The writer titles this paper "Bible Prophecy" to distinguish it from the many false prophecies of contemporary times that are promoted under the pretense of "God's anointing." Some of the topics covered in Bible Prophecy: What are the Benefits of Bible Prophecy? What is The First and Greatest Prophecy? What is The Spirit of Prophecy? What are Relevant Prophecies of Latter Days?; Daniel's Prophecies about Israel's 70 weeks. What about the Second Coming, The Rapture, signs of the times, mathematical probabilities, the last trumpet? Does prophecy prove that Christ is the Messiah? How can we recognize False Prophets? What is the meaning of The End of the World? Will the Earth Literally Burn Up? Who are The Two Beasts of Revelation 13? Why is Prophecy Sometimes Hard to Interpret? Is Israel's Final National Restoration Prophesied? Who is the Rock of Salvation? Are today's Divine Healers genuine?
The Greek word for prophecy (Strong's # 4394, "propheteia," prop-ay-ti'-ah) means, "To tell before." Some like to say that it is history written in advance. Bible schools use the word eschatology in reference to prophecy. Eschatology is the division of systematic theology dealing with the doctrine of last things such as Death, Resurrection, The Second Coming of Christ, end of the World (completion of the Age), Divine Judgment, and The Future State. A large part of the Bible is prophecy.
