Prophecy: Real? Myth? Conspiracy?

Part 1: “End Times and Last Days”

Have you ever seen a movie about the end times or end-of-the-world events involving the “Rapture, the Antichrist, or Armageddon”? These are terms for ‘end-of-the-world events’ many people have heard yet know little about.

Most people across the planet know even less about current events revealed in our daily lives by news media outlets reporting on significant events that ‘prophecy’ describes. Life-changing events that will affect every person across the planet.

Why is this information so foreign to our sensibilities? Prophetic knowledge has existed for millennia and has been available for at least two thousand years. God has determined to use or allow world-altering events to expose humanity’s lack of moral or ethical direction. So, what is prophecy? Is it real, a myth, or a conspiracy?

How many prophecies are you familiar with?

What does this word ‘prophecy’ mean for you and your family?

Why is prophecy so challenging to understand?

If prophecy is so important, why don’t more people know about it?

Here’s your chance to learn the answers to these questions. And find out about foretold life-changing events Hollywood loves to make movies about.

How many prophecies are you familiar with?

Did you know there are 1,817 prophecies in the bible? Fully one-quarter of biblical scripture is prophetic.

What does this word ‘prophecy’ mean for you?

Knowing prophecy’s coming events could be a life changer for you and your family.

Why is prophecy so challenging to understand?

Prophecies span different eras from different authors over thousands of years.

Prophecy is like a puzzle with clues spread across time. This makes following, understanding, or comprehending prophecy often difficult, to say the least. It’s interesting how people will put their faith or belief in every medium or path, from wood, stone, crystals, animals, and multiple gods—most often, the ‘little god of self.’ Yet they ignore God’s prophetic words that have been proven true across the landscape of history.

This ‘quick-read’ series is shared to remove fear and apprehension surrounding prophecy’s future cataclysmic events. How? With prophetic knowledge, you (and your family) can receive God’s promise and warnings: His promise of spiritual reconciliation through belief in Christ Jesus, the Messiah, and His warnings to those who refuse His offer of spiritual salvation.

Believe it or not, the Bible is about one person: Jesus of Nazareth. In the Old Testament, Jesus’ spirit appears as the “Angel of the Lord.” In the New Testament, Jesus is the spiritual conduit or ‘new covenant’ between God and humanity. In the New Testament, the blood of Christ atones humanity’s failings, abandonment, disbelief, or reluctance to respond morally and ethically in daily life situations, problems, and issues.

For centuries, doubters have requested proof that God and His word exist. Prophecy reaches across millennia to display God’s Word as true by foretelling future events. Without crystals or crystal balls, without sticks or stones, without oracles in caves, sages on hills, or fortune cookies after dinner.

Prophecy is a clear preview of coming events. To validate the veracity of what was once the future and is now coming to pass exactly as recorded. For believers in Christ Jesus, prophecy is a promise. For nonbelievers or unbelievers, prophecy is a warning about the perils of our future. Prophecy is more than predictions. Prophecy is shared in one moment of time while coming true at some distant moment in the future, as foretold.

Most people, even Christians, know little or nothing about prophecy. There are several reasons for this.

First, disinterest—a lack of desire to hear, know, or believe. Many people think they have no time or lack spiritual adequacy. Prophetic texts are often difficult to understand within a context familiar to us today. Most of all, no one likes to think about the end of life.
