The study of prophecies in the Bible has always sparked many debates amongst Christians and non-believers throughout the centuries. Biblical prophecies already fulfilled; are so accurate; that it does not take a genius to realize the awesome power of God in accomplishing all He sets out to do.

Discussing the TribulationMany people have used mediums and the occult to see into the future, the reading of star signs, consulting predictions made by Nastrodamus; you name it, they have gone there. Amazingly, the only prophecies that have always been fulfilled with absolute accuracy has been the Bible; and because this is now considered ancient, not many dare travel or teach its prophetic passages.

We first begin by showing the relationship between Israel, a final seven year period of suffering called the tribulation; and the rapture from a Biblical perspective and illustrate how they are prophetically related. Having covered the scriptural depths of the prophecy essentials we then have the means to uncover the shroud surrounding the book of Revelation.

The various schools of interpretation become mute when you carefully study the book of Revelation. The book of Revelation is rich in imagery, symbols and a story-line that is a mass of all the Old Testament prophecies.

It provides the detail of events to be experienced by the church, the world, Israel, the details of ages still to come; given by Jesus in the form of visions.

Truly, those that avoid the book because of its difficulty in understanding; are missing out on a treasure and journey of a lifetime. Many Theologians and those that don't realize the importance of being born again as described by Jesus in John 3:3, will fail to understand the prophetic nature of this final book in the New Testament. Ancient Jewish writings such as the book of Enoch, supports the literal interpretation of the book of Revelation.

 

As this book is written with symbols and visions, its interpretations are subject to a wider understanding of the various symbols in the bible. In fact, one cannot understand the book of Revelation, without understanding the prophecies and visions of at least Daniel, Isaiah and Ezekiel.

This is what the various theological schools of interpretation miss out on - The book is merely a continuation of all the old testament prophecies and visions in many respects; of which we shortly demonstrate.
