Book Description
Anyone can make predictions about the future. The real question is, “What does God have to say about it?” The end times is one of those areas of theology where people have many wild opinions. Don’t get caught up in all the internet speculations and doomsday prognostications. The real place to find out about the future is the Word of God. In What Does the Bible Say About the Future?, radio host and prophecy expert Dr. Charlie Dyer offers you an insightful look at the end times that’s grounded not in human fantasies but in the very revelation of God. The Bible actually does have a lot to say about the future. It’s an important topic for you to study. So instead of taking your cues from the self-appointed prophets of today, let Dr. Dyer take you right back to Scripture. You’ll get answers to questions like: Are we in the last days right now? Are pandemics like Covid-19 a fulfillment of Bible prophecy? What is the Battle of Armageddon? What is the next event on God’s prophetic calendar? Where is the United States in Bible prophecy? And most importantly . . . If prophecy is true, what difference should it make in my life? God didn’t give us Bible prophecy to tickle our imagination or satisfy our intellectual curiosity. Rather, God wants us to know about the end times so we can be confident in His eternal purposes. With a biblical understanding of the future, you’ll be powerfully equipped to live with faith and hope today!

The Future According to Bible Prophecy

Author: Paul S. Horvath
Publisher: WestBow Press
ISBN: 1973652978
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 315

Book Description
This book will give the reader a much better understanding of what God has planned for this world’s future. Prior to Tribulation, the Church (the believers in Jesus Christ) will be caught up, raptured, and will meet the Lord in the air. Much of what is written in numerous books of the Bible that deal with prophecy is written in symbolic language, often making it difficult to understand. One purpose of this book is to reveal and explain to the reader what is meant by those symbols, thereby giving the reader a glimpse and a better understanding of what the future holds. Additionally, when dealing with a specific subject such as an event that was prophesied in the book of Revelation, often, that subject is covered in other verses of that book and/or in other books within the Bible. The comparing of scripture with scripture supports, sheds light, explains, and/or reinforces our understanding of that particular passage. Following the Tribulation is the Millennium, the one-thousand-year reign with Christ.

Future Israel

Author: Barry E. Horner
Publisher: B&H Publishing Group
ISBN: 0805446273
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 418

Book Description
Future Israel: Why Christian Anti-Judaism Must Be Challenged is volume three in the NEW AMERICAN COMMENTARY STUDIES IN BIBLE & THEOLOGY (NACSBT) series for pastors, advanced Bible students, and other deeply committed laypersons. Author Barry E. Horner writes to persuade readers concerning the divine validity of the Jew today (based on Romans 11:28), as well as the nation of Israel and the land of Palestine, in the midst of this much debated issue within Christendom at various levels. He examines the Bible's consistent pro-Judaic direction, namely a Judeo-centric eschatology that is a unifying feature throughout Scripture. Not sensationalist like many other writings on this constantly debated topic, Future Israel is instead notably exegetical and theological in its argumentation. Users will find this an excellent extension of the long-respected NEW AMERICAN COMMENTARY.

The Once and Future Bible

Author: Gregory C. Jenks
Publisher: Wipf and Stock Publishers
ISBN: 1621891208
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 251

Book Description
This book offers a way to engage with the Bible as a set of sacred texts that can serve as a song sheet for believers in exile-those people Bishop John Shelby Spong calls the "church alumni association." This includes those internally displaced persons of faith who have not yet become spiritual refugees but who feel the pressure to conform to traditional expressions of faith that no longer serve as springs of living water for the journey of life. These ancient texts come from another world and another time, but they can serve as maps for the journey of life. They can best do this when the sacred wisdom of the Bible is accepted as permission to voice the new questions we face today in the confidence that authentic faith has always required such boldness. Religious progressives are people who live the questions, not dodge them. Our task is not to guard a set of traditional answers, but to live life boldly, taking risks for God's sake and our own. One of the hallmarks of this book is that the problems posed by the Bible are acknowledged. In particular, the contributions of recent critical scholarship are embraced, rather than being ignored or neutralized by pious ambivalence. The intended reader of this book is not a traditional believer, secure in her assumptions about God and salvation, but someone struggling to live with integrity in a time when traditional religion seems increasingly irrelevant. The goal is not to persuade the reader that the Bible is credible but-more modestly-to offer an account of the Bible that may encourage religious progressives to reclaim the Bible as a valued part of our spiritual baggage.

Future Prospects of the World According to the Bible Code

Author: Joseph Noah
Publisher:
ISBN: 9781892138071
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 0

Book Description
This book is about the history and the future prospects of the world. It was found encrypted in the holy Torah, the first five books of the Old Testament. There is a prediction that the same code will be discovered in the holy testaments of the Vedas and the Koran. If you love God above all things and mankind as yourself, it is your religious faith that enlightened your soul and your character; you must therefore cling to that faith. The Bible Code confirms that only God knows the future. This book therefore does not contain prophecy; it clarifies prophecy given to us long ago. Much of it was given in the form of metaphor because we were not ready for the facts at that time. The Code gives us descriptions of actual events and prospective dates when they may occur based on the current state of the world. These events should have occurred between 1995 and 2002 but for reasons described later, were delayed. On the morning of the 11 September 2001, the world changed with the destruction of the World Trade Centre in New York. President Bush described it as the beginning of a long struggle between good and evil. He was right. According to the Bible Code, it was the start of a ten-and-a-h
