related to eschatology such as the tribulation, the rapture, prophecies in Ezekiel and Psalms, current geopolitical events in the Middle East, and criticism of Obama's policies toward Israel.

A description of the Bible's teaching on the Rapture which is what Revelation 4:1 is about. If you want to see a video version of this series in 5 minute clips go to http://community.webshots.com/user/matav1
The document discusses three clear signs that the end times are near based on biblical prophecies: 1) The Holocaust and re-emergence of Israel fulfill Ezekiel's prophecy of the Jewish people returning to their homeland. 2) Jerusalem has become a burden to the world due to ongoing diplomatic struggles, as predicted by Zechariah. 3) Travel and knowledge have dramatically increased as foretold in Daniel, with people now routinely traveling between continents in a day and knowledge exploding in the past century alone. These signs indicate that Christ's return is imminent according to the author.
Tribulation Survival Guide by Justin Lucas.pdfJanesmith587825
This document provides an overview of end times events according to a particular interpretation of biblical prophecy. It discusses the rapture of the church and what may happen afterwards, including the rise of the Antichrist and the beginning of the 7-year tribulation period. During the first 3.5 years, the Antichrist will gain power and major wars, famines, and economic collapse will occur, as described by the opening of the first four seals in Revelation. The document encourages readers to accept Jesus as their savior in order to be included in the rapture and escape the coming judgment.
The Whole World is Under the Control of the Evil OneFlaminioRanzato
"The whole world is under control of the Evil one" is a book that analyzes how the world is under control of an evil intelligence since its beginning and explains which strategies ( false religion, Freemasonry, music and culture in general, paranormal events like UFOs ) are used to achieve this goal. It explains also how we can fight all this evil and which hopes we have...
The document provides an analysis and summary of Revelation Chapter 12. It discusses the key symbols and figures in the chapter.
The main points are:
1) The woman represents Israel, who gives birth to the messiah, Jesus.
2) The dragon is identified as Satan, who tries to destroy the woman and her child.
3) The child is Jesus, and the dragon's attempts to kill him refer back to Herod's killing of infant boys in Bethlehem.
4) Michael and the angels defeat Satan and cast him out of heaven down to Earth, where he continues persecuting believers.
This document discusses several prophecies and prophets throughout history including:
- Nostradamus and his prophecies about the coming of Christ from the East to Asia and Korea specifically.
- Fatima and the Marian apparitions where Mary gave a message to be delivered to the Pope in 1960.
- The meaning and symbolism of prophecies in the Book of Daniel, Book of Revelation, and shape of Korea relating to the Second Coming of Christ and establishment of God's kingdom.
- Prophecies indicating 2000 years of preparation for Christ's return culminating in revelations given in Korea.
The document analyzes and discusses the symbols and characters in Revelation chapter 12. It considers that the woman represents Israel, from whom the Messiah would come. The dragon is identified as Satan who seeks to devour the woman's child. The child is Jesus Christ. There is war in heaven as Michael and his angels cast Satan and his demons out. They are defeated through the blood of the Lamb and martyrdom of believers. God protects the woman, representing Israel and later the church, from the dragon's attacks during the tribulation period.
The document discusses how the end times will be marked by deception through signs, wonders, and false prophets. It explains that molecular manufacturing technology could enable someone like the Antichrist to perform miracles mimicking those of Jesus Christ, deceiving many by establishing a false sense of world peace and healing people of afflictions. This technology could give the Antichrist control over matter and allow him to unite the world under his leadership, though true peace can only come through Jesus.
The document discusses interpretations of "last days" prophecies in the Bible. It argues that references to the "last days" were fulfilled in the 1st century AD, not in a future time. It asserts that biblical prophecies only apply to the lineage of Jacob (Israel), not to other groups like Ishmaelites or modern Gentiles. The author claims many common Christian beliefs about end times, the Antichrist, and the Rapture are based on misinterpretations and mistranslations of the original Hebrew and Greek texts.
This document discusses prophecies from the book of Daniel regarding the end times. It describes events during the persecution by Antiochus IV including the martyrdom of Jews who refused to renounce their faith. It then talks about Judas Maccabeus and others who aided the Jews after their fall. The document suggests these prophecies point to future persecutions of Jews and Christians until the time of the end. It claims Daniel's visions were meant to describe what will happen to God's people in the last days.
The document argues that the "last days" referred to in the New Testament occurred during the time of Jesus' ministry and the establishment of the early Christian church, not in modern times. It asserts that the last days were the end of the Jewish age and Old Covenant, and that events like the destruction of Jerusalem in AD 70 fulfilled Jesus' end times prophecies for the first century generation. The document concludes that the last days are behind us by over 1900 years, not still to come as claimed by some modern prophecy teachings.
The document discusses Christian perspectives on the end times as described in the Old Testament. It explains that the "last days" began with a prophecy of Jacob concerning the 12 tribes of Israel, and refers specifically to events that would occur when only the tribe of Judah remained in covenant with God. It describes how the kingdom of Israel was divided after Solomon, with 10 tribes going into exile and only Judah remaining, fulfilling the condition for the last days. The restoration of Israel prophesied in the Old Testament refers to their gathering after having been without a king for a long period of time.
The document discusses prophecies from Revelation and Isaiah about the last days, including the opening of the seven seals and the wrath of the Lamb against sin. It describes how the four horses of Revelation and Zechariah represent powers of darkness that will ravage the earth, bringing victory, then terrorism, famine, death and destruction. It encourages Christians to remain loyal to Jesus during these times and explains that John Hoskins teaches accurately about Revelation to help with this.
The document discusses the differences between the "carnal church" and the body of Christ. The carnal church caters to sinful desires of the flesh and mind, while the body of Christ follows Jesus and his commandments. It argues that the carnal church sees a dichotomy between Jesus and the Ten Commandments, but they are actually one and the same. It claims obedience to the commandments through faith in Jesus is essential for salvation.
The document discusses the Christian Church and its role at the end of times. It claims the Church will be victorious over false prophets and the powers of darkness. It also discusses prophecies from Daniel and Revelation about the dissolution of the USA after it destroys Iran. The resurrection of Jesus guarantees the Church's triumph over Satan. The document promotes the teachings of John Hoskins on accurately understanding the Book of Revelation.
The document discusses end times living and priorities for Christians based on biblical passages. It outlines four priorities: (1) thinking clearly and with self-control through prayer, (2) excelling in love for others, (3) offering hospitality without grumbling, and (4) serving others with the gifts God has given through faithfully administering His grace. The author believes Christians should live with hope for Christ's return and serve Him each day until His coming.
The document discusses prophecies about the Last Days from the Bible. It describes how God will deliver believers and destroy transgressors. It also talks about how after Jerusalem's destruction, God will replant the city and it will be called a holy city. The document explains prophecies from Zechariah about God protecting Jerusalem with a wall of fire and delivering Zion. It describes two prophets who will preach in Jerusalem during the Last Days, urging people to turn to Jesus, but they will not listen. The document outlines the great tribulation and affliction that will come upon Jerusalem and the people before Jesus' return.
The document discusses signs of the last days as seen by John in Revelation, including Jesus receiving worship from angels, elders, and all creation. It references prophecies from the Old Testament about God establishing an everlasting covenant and salvation for believers through Jesus, the descendant of David. The document asserts that in the last days, all who repent and turn to Jesus will receive God's promised blessings to David of eternal salvation.
The document discusses signs related to the return of Jesus Christ and the Rapture based on biblical prophecies. It mentions that the Bible promises Jesus' return over 300 times in the New Testament. One sign is the reunification of Europe, fulfilling the prophecy of a revived Roman Empire in Daniel. The reunification of Europe paves the way for a future world leader known as the Antichrist. After the Rapture, this Antichrist figure will deceive many left behind into believing he is the savior.
The document is a sermon where the author confesses their own sins and faults to demonstrate that even sinners can be forgiven by God. The author lists many sins they struggle with according to 2 Timothy 3:1-5, including being prideful, loving money and pleasure, lacking self-control, and despising good counsel. The author urges readers who recognize similar sins to pray, fast, and humble themselves before God to overcome sin and be delivered from wickedness. God promises to give grace to the humble and lift up those who mourn their sins.
The document discusses director Gus Van Sant's 2005 film "Last Days" which depicts the last days of a musician named Blake who commits suicide. [1] The film is widely seen as being based on the real life and death of Kurt Cobain. [2] Van Sant skillfully weaves together reality and fiction through his portrayal of the "fabula" (actual events) and "sujet" (underlying meaning or theme) of the film. [3] This allows "Last Days" to shine as both a creative depiction of Cobain's last days and a masterfully crafted artistic work that engages viewers through subtle clues about its real-life inspiration.
The document discusses signs that indicate we are living in the end times prior to Jesus' return as described in the Bible. It mentions the creation of Israel in 1948 and Jewish control of Jerusalem in 1967 as fulfilling biblical prophecies. It also lists increasing natural disasters like earthquakes, famines, diseases and abnormal weather as signs of the end times. It describes societal moral decline, rise of false teachings, wars and unrest as further signs everything is leading to Jesus' second coming.
This document provides an overview of end times prophecies from the Bible. It discusses Jesus' teachings on the signs of the times from the Book of Matthew. These include wars, famines, earthquakes, persecution of Christians, and the appearance of false prophets. It also summarizes prophecies from Daniel and the Book of Revelation about events that will occur, including the Antichrist, seven seals being opened revealing horses of different colors, and seven angels sounding trumpets. The document aims to explain what the various prophecies mean and how they relate to the second coming of Jesus Christ.
This document discusses signs of the end times mentioned in the Bible, including an increase in world population, knowledge, violence, and transportation. It argues that these signs are unfolding now as predicted in scripture. Population growth and the rise of India and China are fulfilling prophecies about a 200 million man army. The spread of technology and knowledge supports biblical predictions. More violence reflects Jesus' words about lawlessness and love growing cold. Faster transportation aligns with prophecies of people running to and fro. All of these current trends are part of God's planned end time scenario.
The document discusses how molecular manufacturing will lead to unprecedented material abundance and wealth creation in the near future. It predicts that by 2020, molecular manufacturing will allow for cheap, desktop production of goods using common materials like dirt. This will unleash human creativity and end scarcity. The document connects these predictions to biblical prophecies of great material prosperity but also tribulation in the last days before Christ's return. It warns that the modern church has become too focused on materialism.
This document discusses signs that the current times may be the biblical end times. It lists several prophecies being fulfilled, such as wars, famines, earthquakes, and false prophets. These signs include ongoing regional conflicts, increasing natural disasters, and people claiming to be prophets or the Messiah. The document urges Christians to live devout lives and be prepared for Christ's second coming, as the world will eventually be rid of disasters according to prophecy.
The document discusses biblical prophecies about the end times, including the roles of Mystery Babylon, the Antichrist, and the 144,000. It claims that Mystery Babylon refers to the earthly Jerusalem, which will be ruled by an Islamic coalition and later destroyed. The Antichrist will persecute believers for 3.5 years before God's judgment. Jesus will return with the 144,000 to destroy the unholy trinity of Satan, the Antichrist, and the False Prophet and establish his kingdom.
The document discusses the role of Islam in end times prophecy according to some Christian teachers. It argues that the king of the north mentioned in the book of Daniel will not be an Islamic figure, as some believe, but will instead be an Assyrian who conquers Islamic states. It concludes that Islam will not play a major role in end times events and that God will subdue Islam through the Assyrian king, who will establish a new one world religion worshipping Satan instead of Allah.
This document discusses recent developments regarding Iran's nuclear program and the possibility of military action against Iran. It summarizes that Israel and Saudi Arabia have negotiated a secret deal to allow Israeli jets to fly through Saudi airspace to attack Iran. If Israel attacks Iran by the end of the year, it could destabilize the Iranian regime and allow opposition groups to seize power, replacing Iran's current leadership and halting its support for terrorism. This would help establish conditions foretold in biblical prophecy, including a seven-year peace deal in the Middle East.

The Truth About The Last Days, Antichrist, The Rapture, More.
http://www.teachingfaith.com/content.cfm?id=304
==== ====
One of the keys to understanding prophecy is the knowledge that it is telling the will and counsel of
God including past, present and future. The idea that it is a smattering of future projections like
Arthur C. Clarke or Aldous Huxley might conger or the rambling of some syndicated astrological
columnist and prognosticator is totally erroneous and wholly absurd.
Prophecy is so accurate that even evil men used it to try to fulfill their plan to commit murder.
When Herod wanted to know where the Savior was to be born he resorted to those who knew
prophecy and when it was determined that he would be born in Bethlehem he did his worst to try
to kill the child. (Mt 2: 1f) He didn't argue with the prophecy, he knew better. It is a lesson the
modern world would do well to learn.
There is no science, philosophy, or discipline known to man with a better rate of accuracy. How
accurate is it; in fact, it has to date, never been wrong. To think that the prophecy of the events yet
to happen might not come to pass is the greatest single most foolish gamble any man will ever
make in a lifetime.
Following politics, world trends and social changes in the world throughout my lifetime has
become part of the study of prophecy. Many pre-millennial prophecies have been fulfilled in one
generation that would be impossible to assign to any other generation in our history. We have the
most intelligent and highly educated generation in our history tearing up cities like London, Cairo,
Athens and others; that know nothing of prophecy yet are moving blindly ahead to fulfill it to the
letter.
Politicians can and should be lauded for trying to produce order and create noble institutions and
secure pathways for society but a futility has arisen in this Godless generation. They are beginning
see they have no power to avert or control events that are sweeping across the globe. In fact, they
rarely see it. I thrill to the rhetoric of our noblest patriots both past and present but I come to full
attention at the prophecies that speak to the actual course a matter will take. I do not expect
educators, leaders, patriots and politicians to drop everything they are doing and go study
prophecy. What can be done is to note those who are helping to fulfill Biblical prophecy, in either a
negative or positive way, and to make that known to others. Most leaders and politicians are
listening to the voices of others of like mind, not the prophets.
The very first prophetic utterance in the Bible (Gen 3: 15) is called the protevangelium and is the
first prediction that one day the world will receive a Savior, born of a woman, who will deal with sin
and fallen man in a conclusive manner. That utterance is now past tense because Christ has
already come. The rest of Biblical prophecy has many categories mostly unknown to all but those
who have made it their business to study each and every one separately.
2. In the life of the nation of Israel there are ancient prophecies which have to do with the events of
the birth and development of that nation. As it reached the peak of its time in what is sometimes
called the Golden Age of Israel under King Solomon, many prophets were sent to warn that she
was headed to her own demise. In that period, near the fall, an entirely new kind of prophecy
emerged.
The period before Israel's fall and all that transpired as she went into captivity and beyond, made
up three separate categories. Pre-exilic, exilic and post-exilic prophecies were warnings given to
Israel on what to do, to avoid her fall, (unheeded) how to handle herself in captivity, and the
promise of restoration at the end of that captivity. Prophets like Jeremiah were there for all three of
the periods and while hated for their predicting Israel's fall, they were later revered for showing the
Israelites the promises of restoration.
Within those prophecies was one of the most famous of all time known as, Daniel's prophecy of
the seventy weeks. (Da 9: 1f) It is a prophecy that is so accurate that those who scoff at the Bible
often refuse to acknowledge that it even exists. It promises a period of 483 years between the
edict to rebuild Jerusalem with a wall and a temple to the time when the Messiah will be put to
death. The only edict given out of the four issued by the Medes and Persian rulers, that called for
the rebuilding of both wall and temple was issued by Artaxerxes. From the year it was issued to
the death on the cross of Jesus Christ was exactly 483 years. The rest of the prophecy has a tag
of seven years attached to it and was for the very distant future. That future is now in our
neighborhood.
Interwoven throughout all of the scriptures are yet two major categories of prophecy. One
category, Messianic prophecy has been completely fulfilled in the birth, ministry, life death and
resurrection of Jesus Christ. Some Messianic prophecies were given centuries before his birth yet
all of them were fulfilled with perfect accuracy in his one lifetime. In one twenty four hour period
Christ fulfilled twenty five of the prophecies against astronomical odds. In fact they are the kind of
odds that today we would associate with the possibility of mistaking someone's DNA for another's.
Pre-millennial prophecy, the remaining category, can be split into three sub categories as well.
Pre-millennial prophecy has to do with what leads up to the second coming of Christ. Millennial
prophecies are a picture of the 1,000 year rule of Christ over this earth and post millennial
prophecies are a brief look into the realm we refer to as eternity, the last and ultimately permanent
aspect of God's dealings with men.
Most pre-millennial prophecy is compacted into the very last generation of time as we know it. It
reveals the upheavals of the nations, the rise of the antichrist and the false prophet and the
entrance of Christ into the history of man once again. It is here we find ourselves today.
Every ancient prophet concurs that when Israel becomes a free and independent nation again
after centuries of dispersion, persecution and homelessness that the last generation has begun.
Jerusalem has to be in the hands of the Jews as well. Israel won her independence in 1948 and
recovered Jerusalem from the Arabs in 1967. The rebirth of Israel and the subsequent Arab Israeli
conflict is the single greatest fulfillment of Biblical prophecy since the birth of Christ. What happens
next will defy the best efforts of the world to resist, and it will take a great deal more than the
feeble efforts of Hillary Clinton and others to alter, guide or control.
3. So what is the point? If prophecy is so trustworthy what has it got to do with us? This is where we
see that even prophecy has a philosophical aspect to it that is hard to argue with. The first thing
prophecy does is to remove fear. The fearful aspects of the last day's prophecies may seem like
something better left alone but in fact it is the reason we are not moved by the whimsical
prognostications of science, religions or soothsayers of any kind.
Will the newly discovered planet Nibiru collide with earth and bring about doomsday? Will the
feared comet Elenin do the job of wiping out our existence? Will the Arab Israeli conflict explode
and bring about a third world war that will end civilization as we know it. How about a new
pandemic of powerful strains of bacteria for which we have no defense coming to make everyone
one on earth die a horrible death. None of the above or anything like them will bring the earth to its
end. Prophecy guarantees it.
Prophecy can be far more specific. We think Iran may turn Israel and her capital city of Jerusalem
to dust with nuclear annihilation, but it cannot happen. That of course will not keep them from
trying, but it is a futile effort that will meet with failure. Christ has reserved both Israel and
Jerusalem for his triumphant and imminent return at the close of the prophetic cycle known as, the
age of grace.
Because Biblical prophecy tells exactly what will transpire across the globe there is little reason to
fear the wild and sometimes ridiculous prognostications and nonsense of either doting scientific
speculation or the musings of fringy religious soothsayers.
One example is a newly emerging fear among hard right evangelicals about the possible influence
of Dominionism in the faith of Rick Perry and Michele Bachmann. It is a belief that Christianity has
the right to take over all aspects of government and law. Some even think it is the very will of God.
Really! Prophecy clearly shows that before antichrist comes into complete power that Godless
secularism invades every area of public life almost worldwide. Christianity takes over nothing but
is persecuted and subdued by force the world over. Prophecy holds the last word not doctrinal
extremists (which neither candidate is) or those who fear them. That is just something that is not
going to happen. It creates controversy and in some cases panic but it is just another worry that
has been dismissed by the clear light of Bible prophecy.
Real prophecy is the most stabilizing element known to man and its fulfillment is as sure as the
rising of the sun. However, I would be remiss if I did not warn that even the sunrise is not so sure.
On the day the Trump of God is sounded the sun will refuse to shine. Much more than a line from
a song we love here in New Orleans, especially at the Saint's games, it is a prophecy of a day
when Christ will indeed re-enter the history of man.
The events in the following verse were shown to me in a dream vision as a young man and it was
a long time before I came to read the biblical record that describes this event. I couldn't
understand the meaning of the vision until I read the scriptures, and even less, why it would be
shown to me, until I read Numbers 12: 6, which was explanation enough. "And he said, hear now
my words: If there be a prophet among you, I the Lord will make myself known unto him in a
vision, and will speak unto him in a dream." The Biblical picture of these events that I was later to
learn about, is in part, as follows.
"And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the
4. sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood." (Rev 6: 12)
I don't spend a great deal of time trying to establish my own prophetic ministry because if
someone is willing to pass by the most incredibly accurate record of prophecy in the world (the
Bible) it is doubtful that they are going to pay much attention to me. We are called to proclaim the
rest is up to the hearer. Then there is Jesus warning that prophets don't stand a chance if men are
willing to ignore the very capstone of his life and purpose in coming to the earth to redeem
mankind. To wit:
"And he said unto him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded,
though one rose from the dead." (Luke 16: 31)
Although prophecy has always been accurate and will be until the end, it is not a syrupy promise
of smooth sailing on calm seas. The vast distances between us and other galaxies has finally
brought science to admit the infeasibility of inter-stellar space travel but the rest of the story goes
blithely down the road to a destiny wrought with social, political and economic woes that are
destabilizing our world right before our eyes.
Prophecy promises that the God of creation will appear to deal with his creation in a final and
decisive way. Man was given dominion over one planet for a brief period of time. The usurper
(Satan) has convinced modern man that the future of the planet is the only thing going on when in
fact the earth is temporary.
Only man is permanent. The soul of man according to prophecy is eternal. Diverting our attention
away from this little item is the deadliest deception in his arsenal because we as individuals are
meant to continue forever either in or out of the presence of God. The only difference for anyone
about where they will spend eternity is a little matter of a thing called, choice. God is figuratively if
not virtually holding his breath as he watches which choice we will make. He does not will, wish or
want anyone to make the wrong choice.
"The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering
to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. But the day
of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great
noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein
shall be burned up." (2 Peter 3: 9-10)
