Introduction To Bible Prophecy

Join the class as we continue discussing the fulfilling of the end-time prophecy of the king of Elam. We also apply the concepts of the very long-term prophecy of the Gentile kings in Genesis to learn more about how God uses the precision of the property of time and numbers to actualize His eternal laws, and His plan on the earth for this Age.

God's fingerprint is easily recognizable to those who learn of them and how they work. This unique fingerprint sets His laws and plans apart from ALL counterfeits. Our job is to learn how his fingerprint is applied, and use this understanding to discern His will, and how it is actualized over all creation until the end of the Age. Also, we can more easily explain to others about our God's heart, mind, character, and His point of view. The more we understand the dynamics of how God works, the better it is all around for us as we live and do what we are tasked with in this life.

God consistently actualizes His laws and plan "At the right time, in the right order, and in the right number" (E.W. Bullinger). 

The works of the LORD are great, sought out by all them who pleasure therein. (Isa. 40/Psalms 111). God not only makes immutable laws and plans, but carries out and enforces them through numbers, mathematics and order, over the flow of time.

No ruler of any nation comes to power unless God ordains it. If the thrust of God's plan is to ensure the world stays on track to execute His plan,

that means the current leaders in each nation - especially the USA - are placed there only to facilitate keeping God's plan on track and on schedule.

In this lesson, we continue to examine the four kings and their kingdoms that Abraham battled and their run-up to fulfill the four gentile world 

powers summarized in Nebuchadnezzar's dream of the statue. We focus on king Elas, the progenitor of the Grecian kingdom that Hellenized the world and the king of Elam who's kingdom included ancient Persia - modern day Iran.

Let's continue to track how God's plan is rolling out and nail down where WE are in it. We examine what has been accomplished as well as what is yet to be accomplished. 

You and I need to know these things so that we will be ready for what is coming next upon those who are alive to experience the very end of the Age - us!

The call for unity! Most people believe, especially in times of global chaos and increasing evil, that the only why humanity can turn the tide for good and even survive is to band together. We have to put our differences aside and find common ground to stand on to save ourselves and the earth!

The most important and impacting changes to society have been borne out on the back of a unified people running the same course, effecting the same plan in agreement. Even the Bible makes it clear that unity of mind, heart and purpose is imperative, especially for the church to function as one, and be successful in its primary directive from it's head, Jesus Christ.

 Unity is equally effective for both good and evil purposes to prevail. It is so important, that some of the most intensive and destructive propaganda and other methods of manipulation across the world and through time are devised to drive humanity to unify. Unity works to advance the causes of powerful evil leaders in both the secular and religious sectors. 

Join the class as we learn about the broad and permeating role unity has played - and is playing right now - to drive humanity away from God, and to destroy itself, bringing the world to the judgment that is already playing out in these last days, just before the end of the Age.

In this class we learn by example the great value in taking the the long view when studying God's plans for the 7,000-year dispensation we live in right now. We'll learn through example how God works intricately in the details of His plans, some of the most fundamental of them winding through the entire Age, to bring about the exact end He desires. 

We examine how God executes key parts of His plans, sometimes over very long periods of time, through a portion of the Old Testament that Christians barely remember as they read through it. We'll cover Abram's dealing with the four world kings of his day. What is this all about, and why does God give so much detail about what seemingly means so little to Christians and the course of history?

Learn with us, as we: 

- Track and map the fascinating history of the four kings that Abraham and his servants met, through to the four gentile kingdoms in Nebuchadnezzar’s famous dream of the statue, to the current day. 

- Trace the overarching mystery Babylon economic and religious system that will endure and rule the world from Abram’s time until the Day of the Lord and the end of the Age.

- Learn how these four kings lead to Israel becoming the head of the nations during the Millennium.

In this class we set as our primary goal to prepare ourselves to be complete in Christ, and dead-on centered in God's will. To study deeply to learn how best to execute as we walk in God's plan for us. We endeavor to base our forward movement on the WHOLE council of God. 

Understanding what to learn, and how to learn the truth is key in our pursuit of serving God. We do this toward being used in His full purpose for us individually, and collectively as the body of the living Jesus Christ.

In this lesson, we learn about the importance of setting a foundation of Godly wisdom to rightly discern as we learn.  The foundation of Godly wisdom must be our solid companion, and advisor, to pursue correctly understanding the things of God and His Word. 

In this class, we cover how to...

- Listen to others opinions of prophecy, and self-professed "prophets" and teachers of prophecy to understand their personal bias and intent.

- Weigh your teachers, and what to listen for in them, by knowing the general Word of God and His character and plan well yourself, first.

- Live a life centered on the Bible - all of it, and that without doubt. This is essential in discerning what you hear about prophecy from any source.

- Detect even the most subtle deception, the major and most effective tool of Satan to lead you astray. Develop discerning ears and eyes!

- Intentionally work out your own sanctification, and live now with a heart toward your RICH welcome and rewards in Heaven after you arrive.

You and I need to know (and teach, if that is your calling) the ENTIRE council of God - the ENTIRE Scriptures. Not just snippets or "pet" areas of the New Testament and some of the Old Testament, or mostly the Christian life that we think we only need to know or are comfortable with.

All of the above is an intrinsic part of your understanding of how God operates, because it is an intrinsic part of how He articulates, and executes His plans. Diligently learn so that you can rightly be taught by others - including me! This is the only way to fully add to your fund of true knowledge as you study independently. With all that said, please enjoy the class...

We who are part of the body of Christ are positionally, at this time, part of the kingdom of Heaven. As ambassadors, we are sent to this foreign country to represent and witness to the kingdom from which we are sent.

However, we are still physically of this foreign world, and must adhere to its nature. We have not yet even tasted of life in the kingdom we now represent. This is a dichotomy that God has taken into account. This is also a key point that very few of those truly in Christ think about. But it is so very important, that God distinctly makes His kingdom and its nature known to us in the supernatural messaging system, itself an ambassador inserted into this foreign land, the Bible. 

You and I NEED to understand God's eternal kingdom and its nature right here and right now! 

The point: The world is poised NOW to go OPENLY supernatural. This has already started, and is manifesting in front of our very physical lives. It is already taking place, with high technology making "modern-day miracles" and promising us salvation. It is working hard to open portals for fallen angels and demonic forces and their higher-dimensional "laws of physics" to interlope. It is going to use its full force to persecute YOU and Me. It will bring multitudes of false teachers and provide the support they need to have most of the world believe them - and seek to kill you and me.

Are you ready, true ambassadors of the truth? Are you ready to understand as much as you can, to be ready to convict the world of sin and the judgment that follows? You will have a very hard and risky fight on your hands.

Satan is already poised to come as an angel of light - bringing with him supernatural "signs and wonders"! If anyone speaks against them, they are to be destroyed. No exclusions. Do you not see this shaping up all around us now?

WARNING: Those alive now, especially self-identified "Christians", if not prepared with deep understanding and Godly wisdom, are destined to believe the lie - and become persecutors, themselves! The Bible says that the very elect would be fooled if it were possible. That is serious truth. 

Study with us as we seek to gain Wisdom and deep understanding NOW. It IS TIME. THIS is what we are pursuing in the Introduction To Bible Prophecy podcasts. Let Bible prophecy inform and prepare you to deal with false teachers - especially as so called "proof" of what they foist on us starts to abound as the world goes supernatural!

2Ti 3:16~17  All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect (or, "complete"), thoroughly furnished unto all good works. 

Join the class as we learn by example the importance of examining in detail THE ENTIRE Bible and its complete history of prophecy and its peoples, spiritual beings, and events to deeply understand God's plan for this Age, and how He accomplishes it all, over the foundation of time. 

The importance of using the entire Bible (not mostly just the New Testament!) along with the augmentation of secular and other documents that detail the history of the earth and its peoples, and events cannot be overstated! 

Listen to this lesson to hear why all Christians must study this way, with examples of how doing so reveals multitudes of the marvelous and deep things God wants us - you - to know about His plan, and where you fit at such a time as you live. 

It is important to realize that God does not intend His heart, mind, character, point of view and His plan to be nearly as much of a mystery as many Christians prefer to believe. Yes, I said "prefer" - it is an act of the will! Preferring to believe that too many of the things of God are meant to be kept in secret can be just an excuse to not move forward with what it takes to learn them. I encourage you to listen now, and learn this more deeply with us...

"Are we there yet?!" Many a parent has heard this unrelenting question from their children as they ride in the car, en-route to some vacation fun spot. What triggers the continuous query is the fact that the family has packed, placed their luggage into back, and all piled into the vehicle. These events triggered the minds and hearts of the children to know that what they were anticipating was actually coming to pass!

Now, it's a question of how the near-term future will unfold in the course of time. This is the cue to start looking for real-time clues, informed by drawing on what they know they are headed for, and what surely awaits them when they arrive.

Understanding and interpreting - and timing - Biblical prophecies should be approached in the same way. In this class, we take a very detailed look at what is needed to understand, as far prior knowledge, and the approach we should take, as we endeavor to study and correctly and accurately interpret and time Biblical prophecy, and our place in it. 

It is NOT the church's job to change the world. Its job is to bring many to Christ and to warn and inform. TO KNOW AND TEACH PROPHECY! Yet, most churches do not - especially in such a time as this! Why not? What are pastors and many others scared of in mapping what is happening and the run up to the End, in this current day into prophecy? Why are they not giving a much needed answer of the hope that we - and only we as Christians - have, that others COULD have? Listen and learn this, and more.

WARNING: I show my passion for the fullness of prophecy in this lesson! Buckle your seat belts before continuing...

The point of the earth and its riding on a the rails of time, is mainly to accommodate human beings and God's plan for us, collectively and individually. As "imagers" of God, we each are born of unique DNA, into a certain group of peoples, within a specific place and time, and for specific purpose. And this, not of our own free will. 

After birth into our individual situation we are given free will, and with it, almost unending choices throughout our respective lifetimes. The question is, how do we learn God's collective and individual purposes for us, and to navigate through them?

Prophecy makes clear that God has specific plans for each people group, and individual life. Throughout His Word and its prophecies, He gives all of us clues and cues, and even time-marks - called "holy days", and a multitude of other facilities, as a witness to the things God wills to accomplish through us individually and collectively. Satan has his plans for us too. We must learn how to distinguish God's voice from his, and to understand God's plan for each one of us. 

Join the class as we endeavor to learn how to interpret, and use God's Word and its prophecies to understand His collective and individual plan for humanity in the 6,000-year timeline on our unique proving ground called Earth.

We are told by God in the book of Isaiah: ISA 42:8 "I am the LORD; that is my name!  I will not give my glory to another or my praise to idols. ISA 42:9 See, the former things have taken place, and new things I declare; before they spring into being I announce them to you."

If God announces what will come, of first importance is to determine it is, indeed, His voice you are hearing, and it is surely His prophecies you are learning. But how can you do this amidst all the noise? A key help in this distinction is to KNOW God, Himself very, very well. Understanding His heart, mind, character and His point of view first is key. We must learn specifically how to observe and determine God and His Word systematically, bringing forth His flawless plan over the foundation of the timeline of past and present. To know the future He will make come to pass.

Join the class as we instigate determining truth in some general end-times eschatology and prophecies. We endeavor to learn how to correctly place in context what has already transpired, and what God has already given us as history vs. what is now, and soon to come. We investigate this thing called time, and learn God's point of view in it, in contrast to our own. 

The past, present and future are not, for God, separated and distinct entities - eternity is not an endless timeline either.  In this class, we use examples and observation of history and competing eschatological points of view to help us to learn how to verify and then heed God's voice in its truth.
