There seems to be a lot of confusion these days concerning Bible prophecy. Today I would like to break up our Bible study into several different sections. I believe if we keep the study in chronological order it will make more sense. Because the Bible is filled from beginning to end with prophecies we will only be studying the most recent prophecies that were fulfilled and the prophecies yet to be fulfilled.

The first section we will be looking at is how we know we are living in the last days. The second section will deal with the most recently fulfilled Bible prophecies. The third section will cover prophecies concerning the taking away of God's people or what's commonly called the rapture. The fourth section will cover the prophecies of the Great Tribulation. The fifth section will cover the prophecies of Jesus' second coming. And the last section will be the prophecies of the 1,000-year reign of Christ.

In this Bible study, we are going to be looking at just a few of the prophecies concerning each event.

There are several prophecies for each event and if we listed every prophecy for each event it would be too time-consuming. First, we need to find out what is the purpose of Bible prophecy. God says that no one knows the future except God and when the events stated by God come to pass you may believe. We can see this in John 13:19, "Now I tell you before it comes, that when it does come to pass, you may believe that I am He."We also see this in John 14:29, "And now I have told you before it comes, that when it does come to pass, you may believe."

Immediately after the tribulation, the people will see Jesus and His saints coming in the clouds. We see this in Matthew 24:29-30, "Immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light; the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken. Then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in heaven, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory."

We also can get more details of this event from Luke 21:25-28, "And there will be signs in the sun, in the moon, and the stars; and on the earth distress of nations, with perplexity, the sea and the waves roaring; men's hearts failing them from fear and the expectation of those things which are coming on the earth, for the powers of the heavens will be shaken. Then they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. Now when these things begin to happen, look up and lift your heads, because your redemption draws near."

The Seven Jewish Feast Festivals

One subject I feel is important to talk about and has hardly even been mentioned by Christian radio is the seven Jewish feast days as written in the Book of Leviticus chapter 23. The reason these days are important to Bible prophecy is the same seven feast days that the Jewish people celebrate today will also be celebrated during the thousand-year reign of Jesus Christ. We see this in Colossians 2:16-17, "So let no one judge you in food or drink, or regarding a festival or a new moon or Sabbaths, which are a shadow of things to come, but the substance is of Christ.
