A significant foundational prophecy appears to be infused into words spoken by the Lord right back in the Garden of Eden. Consider whether God had a secondary meaning in mind as he pronounced his curse on the serpent saying...
One of the key themes of prophecy is the progression of human government and its eventual replacement with the government of Jesus Christ over the whole earth. While this theme is woven into many parts of the Old Testament, nowhere is it so clearly revealed as in the book of Daniel. Daniel received a series of visions...
It was during the reign of Belshazzar that Daniel received new visions of kingdoms that would come after Babylon. These visions focus on the first two of the three kingdoms which were to come after Babylon, the first being represented by a ram with two horns and the second by a male goat with a “notable horn between his eyes”...
Because no clear length of time is allotted to the present church age, when we study prophecy it’s much easier to know a fair amount about what will happen in the future than it is to know when it will happen. Yet isn’t it human nature for us to just really want to know when these things will come to pass...
Daniel chapter eleven records the prophetic message he received concerning the rise of the Grecian empire, it's breakup into four smaller kingdoms after the death of its leader and the wars that would follow between the two most powerful of the four resulting kingdoms... For us however the greatest significance of this is how the theme is picked up on by prophecy in relation to events that are still in our future.
Matthew 24 opens with a stunning prophecy that was fulfilled only a few decades after the crucifixion. The disciples wanted to show Jesus around the marvelous buildings of the temple in Jerusalem, but instead Jesus tells them that not one stone of it would be left on top of another...
Revelation chapter six provides us with a summary of what appears to be most of the tribulation period; from the beginning of the rise of the last empire, going forth “conquering and to conquer”, through to the final outpouring of judgments upon the earth and the imminent return of Jesus...
Revelation thirteen is such a clear narrative that it lends itself to a form of paraphrasing; substituting the best understanding we have of the various imagery into the text and elaborating further based on other texts...
Wedged between the seven bowls of God’s wrath being poured out on the earth in Revelation 16 and the return of Christ in Revelation 19, chapters 17 & 18 focus on the destruction of “Mystery, Babylon the great”. In terms of the flow of tribulation events, the timing of these chapters seems to be established in the chapter before...
Zechariah tells us that in the dark days immediately prior to the return of the Lord, all the surrounding nations will lay siege against Judah and Jerusalem. He goes on to reveal that at this time of terrible national peril God will pour out on the inhabitants of Jerusalem “the spirit of supplication and of Grace”, bringing about national repentance and with it national restoration...
While the church as the betrothed bride of Christ is a widely understood concept, the events surrounding the eventual marriage (the union between Jesus and his church) are often less clearly taught, and in some respects have developed their own mythology...
Now when the thousand years have expired, Satan will be released from his prison and will go to deceive the nations which are in the four corners of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to battle, whose number is as the sand of the sea...
We all know Christian’s go to heaven when they die, but is floating around in heaven our final destination? Definitely not! It is abundantly clear from Revelation chapters 21 & 22 that our final destination is a renewed Earth, and yet this thought is remarkably absent from many Christian’s awareness...
The resources on this site aim to demystify bible prophecy by presenting straight forward biblical teaching on the subject without the hype and excessive speculation that is all too common around this topic. The significance of focusing on The Dead Sea Scrolls as the visual theme is that their discovery verified...
