God kinda made a mosaic for us where he gave us all these pictures and painted them them all for us. He did this purposely so we could understand when the time was right. He made it so we could only understand once the world had reached a certain point in the timeline. And when you put all of the pictures together, they fit together in this amazing awesome Mosaic that God gave us. And so understanding the 7 seals goes right along with prophetic understanding of last days and of the images that God gave us from Daniel 7, Daniel 2, Revelation 13, Revelation 17, and the 7th trumpet. When you put them all together, everything fits like a hand in a glove. God is absolutely amazing!

We've talked about some of the prophecies of the Bible concerning the last days and what they might mean, based on what we know for sure, and what we see in the world. Daniel 7 goes together with Revelation 13, definitely, and Zechariah 6 seems to go together with Revelation 6, but we still can't be absolutely sure about who and what those are specifically painting a picture of, until we see the final days upon us. Only then can we be certain. Understanding the prophecy from Daniel 2 doesn't rely on speculation, though, like the others. We can look at history and see all the way to the end of this prophecy, right up until the coming of the Lord!

The final seven years – the road to Armageddon The Confirmation of the Covenant The Abomination of Desolation The Great Tribulation The mark of the beast will be implemented The End of Suffering and Death Revelation 21:1 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea. Rev 21:4 And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.

The timing and explanation of what the Rapture is according to scripture. The rapture is the gathering up of God's people when He returns to get those who love Him and take them to be with Him in Heaven. There are many different ideas regarding the Rapture and when it will happen. Many people teach that it will happen before the final seven years begins. Some teach that it will happen before the Great Tribulation, somewhere in the middle of the final seven years. A few teach that the rapture will take place at the end of the tribulation when Jesus Christ returns at the battle of Armageddon. Let’s take a look at the scriptures.

The goal of this article/study is to help in reading and understanding Revelation. When I first read Revelation it was like reading a crazy mixed up series of calamity! This is why most people teach that. They don't know how to read it. Once you understand how to read Revelation, it becomes a much more interesting and informative book. In order to understand the time line of events in Revelation, it is important to understand how the book of Revelation is structured. Many people think that it is a chronological record of events from start to finish and that the entirety of Revelation is prophecy. In this chapter you will see that there is an order but it's not chronological and we'll see that the first three chapters are not prophetic. If we read Revelation with the assumption that it's chronological, it is impossible to understand! Document: https://prophecyandtruth.com/prophecy/revelation.html

Now that we've seen how close we are to the return of Jesus Christ, maybe we're interested in knowing how to make sure we get to go with Him when that day comes? I don't know about you, but it sure motivated me! The following chapters are not an all-inclusive bible study by any stretch of the imagination, but they contain the basic truth you need to know to walk with God and ensure your place with God in heaven! There are so many contradictory types of doctrine (teaching) out there and there's only one bible. What is the truth? It's right there in black and white for those who really want to know it! https://bibleprophecyandtruth.com/truth/TruthOfGodsWord

While the technical definition of these words can be expressed in different ways, the widely accepted meaning of these terms when dealing with biblical doctrine is this: Theology is the compiling of two or more facts found in the scriptures, and putting those facts together to reveal a specific truth. Philosophy is a search for understanding of doctrine by chiefly speculative rather than observational means, or an analysis of the grounds of and concepts expressing fundamental beliefs where a specific fact is not stated in the scriptures. This practice is applied to many obscure passages in the bible where a fact is not stated, but a statement is made that does not give us a full understanding of what it means. https://bibleprophecyandtruth.com/truth/TheologyVsPhilosophy

First things first: We can never forget who our enemy is. Satan... He’s the master of lies. He can deceive the smartest and wisest of us with tricks he’s used and refined time and time again. He’s been working hard to deceive the human race for six thousand years or so. Anyone who thinks they can outsmart him or outguess him had better think again. He wants everyone who believes there is a God to believe that they will be saved, when they’re not saved. He wants to be worshiped as a god, himself. https://bibleprophecyandtruth.com/truth/Deception

Is my church teaching truth? Most Christian churches are founded on the same verses of scripture: John 3:16 For God so loved the world… John 3:3 Ye must be born again. Ephesians 2:8 For by grace are ye saved. Romans 10:9 That is thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. These passages are truth, yes, but that’s not all that the Bible teaches us! We cannot take a few truths out of the Bible and ignore the rest of it. Many people like to justify themselves by hanging on the fact that God saved us by His grace. It is by grace that we are saved, but God expects us to obey Him and love Him with all our heart, mind and strength. John 14:15 If ye love me, keep my commandments. If we’re looking for excuses, God sees our inner hearts and we can’t hide from Him. We can fool other people and can even fool ourselves if we really want to, but do we really want to do that? Do we really want to justify ourselves instead of pleasing our God and trying to do His will? The meaning of these verses goes much deeper than that! For example: John 6:54 Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day. Basically what some people teach is that the Bible says that if we believe, we are saved. That's true! It does say that. Here in John it says that if we eat and drink of the body of Jesus, we're saved. Does this mean that all we have to do is take communion (symbolically eat and drink of his body) to be saved? If we wanted to take this verse and make a doctrine of it, we could. But that would be silly, wouldn't it? So why do we allow people to deceive us with similar types of doctrine? We have to take the Bible as a whole and obey God in every thing He says, not just pieces of it. https://bibleprophecyandtruth.com/truth/WhatIsTheTruth

Chapter 15 - How many Gods are there? Who is Jesus? Who is the Holy Ghost? All of these questions are answered in this video! https://bibleprophecyandtruth.com/truth/OneGod

The first thing I would recommend to anyone reading this book and wanting to know the truth is to read the bible. Start with the New Testament and read it from Matthew thru Revelation, and then move to the old, or start over at Matthew and read it through again. Sit down every day and read God's Word. Give praises to God and ask Him for understanding before you read. When you thank Jesus for saving you and are truly grateful for His sacrifice, He will bless you and lead you to His truth! Don't rely on any man or woman to teach you God's truth, read it for yourself so you know you're getting the real truth! Remember the deception! Most people are caught up in it and don't even know they are believing a lie! If you love the truth, God will bless you and give you understanding. https://prophecyandtruth.com/truth/WhatNow.html

Chapter 17 - What does the bible teach about the structure of a home and a family? I truly believe that if men and women both submit themselves to the will of God, they would experience unity and love like never before. The family would be restored to what God intended it to be and children would benefit even more than the parents. https://prophecyandtruth.com/truth/FamilyGodsWay.html

One of the deceiver’s tricks is the one that makes us think that somehow heaven isn’t going to be that great. Satan even convinces people that Hell is going to be a big party. I know that because I’ve actually heard people say that they will know all their friends in Hell and how fun it will be. The Hell explained in the bible isn’t anything like a party. And the heaven explained in the bible is beyond what we can even imagine! I mean, really, do you think we have a better imagination than God? We have written stories that have a better ending than the one God is writing? We dream better dreams than God can dream? https://bibleprophecyandtruth.com/truth/WonderOfItAll

I believe it is very important that we understand this question. A false religion is one that comes to you in the name of Jesus but does not teach you the whole truth as taught in the bible, or one that comes to you in the name of God even though that "God" is not the one true God. Let's take a look a few of the major religions and explore the real doctrine that they teach and see if we think they are part of the true church of Jesus Christ. I think you will agree with me that not all religions worship the same God as the promoters of Interfaithism are trying to make us believe. https://prophecyandtruth.com/truth/FalseReligion.html

Most people will ask the following questions at some point in their life: Who am I? Where did I come from? Why am I here? Where am I going when I die? Is evolution really true? Is the Bible true? Are we really just an accident? Is there any purpose to our lives at all? I believe the information in this book will help you to answer those questions. You will learn about: Global warming? Is it our fault that the ice caps are melting? Where did the dinosaurs come from? What does the fossil record show us? Is the earth billions of years old? Is the theory of evolution a science? Does the Creation account in the Bible have room for evolution? https://prophecyandtruth.com/creation/creationVSevolution.html

Chapter 21 - Is evolution a science? The common theory of evolution states that there was matter and energy, already in existence, that exploded 15 billion years ago (the big bang) and has expanded into the present state of the universe. Hard matter (non-living matter) became biological life over those billions of years of being exposed to energy and has evolved on this planet to the point of life as we know it today. It started as the simplest form of life and gradually became more complex as time went on. This is taught as a science fact in our schools today. Webster’s definition for science is: Knowledge or a system of knowledge covering general truths or the operation of general laws especially as obtained and tested through scientific method. In order for something to be “science fact” it must follow the scientific method of observation, hypothesis, testing and demonstration. Evolution has never been shown to exist in any way, shape or form in any living thing or in any remains found in the earth (discussed further in this book) and no scientist has ever been able to observe, test or demonstrate anything that even remotely corroborates the theory of evolution. No intermediate or transitional stage of evolutionary development of any creature has ever been found. But wait! What about Lucy! What about all the skulls and bones of men in evolutionary stages they’ve found! Don’t forget this question. I will talk about that later in this book. Evolution is not a science, based on the definition of science, and falls entirely into the realm of a faith based system of belief. The definition of a religion is: A set of beliefs concerning the cause, nature and purpose of the universe. Evolution cannot be proven and as defined practically and literally, it is a belief, not a science, and certainly not fact. It’s a belief. Anyone can believe anything they want, but that doesn’t make it true. Even Charles Darwin acknowledged the inadequacy of evolution when he wrote, "To suppose that the eye, with all its inimitable contrivances for adjusting the focus to different distances, for admitting different amounts of light, and for the correction of spherical and chromatic aberration, could have been formed by natural selection, seems, I freely confess, absurd in the highest possible degree." (Darwin 1872) And, "Why, if species have descended from other species by insensibly fine gradations, do we not everywhere see innumerable transitional forms? Why is not all nature in confusion instead of the species being, as we see them, well defined? Innumerable transitional forms must have existed, why do we not find them embedded in countless numbers in the crust of the earth? Why then is not every geological formation and every stratum full of such intermediate links? Geology assuredly does not reveal any such finely graduated organic chain; and this, perhaps, is the most obvious and gravest objection which can be urged against my theory." (Charles Darwin, The Origin of Species) https://bibleprophecyandtruth.com/creation/isEvolutionScience

How old is the earth? Remember the 80,000 tons of mud per hour that the Mississippi river dumps in the Gulf? They have measured the delta in the Gulf of Mexico and concluded that it has been doing that for about 4400 years. Bristlecone Pine trees are thought to be the oldest living trees in the world. The Redwoods in California are among the biggest and oldest. They estimate that they are about 4000 years old. The oil that is under the surface of the planet is pressurized. That’s why it gushes up into the air like a fountain when it is tapped. After studying the pressure and the rocks and earth around these fields of oil, they have estimated that the containment can only be expected to last about 5000 years before it will deteriorate and burst followed by collapse. But wait! I thought it took 65 million years for it to develop? How has it maintained the pressure all these years? Doesn’t make sense at all… Science data shows that something big happened to the magnetic poles about 4000 years ago. More on this later… Guess what happened about 4400 years ago? An event we call Noah’s flood. The bible shows through lines of genealogy, telling us the ages of people when they had so and so and then how old that person was when they had so and so all the way to Noah, and then all the way to Jesus. It was about 1650 years between creation and the flood and then about another 2400 years to Jesus. This makes the earth about 6000 years old. But wait! Isn’t there all kinds of evidence to show that the earth is much older than that? Don’t we have carbon dating and other things that prove more age than that? We discuss these questions in this video! The Bible also shows us exactly how old the earth is. It's right about 6000 years old! The geneologies in the Bible show the exact years from Creation to when Abraham was born (1946 years exactly)... Then, we see it was another 2000 years from Abraham to Jesus (545 from his Abraham's birth to the promised land, then 450 years of judges, then 500 years of kings and then about 500 years from Daniel to Jesus)... And then about 2000 years from Jesus to today... https://bibleprophecyandtruth.com/creation/earthsAge

When we talk about dinosaurs, it’s very important to understand what a dinosaur is. The word dinosaur actually means; Terrible Lizard (Dinosaurus, genus name, from Greek deinos terrifying + sauros lizard). The word did not even exist until the 1800’s. Prior to this they were typically called dragons. In Psalm 148 David refers to a creature called a “Dragon”. Many cultures have “dragon” legends. The first dinosaur bone ever found was an Iguanodon bone. It looks exactly like an Iguana bone found in Iguanas today. Thus the name Iguanodon. Gideon A. Mantell (1790-1852) was an early British fossil hunter. He described and named the Iguanodon. Iguanodon's teeth and a few bones were found in 1822, in Sussex, (southern) England. An important fact to this discussion is that all reptiles, no matter what species, never stop growing. Humans and dogs and cats and other animals grow to a certain age and then stop growing. Reptiles never do. They grow every day they are alive no matter how old they get. We’ll talk more about this later. (HINT) Before the flood, when men lived hundreds of years, so did lizards... they don't stop growing, ever... think about that for a minute. A not very well known fact is that many of the dinosaurs thought to be extinct by 65 million years are still alive today! Must really baffle the scientists who say they went extinct as part of the evolutionary process. Especially since after “65 million years” they exhibit no sign of changing into anything else at all! Where’s the “evolution”? https://bibleprophecyandtruth.com/creation/dinosaurs

Understanding of the fossil records and bones and layering and ice caps melting, etc. is all found in the pages of the bible. Believe it? It’s there and I’ll show you right now! There are two events in the bible that most people don’t have a very clear understanding of; the creation and the flood. We’ll explore both of those events. In the beginning; God created everything in six days. At the end of the six days He saw that it was very good. Some people teach that it was imperfect at the time the Garden of Eden was made and man was placed there, saying the devil had destroyed the planet before man was created. Some teach that evolution could be the mechanism that God used to “create” everything. Some teach that there’s a gap of billions of years between verse one and verse two of Genesis 1. We will explore these theories as well as some others. https://bibleprophecyandtruth.com/creation/biblicalCreation

Chapter 25 - What is the Firmament? Let’s look at what the bible tells us about the earth when it was first made and what changed when the earth was flooded. Look at Genesis chapter 1 again. First of all, let's list out a few facts about the layers God talks about; Verse 20 tells us that there's a layer above the waters on the earth that the birds fly in. Verses 9 and 10 mention the waters on the earth that are gathered together to make Seas. Verses 14-17 tells us about another layer above where the sun, moon and stars are placed and set in motion for the division of days, nights, seasons and years. Verses 6-8 show us that there are layers in between the waters to divide the waters from the waters. Notice that verse 6 says this firmament divides the waters (plural) from the waters (plural). There are many layers that are divided. Verse 7 says there's waters “under” and waters “above”. The word “firmament” means an expanse, and by implication; to overlay. OT:7549 u^yq!r*; raqiya` (raw-kee'-ah); from OT:7554; properly, an expanse OT:7554 uq^r*; raqa` (raw-kah'); a primitive root; by implication, to overlay The layers of water and expanses are divided and overlayed in many layers. Notice the “firmament” (layer) that God made in verse 6? It was made “in the midst of the waters” to divide the layers of waters, and He called it “heaven”. In verse 9 He gathers one layer of waters together to make dry land. In verse 20 it says that the birds fly above the earth in another layer. In verse 17 God set the sun, moon and stars in even another layer. There is a layer “below”, on the earth, that makes up the seas, the then another layer was for the birds (our atmosphere), and then there was another layer of water “above”, and then another layer was for the sun, moon and stars (outer space). The layer “above” was between the atmosphere of the earth and the cold of space to divide them or separate them from each other. Take the time to really study this and get your arms around the implications of the layers and the expanses and understand that there was and is many layers, and was more than one layer of “water”. https://bibleprophecyandtruth.com/creation/firmament

Chapter 26 - Dinosaurs are mentioned in the Bible! Remember that all reptiles never stop growing? That's right; they grow every day of their life no matter how long they live. We grow to a certain age and stop. Dogs and cats, fish, birds, bears, etc. all stop growing at a certain age, but reptiles never do. Back before the flood, when things lived for hundreds of years, the reptiles were growing every day of their life. Remember the Iguanodon I mentioned earlier? It's just a big, huge Iguana! Nothing exotic, I know, but that's the truth of the matter. The fossilized eggs of dinosaurs are not very big. Most of them are pretty small, actually. Just as the bible tells us about the human giants, in Job 40, God talks to Job about the Behemoth and the Leviathan. https://prophecyandtruth.com/creation/dinosaursInBible.html

When God broke up the fountains of the great deep and opened the windows of heaven, we had a storm like no other storm! Have you ever heard of or seen a geyser that spews hot scalding water because of the pressure from the tremendous heat under the surface that causes it to release periodically? Have you heard about the massive, huge fields of lava flow that scientists can't explain? The fountains of the great deep erupted with tremendous heat! When the windows of heaven were opened, for the first time in the history of the earth, the super cold of space (459.6 degrees below zero) came down into our atmosphere. You probably know that when a cold front meets a warm front that there's going to be some stormy weather, right? Imagine what happened when that super frigid cold met with super heated water, lava and air? The surface of this planet was caught in a storm that makes a hurricane look like a single little harmless rain cloud. https://prophecyandtruth.com/creation/flood.html

Lucy is a 3 foot monkey skeleton that they have declared to be the skeleton of an intermediate stage of evolutionary development; an ancestor to human beings. They say it's an ape-man because the femur has an angle to it, while ground dwelling monkeys have a straight femur. Humans have an angle on the femur to the hip, so they say that Lucy was on the way to becoming a human. Here are two things they don't tell you though. Tree dwelling monkeys have an angle from the femur to the hip. They found the leg bones of "Lucy" a mile and a half away and in a different stratum layer than the head and other bones. They put them together anyway and say it's an ancestor of man. Umm... Enough said. https://prophecyandtruth.com/creation/lucy.html

When God was done with the flood, it says the waters assuaged (or abated). Psalm 104 has more to say about it. Ps 104:6 Thou coveredst it with the deep as with a garment: the waters stood above the mountains. 7 At thy rebuke they fled; at the voice of thy thunder they hasted away . 8 They go up by the mountains; they go down by the valleys unto the place which thou hast founded for them. This phrase, "go up by the mountains, down by the valleys" means to rise up and sink down, into the place where God had founded for them. Eldridge Moores, a prominent geologist, says that the sea floor sank when the planet was covered by water at some point. He was not trying to prove the Bible, he was just stating what he had found by studying the earth. Science News, September 2005 - When the Amazon River floods, it still causes the land in the region to sink down today. The deepest part of the Pacific Ocean is almost 7 miles deep! (36,000 feet, or 6.8 miles) The water from the oceans covers 70% of the earth... before the flood there would have been much more land exposed! Much smaller seas, none or very little ice at the poles, and mostly a tropical paradise with no deserts... If you leveled off the mountains a little and raised up the valleys under the ocean a bit, you would have enough water to cover the entire planet by a few thousand feet. Gen 8:3 And the waters returned from off the earth continually: and after the end of the hundred and fifty days the waters were abated. God simply caused the deep chasms and mountains to arise to the heights they are today with the flood waters. The waters hasted away and returned from off the earth continually. The mountains arose and the valleys sunk down. Whoosh! And the water returned back and forth continually. Slosh, slosh... back and forth for 150 days until it abated (decreased in force or intensity). How about the dinosaur tracks on the sides of mountains on a 90 degree incline? The mountain was lifted from its original place with tremendous force. It's really a no-brainer to understand how the Grand Canyon was carved! If you look at geological maps of the fault lines and volcanoes, you'll notice that they follow the mountain ranges and the deep valleys of the oceans. Right where the mountains arose and the valleys sank, the crust is weak and broken. https://prophecyandtruth.com/creation/water.html

One of the worlds leading atheists finally conceded that there has to be some intelligent design. Antony Flew, who became an atheist at 15, debated at Oxford in the 1950s. He promoted atheism through prestigious works such as his landmark 1984 book, The Presumption of Atheism. Over time, Flew became a very successful atheist. Overall, he wrote ten books against belief in God, as well as many other works. His works were among the most widely reprinted in all of philosophy. One thing that helped him was that many people assumed, without really looking into it, that science evidence suggested that God does not exist. So, why did he change his mind when he was eighty-one years old? Not because he fears the eternal consequences of a lifetime spent promoting atheism. He insists that he still doesn't believe in heaven or hell. Rather, Flew was convinced by modern science findings. He was amazed by the language that is written into the DNA of every cell of each of our bodies. He said, "What I think the DNA material has done is show that intelligence must have been involved in getting these extraordinarily diverse elements together. The enormous complexity by which the results were achieved look to me like the work of intelligence." Science does not support evolution in any way. In fact, science does more to prove that evolution is not possible than the other way around. https://prophecyandtruth.com/creation/why.html
