When some read Bible prophecies of strange beasts representing world powers or of a miracle-working deceiver or of an overly controlling government that will force its religion on everyone else, they simply dismiss these as crazy stories not to be taken seriously. Like a bad horror movie, some shun these parts of the Bible as mystical, strange and irrelevant in today's world.
What about you? What's your view of Bible prophecy? As a reader of this magazine—whose name encourages thinking about God—you probably already know that God exists and that His Word, the Bible, includes prophecies about the future. So it's likely that you already believe that Bible prophecy is true. Perhaps your view is that Bible prophecy is scary but true. If so, that's a good start!
But with this issue we invite you to upgrade your view of Bible prophecy to that of good news! If you already have this perspective, we hope this issue will reinforce your understanding.
As a vertical thinker, I hope you're already asking yourself the question: What difference does it make how I view Bible prophecy? The answer is that it makes a huge difference. Here's why.
The greatest of all the prophets who delivered Bible prophecies is Jesus Christ (Luke 24:19; John 6:14). He came to this earth "preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God" (Mark 1:14). The word gospel means "good news." As such, Jesus was giving everyone then and us today good news about the coming Kingdom of God.
