Solving The Prophetic Puzzle

Why you will enjoy and be blessed by reading Solving the Prophetic Puzzle. This will happen because the purpose of the book is to help the average person make sense out of Bible prophecy. I believe by reading Solving the Prophetic Puzzle this is a highly possible task to achieve for both clergy and lay persons in the church and society. I also believe Bible prophecy is a timely topic for today's world because of many developments taking place in nations and society. Bible prophecy raises many questions about the direction and destiny of mankind that need to be addressed by the church. Bible prophecy should be very important to the church and the world because 25% of the Bible is about prophecy. I believe I have answered most of those questions found in the prophetic puzzle. At the least, I have presented Bible prophecy in a format that can be easily followed by the reader who wants to understand its place in their spiritual and mental development. In addition, Solving the Prophetic Puzzle will be an excellent Bible study guide and resource for pastors and lay Bible teachers. As you will see, the content of the book's twenty-six chapters covers the subject of Bible prophecy from Genesis through Revelation. Each chapter deals with specific Bible verses and passages about Bible prophecy and shows how they have been either fulfilled in history and/or point to a future fulfillment. Each of the writing sixteen Old Testament prophets is examined in detail as to their prophetic ministry and visionary messages. Other prophetic Biblical persons such as Moses, Samuel, David and Elijah are included in the book's content. The major New Testament prophecies of Jesus, Peter, John and Paul are alsodiscussed in detail. The book of Revelations is explored and explained in its entirety by chapter and verse. One of the prominent features of the book is how it explains that there are three separate programs found in prophecy about three different groups in history and in our world today. Those prophetic programs of God concern either Israel, the Gentile nations, or the church. The book shows how these prophetic programs in the past and in progress today are carefully interwoven throughout the Bible. Also the book reveals how each prophetic program will be affected as history unfolds by one or more of the other prophetic groups. I have shown how theology, history, archeology and theories based on Scripture and scientific information work together to present a clear and comprehensive picture of Bible prophecy. My goal is to help the reader understand prophecy by understanding the many pieces of the prophetic puzzle and where they fit in the prophetic picture. Whoever reads this book will be amazed at how easily they become knowledgeable about Bible prophecy and what God is saying about the future of mankind and the world!

Did you know the Bible reveals the day Jesus Will Set Foot on Earth Again? With all of the current upheaval and chaos, the world is hurtling toward the system of Antichrist at blinding speed. Now more than ever, hope is required. You will find it here. This book is a unique topical approach to understanding end-times Bible prophecy with fresh insights. Also discover – Who or what is the Restrainer? – Are travel and technology really last days prophecies? – What it means to ‘endure to the end’. – When is Armageddon? – The covert mission of Jesus. – Is there a great falling away of the Church before Jesus returns? – What is the Door of Hope? – Who are the elect? – More than one Gospel?

If you are bored with or stymied by a routine job, or you are currently trying to flood the market with your resume, you will appreciate this book's scope, compactness and future- orientation. On the other hand, if you are an emerging adult or a teacher who wants to know more about business itself, you may pick up some tricks of the business trade here from the best and brightest businessmen of the last half-century and from me. Or maybe you are a corporate officer who has long been claiming people are woefully unprepared for work, or an executive who prides himself on wanting to know everything about business, or just a caring relative looking for something to help out a young student. Then you will appreciate this sweeping survey's candor and insights. Surging Ahead Brilliantly details Five Essential Survival Skills and five auxiliary topics for this century, imparts a wealth of practical ideas, helps the reader capitalize on my many years' experience, and surveys 30 books by the best futuristic thinkers of the last century. It is a comprehensive but simple guide to what goes on in business, what it is about, and where it is going.

The Rubiks Cube of Bible Prophecy is the first volume in a series entitled Piecing Together Bible Prophecy. The series is intended to ultimately provide the reader with a fairly thorough panorama of Bible prophecy that will serve as a scripturally sound summary of this most intriguing and important topic. Although the subject is unavoidably sensational, this series will attempt to steer clear of over-sensationalizing the subject. It will also attempt to present the reader with a different take on Bible prophecy than the traditional and popular theories of our day. This first volume lays the foundation for all that will follow by familiarizing the reader with the fundamentals of Bible prophecy. It asks and answers such important questions as: (1) Why should we study Bible prophecy? (2) How should we interpret Bible prophecy? (3) How did we end up with so many convoluted and contradictory schools of thought? and (4) How should we define the prominent terms employed today in the study of this most pertinent topic?

Do you wish you clearly understood the different views of the millenium and know why you believe which view you hold to? General editors and experienced bible scholars John MacArthur and Richard Mayhue help to provide a clear and convincing Biblical explanation for the interpretive approach to Scripture that results in a knowable futuristic view of Christ's millennial reign on earth. Christ's Prophetic Plans also helps provide the certain validity of God's promises to future Israel, and the crucial differences between Israel (as a people and a nation) and the New Testament church. Christ's Prophetic Plans offers the reader John MacArthur's most explicit writing on eschatology and is perfect for pastors, bible professors, teachers, and students with a heart and mind for discovering Biblical truth. This primer takes you on a Biblical study of questions surrounding prophecy, Israel, the rapture, and the different millennial views. The fruit of such study is great as God specifically promises His blessing on those who know and obey the things of biblical prophecy (Revelation 1:3; 22:7).

"The Prophecy Puzzle" is a study on the whole book of Revelation, not just "end-time" events, but as the title suggests it does go into great detail on these events and the order in which they will occur. I attempt to bring many of the prophecies of the Old Testament into the book of Revelation to give a clearer and perhaps surprising view of what is to occur in the near future. My goal isn't to win everyone to my viewpoint, but to encourage thought and provide an opportunity for God to teach from His Holy Word, the Bible. I've been a Christian for more than twenty years, which in itself has been a great blessing, but one of the greatest blessings during this time has been the occupations the LORD has provided for me. This is true because for most of that time I've been able to listen to five or six hours of Christian radio a day. This has enabled me to listen to the teachings of some of the finest teachers in modern times. Many of which disagree with each other almost as much as one can and still remain orthodox. This unique privilege has allowed me to study many views on the "end-times," which I believe has enabled me with God's help to understand them better. Also over these past twenty plus years I've had the privilege to directly study under some great teachers. For much of those twenty years I've also taught a home Bible study and frequently taught classes in my local church.
