Prophecy

The Scriptures teach a simple prophetic framework that encourages us to fulfill the Great Commission: to make disciples of all nations in this age. We’re making incremental progress toward the goal of discovering that framework. Our starting point is the Olivet Discourse, where a simple, understandable conversation occurs. Jesus says…

A few weeks ago, I heard a sermon that surprised and delighted me. The minister approached his subject with care to not offend his hearers. He spoke of how we often preach about salvation by grace, election, perseverance, and other teachings in the Scriptures. As he progressed, one knew he…

I’m attempting to show how a simple model of biblical prophecy arises out of Jesus’ Olivet Discourse.

I read the book of James in my private Bible reading this week and thought about its statement regarding firstfruits: “Of His own will He brought us forth by the word of truth, that we might be a kind of firstfruits of His creatures” (Jam 1:18). This experience motivated me…
