About This Chapter

Volume IV is the final volume of the series, and every earlier volume has been building toward it. Its subject is prophecy. Roughly a quarter to a third of the Bible is prophetic, yet prophecy receives only a sliver of attention from most pulpits. At the end of the age, that neglect is costly.

The Burning Bushes of the earlier volumes — spiritual, scientific and technological, cultural and moral — converge here, in the return of the King and the consummation of all things. Bible-believing Christians who love the Lord reach very different conclusions on almost every end-times question, so this volume examines them honestly, as disciples rather than detached academics.

Burning Bushes in This Chapter

Prophecy Is a Tricky Business

Date-setting and failed predictions have done real damage, from Harold Camping to the many voices who predicted the 2020 election. Scripture sets a sober standard for testing prophecy, yet it also commands us not to despise it.

Seven Burning Bushes

The volume moves through seven themes: the signs Jesus gave in the Olivet Discourse, four views on Revelation, Israel and the Church, the Nephilim, UFO/UAP disclosure, the Antichrist, and the New Heaven and New Earth.

A Personal Journey: From Beirut to the End Times

Growing up in Beirut through the Six-Day War of 1967 and the Yom Kippur War of 1973, coming to Christ around 1972, and being discipled by the Navigators made biblical prophecy anything but abstract.

Recommendations

  • Read the prophetic Scriptures. About a third of God’s Word is prophecy — do not treat it as a footnote.
  • Test, then hold on. Weigh every prophetic claim against Scripture, its fruit, and the counsel of the Church.
  • Keep the main thing central. All true Christians agree that Jesus will come again — visibly, personally, and gloriously.

Do not quench the Spirit. Do not treat prophecies with contempt but test them all; hold on to what is good. (1 Thessalonians 5:19–21)
