Why do you want to study prophecy? To satisfy your curiosity? To be able to answer questions about it? To know whether or not to expect another war or the Tribulation in your lifetime?
There is a great blessing to those who delve into prophecy to learn what God says about the future and about eternal things. Yes, “what God will reveal, he has revealed to us, and to our children in perpetuity; ours to live by this law and by all the terms of it” (Deut. 29:29, Knox Translation). The outcome of a study of Biblical prophecy should be a holier life. God wants His people to be prepared for whatever is ahead. He has told what is coming; it is up to the believer to understand what He has said. Where it is unintelligible, he is to search for the Spirit’s meaning. John says, Happy is the man who reads and hears and keeps the things written in the Revelation.
Dr. Pache has taken up all the main themes of prophecy: Jesus as our hope; signs of His return; nations at the end of time; the four empires of Daniel; Satan, the Antichrist, and the False Prophet; Israel and her future; the Millennium. And though you read about the worst times that this planet will ever experience, there need be no depression of spirit. A glorious time follows. Our God is supreme, and His determined end for the world is good; righteousness shall cover the earth, and Christ shall be the beloved Ruler over all!
Be an informed Christian, one who honors God by living confidently. Study prophecy; keep an open mind, as Dr. Pache did when he wrote this for your instruction.
