would rage into all-out world war (World War III), with unimaginable nuclear devastation followed by sky events and phenomenon ushering in the cryptic resurrection of the new world leader--the Papal Antichrist. The destruction in Jerusalem will make way for the future rebuilding of the Temple, which the Jerusalem Sanhedrin is preparing for.  The Temple Institute has already fashioned the Temple articles, which are ready for any future Temple services.

 

 

Are You Ready?

 

Followers of Christ today need to prayerfully consider first and foremost their relationship with Almighty God.  Are you ready and willing to give all for your Savior in these closing hours of earth's history?  Next is the safety of your family.  As the end-times move closer to reality, you need to provide for the physical needs and survival of your loved ones.  We have suggestions here on this website.  Third, the world's economies will collapse, and so funds left in the system are bound to be lost.  As the end approaches, you will need to save what can be saved and to use your resources for God's Kingdom.  God swears on His good Name, "It will be for a time, times and half a time [3 1/2 years]. When the power of the holy people has been finally broken, all these things will be completed," Daniel 12:7.  When the appointed times break upon mankind, we can forget retirement accounts; it will be a new day, for we will be on our way to the Promised Land.

 

In spite of all we know at this stage about prophecy and world events, I can tell you from experience anyone who attempts to figure out the full scope of God's mysteries will be challenged to make sense of it all.  Our best efforts will fall short of God's divine plan and some things will remain a secret until the Seventh Angel sounds His trumpet (Revelation 10:7): "For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God," 1 Corinthians 3:19.  I do not have all the answers to Bible prophecy.  No man does, and anyone who says he does is both prideful and foolish. 

 

However, as we study to show ourselves approved of God, we cannot give up hope that soon God's mysteries will be understood with greater clarity, just as Heaven promised.  As the prophecies meet reality, they will come alive and be understood as never before.  Jesus pledged a spiritual blessing for those who read, hear and take to heart the warnings found in the book of Revelation (Revelation 1:3); however, we have yet to fully comprehend the warnings repeated in the many "sevens" of the Apocalypse.  God also promised the "wise will understand" (Daniel 12:10) Daniel's time lines and prophetic visions, just before they are fulfilled.

Revelation says, "All inhabitants of the earth will worship the beast," (Revelation 13:8).  That leaves relatively few who will understand and resist the great satanic delusions of the last days.  Jesus admonished his followers to stand firm during adversity, and to continue their preaching of the gospel through the final trial all the way to the end of the age: "Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold, but he who stands firm to the end will be saved. And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come," (Matthew 24:12-14). 

 

Jesus & Fulfilled Prophecy

 

Jesus (Yeshua) is the Son of God. He fulfilled many ancient prophetic predictions about the suffering Messiah with precision and detail, which is proof of His divinity.  Jesus came as a humble baby, grew to adulthood, suffered and died an excruciating death, and then arose, fulfilling the Spring Festivals.  These events of His life were seemingly hidden in the pages of the ancient scrolls, and most living in His day did not perceive or understand God's redemptive plan. Even his own disciples, after three years of conversation and coaching, could not fully comprehend the death Jesus would suffer in their behalf.  However, Jesus the Messiah fulfilled these prophecies to the letter.  In similar fashion, He will come again and fulfill the last and final prophecies at the Fall Festivals.

For this reason, you are invited to study the 30 lesson Bible Discovery Series-- Insights In Prophecy.  Each guide takes you deeper into Bible prophecy at your own pace. 

Your exploration starts with Daniel's visions, followed with exciting mysteries of Revelation where you'll uncover one prediction after another about events that lead up to the focus and culmination of all prophecy--the promised revelation of Jesus, the true Savior this world urgently needs. 

You'll find thought-provoking insights for student and scholar alike.  On this site we focus on the ancient prophecies of both Daniel and Revelation from a "literal language" perspective, but viewed in light of modern times, nations and personalities. I believe the mysteries of Bible prophecy were written primarily for the last generation, when they will be unsealed for those who will most need God's prophetic roadmap. I will introduce you to a whole new way of looking and thinking about Bible prophecy with concepts which will challenge you to dig deeper into God's promises.
