A
few words about prophecy
Bible prophecy is fascinating. It is rich with
symbolism and powerful with historical
fulfillment. In the next few pages we will look at
some Bible prophecies about world powers. But
before we begin, with a prophecy recorded by the
Old Testament prophet Daniel, some perspective and
a few words of caution are in order:
-
Different
people often interpret the same Bible
scriptures in different ways and draw different
meanings and conclusions from them. Many interpret
scriptures in a way that supports what they
already believe, or would like to believe: not
with an open mind. But to reach an honest and
reasonable understanding of scripture we must
always keep an open mind. And we must compare
different scriptures on a given topic, looking for
reinforcements, qualifications and corrections of
our interpretations. Otherwise we can neither
unlearn error nor construct a reasonable
interpretation. In this website many reinforcing
scriptures are quoted so as to support the
soundness of the interpretations presented.
-
No
one knows when - on what date - the "time of
the end" and the establishment of the Kingdom
of God will be. Jesus said: "But
of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the
angels of heaven, but my Father only"
(Matthew 24:36). Therefore you will not
find any dates predicted in this website.
-
We
will look at prophecies of Daniel, John and Jesus
in order to establish a sequence of prophesied
"end time" events. Then we will be able
to determine where we are in the course of events
and see what events to watch for next. We will
also gain an understanding of what the Kingdom of
God is and an appreciation for its importance in
Bible prophecy.
