Dear Friends -

We are often attacked because we encourage the study of Bible Prophecy. Preaching about the second coming of the Lord Jesus Christ is now expressly forbidden in the US by the real head of the 501c3 churches in America. There are very good reasons why people should study Bible Prophecy. The GJiGT encourages the study of Bible Prophecy. The GJiGT encourages the study of Bible Prophecy to build FAITH, and not as some falsely charge, to cause fear. To build FAITH - yes, to overcome fear - yes, to cause fear - no. That particular false accusation is about as far removed from the truth, or fact, or reality, as it can get.

Prophecy proves the authority of the word of God. The Bible is different from every other book. Certainly different from every other religious book. The books written by false religions or cults, try to explain the past. They try to explain the present. But all of them are silent about the future. Twenty-five per cent of the word of God, when it was written, predicted the future; and, it has come to pass with 100% accuracy. Consider the birth of Christ. The time of His birth is given in Daniel 9. The fact of His birth is given in Isaiah 7. The Place of His birth is given in Micah 5. The details of His life, His death, and His resurrection, are given in Psalms 22 and Isaiah 53. The fact of His resurrection is given in Psalm 16. One mathematician has figured out that there is 1 chance in 87E93 or 87 followed by 93 zeroes -( here is how the number looks regular, instead of scientific notation -
87,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 ,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,
000,000,000,000,000,000,000. )- that the Bible could be right on guess alone. It has to be supernaturally inspired.

Bible Prophecy demonstrates the ability of God to know the future; and to control kings, and to control kingdoms, and to see it come to pass. Consider Daniel's writings in Daniel 2 and 7. Daniel was given the panorama of the nations that were to come upon the face of the earth after his generation. He said to Nebuchadnezar, "you are the head of gold." And after you shall come the breastplate of silver, which was the Medes and the Persians. And then he said there shall be the belly of brass which represented Alexander the Great. And then he told of the iron legs, representing both eastern and western divisions of the Roman empire. And NOW we have both legs AS OF THIS LAST PASSOVER 2003. There were 10 nations of the old eastern leg finally officially joined to the western leg of the European Union. So NOW we are down to the toes, and the END.

Then Daniel said that in the final generation, are the feet, having 10 toes representing 10 kingdoms. And there would be a stone cut without hands, speaking of Jesus Christ, the Cornerstone, precious and elect in Zion. That would come and crush the image, and make it fine as powder of the threshing floor and throw it into the wind.

How could anyone know that future except it was God? Who, but God, could predict the future of kings and kingdoms with 100% accuracy?

Bible prophecy proves beyond the shadow of a doubt, that God is in control, that He is in charge. The bible says that He puts one king up and He puts another down. Proverbs 21:1 says "The king's heart is in the hand of the LORD, as the rivers of water: He turneth it whithersoever he will." Please understand that the United States government, and the United Nations, and the Soviet Union, and the European Union, are no challenge for God. He changes their hearts like He changes the course of a stream. He is in total charge.

Bible Prophecy reveals the purposes of God. God lets us see the future clearly and with confidence. When you understand what is going to happen, you have assurance and you have peace in the present. God told Abraham the future of Sodom and Gomorrah. In prophesy He tells us the future of the world. We are not at the mercy of CNN, or CBS, or ABC, or NBC. God's word has the answer about tomorrow.

Bible prophecy is NOT a doomsday message. Bible prophecy should NOT promote fear in the life of a beleiver. Probably more nonsense has been promoted in the name of Bible Prophecy than any other religious subject. The study of the end times, eschatology, and the hot selling prophecy books today, are a testimony of the ignorance of the masses regarding bible prophecy. Most of the hot selling prophecy books today are so full wild schemes that are so far removed from what the bible actually says in context, that it is a sad testimony of how severe the famine is for hearing the Word of God.

Prophecy is not a game. Prophecy games, and the prophecy books of those who trafick in the souls of men, have done nothing but disgrace the noble message of the Holy Bible. Many today are very deeply disillusioned when the fantasies fail to be fulfilled. Bible Prophecy has has been more severely damaged by some of its professed professors, more than by all the enemies of bible prophecy put together. The critical element missing in most of the available literature, and certainly the hot selling extra biblical stuff, is what the purpose of God was to give us Bible Prophecy.

In this first part of Why Study Bible Prophecy, you have been given four good reason to study Bible Prophecy, why you should study it, in the KJV Holy Bible. Let me encourage you to read the parts soon to come in this series. There is reason to believe that in the next parts of this series of Why Study Bible Prophecy, you will see even greater and more important, and more glorious reasons to study Bible Prophecy.

From Chittim, Isa. 23:1
