Prophecy Unfolding
(Copyright 2023) by Dwight Fleming (Oroville, California) While there are those ministers who make light of attempts by others to better understand the prophecies found in the Bible, NEVER underestimate the power of God to grant understanding to those who seek God with a humble heart. Don’t let their lack of faith rob you of your reward. “And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who approaches Him must believe that He exists and that He rewards those who earnestly seek Him” (Hebrews 11:6). How does God reward those who earnestly seek Him? Recall the dream of Nebuchadnezzar which he could not […]
Prophecy Stinks!
(Copyright 2023) by Dwight Fleming (Oroville, California) We all have heard of prophecies or predictions that were made by so-called prophets or “holy men” which failed to come to pass. Usually, in the beginning of their rise to fame, their lofty and zealous prognostications with clever and meticulous details tickled many curious and gullible ears. But once their spellbinding, enticing forecasts of doom failed to materialize, their reputations would quickly take a nose-dive into the garbage heap with a foul stench reaching to heaven. A classic example is the famous prediction of Christ’s return in 1844 by William Miller. It has […]
Fulfilled Prophecy a Proof of God and the Bible
(Copyright 03-16-2025) by Rod Reynolds (Wentzville, Missouri) How do we really know God exists? How do we really know that God answers prayers and keeps his word? How do we really know even what his word is? Many people, in reality the vast majority, live their lives with little or no knowledge of or regard for the true God. There are many who scoff at the idea that God actually intervenes in a decisive way in the affairs of men and nations (2 Peter 3:3-4). Fulfilled prophecy is one of the primary proofs not only that God exists, but of his identity […]
Covenant Promise and Prophecy
(Copyright 03-02-2025) by Rod Reynolds (Wentzville, Missouri) God made promises to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob concerning their descendants. These promises included physical blessings to specific peoples, or nations, and to the entire world. And the fulfillment of many of the prophecies concerning these nations was to occur at the “end time,” that is, near the time in which we are living now. Understanding how these promises have been, are being, and will continue to be fulfilled is an important key to understanding Bible prophecy. The fulfillment of these prophecies not only is a powerful testimony to the existence of God, […]
The Duality of Prophecy
(Copyright) by Earl L. Henn (Charlotte, North Carolina) Many people find the subject of prophecy to be the most fascinating aspect of Bible study, and they eagerly pursue it. Some scour the newspapers, books, magazines, and television and radio news for the latest tidbit that fulfills their favorite prophecies. Unfortunately, few understand the vital keys to understanding the Bible’s prophecies, and thus many of them are wildly misunderstood. Among the keys to understanding prophecy is the fact that most prophecy is dual in nature. Throughout Scripture, we see duality in many things, often a physical reality that prefigures or corresponds to a spiritual […]
Jacob’s Ladder in Egypt (Prophecy)
(Copyright) by Dwight Fleming (Oroville, California) In a previous article, I discussed how God uses mountains for communication and revelation to His people. Jesus, at times, went up on a mountain to pray or to deliver a sermon. God spoke the ten commandments and entered into a covenant with the children of Israel at Mount Sinai as famously portrayed in the 1956 movie, “The Ten Commandments.” But before God met with the children of Israel on Mount Sinai after the Exodus, He met with Abraham on another mountain-top located in Canaan just east of Bethel as I discussed previously. Many years […]
Ancient Roots and Routes (Prophecy)
(Copyright) by Dwight Fleming (Oroville, California) Cecil B. DeMille’s 1956 “The Ten Commandments” movie dramatically portrayed God’s presence on Mount Sinai as recorded in Exodus 19. Mountain tops seem to be special places where God communicates or reveals His presence with those seeking Him. Jesus would often go to a mountain top to pray or to give revelation to His disciples (See Matthew 5:1, 14:23, 17:1-2, 24:3; Mark 3:13; Luke 6:12 for some examples). Nearly everyone has heard of the sermon on the mount. Likewise, a mountain in Canaan played a role in the lives of Abraham and Jacob. In Genesis […]
China in Prophecy
(Copyright) by BibleStudy.org (Farmington, Michigan) What role does China, one of the world’s great superpowers, play in end time Bible prophecy? The word “China” or “Chinese” does not appear in the KJV Bible, which means it is not directly referenced in prophecy. This is likely because the nation lies a significant distance away from the Middle East where Biblical events are mainly centered. For example, from modern Israel, China lies more than 2,100 miles (3,379 kilometers) away. Modern Russia is more than 800 miles (1,287 kilometers) away as well. China, however, seems to be indirectly or obliquely referenced in prophecy through the generic term “kings of […]
When George Whitefield Rejected a Personal Prophecy from John Wesley
(Copyright) by Eddie Hyatt (Tulsa, Oklahoma) A personal prophecy should always confirm what we already know in our hearts. It is dangerous to build one’s life and make important decisions based solely on prophecies. This was dramatically illustrated in the lives of two of the greatest revivalists of all time. Wesley’s Strange Word to WhitefieldTwenty-six-year-old George Whitefield sat on a ship ready to sail for America from the port of Deal, located approximately 70 miles southeast of London. For some time, he had experienced a compelling call to preach the gospel to colonial America and now the day for his departure […]
Seventy Weeks Prophecy
(Copyright) by Dwight Fleming (Oroville, California) Daniel nine contains what is known as the “Seventy Weeks Prophecy.” By the time most Bible scholars and Eschatology students finish dissecting it, we, for some strange reason, end up with 490 years rather than 70 literal weeks. There are various explanations out there concerning the historical event that began the counting of the 490 years until Christ’s earthly ministry. His ministry only lasted three and a half years which is not a full “prophetic” week. Some believe that He still has to finish another three and half years of ministry perhaps after His return. […]
Awaiting the Awakening (there is a prophecy)!
(Part 1)(Copyright) by Curtis Dahlgren (Stephenson, Michigan) Put not your trust in princes.” – God REGARDING THE BIDEN EDICT ON VACCINATIONS: I’m just glad l don’t have a job that’s on the line (one good thing about being 79). The WWW is all abuzz today with the topic du jour. The “puppet’s decrees.” I just put an “l miss King George lll” bumper sticker on my car yesterday. This country is being run by Committee you know. I don’t know if it’s the CPUSA or a Gang of Eight? At any rate, we aren’t just coming to a crossroads; we are in […]
The Prophecy of 70 Years!
by Paul Janvier Mbock (Cameroon) (Jeremiah 25: 11-14, 29:10, Dan 9: 2, Zac 1:12)As the modern state of Israel (composed of Jews or Judah), recently commemorated the 70th anniversary of its creation or existence, on May 14, 2018, we must turn to the Word of YHWH (Torah), to understand the implication of this very significant event, in the fulfillment of some important biblical prophecies, in this end time! “Surely the Lord GOD does nothing, Unless He reveals His secret to His servants the prophets.” (Amos 3:7)-NKJV). The 70-year prophecy was made by YHWH, through Jeremiah, after the ancient nation of Judah (the […]
How to Understand Prophecy
by BibleStudy.org (Farmington, Michigan) What is Biblical Prophecy? How can we understand it? Simply put, prophecy is history foretold before it happens. God uses it to reveal events to occur in the future and to warn man to repent and change his ways. The Bible is the only book ever written that can demonstrate its supernatural inspiration through prophecy. Our Creator not only can predict the future, he also has the power to cause his predictions to occur in every detail! Fulfilled Biblical prophecy is a major proof of God’s existence. They attest to his authority and power to influence the course […]
