      Sep 23, 2022

      What a beautiful scripture above – this is a solid motivation to meditate on God’s Word. Yet, believe it or not, there are some Christians who deem this Scripture to be an ‘arrogant’ or ‘self-righteous’ declaration. I am so grateful that I’ve had str

      VI. Conclusion: Is Prophecy Profitable?

      This writing has a simple goal: to bring the reader up to speed on what exactly is ‘Bible Prophecy.’ This is written from a futurist, evangelical, dispensational perspective. If that’s not your cup of tea, I understand. However, if you are interested in this subject or at least would like to become better informed, then please join me.

      I. Introduction: What is Eschatology?

      Eschatology is the study of last things; yet, how can we be sure that the Bible even presents prophecy at all? The answer is simple: read the Bible and you will find the genre from start to finish. Much of it is yet to be fulfilled; also, much of it was clearly written with the very end of the world in mind. Thus, eschatology is a legitimate theological branch.

      In order for this primer to remain brief, I’m going to have to present proof-texts sparingly. My favourite Scripture that proves the validity of eschatology is the twelfth chapter of the book of Daniel (which happens to be its last). This was written about five hundred years before the birth of the Lord Jesus Christ. Even if you will only accept a later date for the book of Daniel, it clearly was written in BC times, and yet also very lucidly speaks of the end of the world. I will not relate the entire chapter, but will just recount about half of it in the interest of space…

      Now at that time Michael, the great prince who stands [guard] over the sons of your people, will arise. And there will be a time of distress such as never occurred since there was a nation until that time; and at that time your people, everyone who is found written in the book, will be rescued. Many of those who sleep in the dust of the ground will awake, these to everlasting life, but the others to disgrace [and] everlasting contempt…But as for you, Daniel, conceal these words and seal up the book until the end of time; many will go back and forth, and knowledge will increase…As for me, I heard but could not understand; so I said, My lord, what [will be] the outcome of these [events?] He said, "Go [your way,] Daniel, for [these] words are concealed and sealed up until the end time. Many will be purged, purified and refined, but the wicked will act wickedly; and none of the wicked will understand, but those who have insight will understand. From the time that the regular sacrifice is
