want to say a word of thanks to my friend and editor, Philip Raw-ley, for his excellent help in the preparation of this manuscript; and to Greg Thornton, Cheryl Dunlop, and the rest of the team at Moody Press for their encouragement and quality work on this project.
he Chinese say its very difficult to prophesy, especially about the future.
Anyone who has attempted to teach the subject of prophecy knows that it is no easy task. To seek to thread together the prophetic strands of Scripture in an orderly and relevant way is, without question, one of the most difficult assignments I have ever faced. Yet it has been one of the most rewarding adventures of my life.
In the pages to follow, I have humbly attempted to unveil His story. I seek to communicate the prophetic program of God from eternity past to eternity future in a logical and progressive way.
My concern, however, is not just to stimulate the mind but to influence the heart. I want to cause believers to fall more deeply in love with the God who holds eternity in His hands, as well as to cause non-Christians to consider the person and work of Jesus Christ.
Studying prophecy is like traveling in space. Weve learned a lot about the earth by going out into space and looking back at our planet. Science has learned about weather patterns, the location of natural resources, and other good things that we might not have known about if we had stayed close to the earth.
In the same way, prophecy takes us beyond the limitations of our time-and-space-bound world and circumstances and lets us see the big picture. The result should be that we become better stewards of our time and other resources now as we live in light of eternal values.
It is my hope and prayer that after you have seen and understood Gods plan for the ages, you will love Him more and serve Him better.
THE
HISTORY
OF
FULFILLED
PROPHECY
THE
IMPORTANCE
OF
PROPHECY
arly Edition was a popular television program in the 1990s that featured a young man who regularly received the next days newspaper a day ahead of time. Because he always knew the future, this mans task in each episode was to save people from a tragedy or problem he had read about in tomorrows paper. So if he knew a building was going to burn, he tried to keep people from entering it. Or if someone was going to be hurt by an act of violence or in an accident, he tried to prevent the encounter from taking place.
We who hold Gods prophetic Word in our hands also have an early edition of future events. We have Gods plan for all eternity, the unfolding of His eternal drama that will culminate for believers in the glories of heaven.
The reason we can even talk about prophecy is that we are dealing with the God who is omniscient, all-knowing. He not only knows what is and what has been, but He has equal knowledge of what will be. If God were any less informed about tomorrow than He is about yesterday or today, He would not be God.
Tomorrow is as real to God as today or yesterday because God is an eternal Being. In fact, time designations have no meaning to Him. Thats why God identified Himself to Moses as I AM (Exodus 3:14). He is forever in the present tense, the now.
But because the eternal God has chosen to unfurl His plan for creation in time, prophecythe study of future thingsis very important.
Most of us have a natural desire to know the future, to try to find out what tomorrow will bring. Thats why the phony psychic networks are raking in the money. They are preying on peoples desire to put together the jigsaw puzzle of life, whether its the collective history of a nation or an individual life. People want to know how things are going to unfold.
I dont know about anyone else, but if I want to know something about what the future holds, I want to get my information from a reliable source. I dont want to stake my life on what some horoscope writer says in the newspaper.
The main problem with these prophets of the future is that they are false prophets. They are feeding people lies because they dont have a clue about the future, either on the individual or the cosmic level. Even worse, sometimes they are demonically inspired.
Bible prophecy is not designed to satisfy our curiosity about tomorrow or the next day, nor is it designed to fill our heads with information so we can get together and debate the details of Gods plan. Gaining information has its place in the study of prophecy. Its important that we understand as fully as we can what God is saying to us. But at the heart of Gods purpose for prophecy is changing our hearts and affecting the way we live our lives.
So as we begin our study of the wonderful and complex revelation of God concerning prophecy, I want to help you see how important prophecy is. The last chapter of the Bible says:
