Why study prophecy?
Below is a collection of reasons drawn from the writings of John Hagee (Final Dawn Over Jerusalem, 1998), Hal Lindsey (program International Intelligence Briefing, TBN, 18Dec03) and elsewhere regarding the value of studying prophecy:
- Prophecy reveals the purposes of God. (Hagee)
- Prophecy demonstrates God`s ability to know the future. (Hagee)
- Prophecy is absolutely accurate. This provides us with reliable information about the future.(Hagee)
- Prophecy validates the authority of God`s Word. Do you ever wonder whether Scripture can be trusted? Past precision with regard to predicting future events lends great credibility to the Bible. (Hagee)
- Prophecy helps us shape political policy. If our world view is shaped by God's perspective, by His world view, then we are more able to make decisions based on His accurate assessment of issues, policies and the like. (Lindsey, in his weekly program International Intelligence Briefing)
- A good portion of the Bible was prophetic when it was originally written. "Of the 260 chapters in the entire New Testament, there are 318 references to the Second Coming, or one out of 30 verses." (Stargazer site, see links) This means that to study the Bible, and take it seriously, necessarily includes those portions which are or were prophetic.
- Prophecy encourages one to live enthusiastically for the Lord. In There`s a New World Coming (1983), Lindsey describes this in these terms: the more one knows about God's future plans for the earth, ``the better and more enthusiastically he will be able to live in this world`` (p. 267). I Thess. 4:13 and I Tim. 4:8 speak of hope, I Thess. 5:11 of encouragement and edifying others.
- Prophecy gives us patience in our trials. Lindsey writes that ``knowing there IS a new world coming for God`s people gives us patience and strength to joyfully bear the burdens of this life`` (There`s a New World Coming, 1983, 279).

Site construction by Dan Fox, Ph.D.
I am a college professor on the West Coast of the U.S., who happens to be a believer in Jesus Christ and takes special note of fulfilled prophecy.
My conviction:
This site was constructed with the conviction that (1) there are people currently searching for information about the near future, and (2) there will be people left behind after the Rapture of the church who will need Biblical information.
I am guessing that when that event occurs (the Rapture), such information will become increasingly hard to find, both on the internet and in bookstores.
The dark forces of this world will be working overtime to prepare the way for a one-world government and its leader, which may take the form of blocking, eliminating or otherwise destroying Biblical truth.
This campaign has already started. Imagining what it will be like once God has let go His restraint on evil in the world... it is pretty sobering.

Spotlight: Recent Solar Flares
One of the scientists looking at the recent series of solar flares (Oct - Dec 2003) compared their probability to observing a snow storm in California in the summer, on the beach! Look up this event on the web (there is a link provided below).
The series of solar flares were significant enough that satelite systems were shut down so as to minimize potential damage. Airline flights were kept at or below 30,000 feet in the effort to minimize radiation exposure to passengers.
The article about this particular flare read:
6 November 2003
Just as solar scientists were ready to start breathing normally again after the solar activity of October 2003, active region 10486 blasted off yet another mega-flare. This one saturated the X-ray detectors on the NOAA's GOES satellites on 4 November 2003.
This counts as a major astrophysical event!
What did Jesus Christ mean when he warned that there would be "great signs from heaven" before his second coming to the earth?
"There will be signs in the sun, moon and stars... for the heavenly bodies will be shaken" (Jesus Christ, Luke 21:26).
This, and other events like it, will be explored in this website.
