INTRODUCTION
Why study Bible prophecy?
W ith the events that are unfolding in our world today, people want to know more about Bible prophecy, especially the sequence of the many important events that Scripture says will occur during the end times.
Did you know that approximately 27 percent of the entire Bible contains prophetic material? Half of that has already come true; half remains to be fulfilled. That means that of the Bible s 31,124 verses, 8,352 contain prophetic material. 1 Also, 1,800 verses in the Bible deal with the second coming of Jesus Christ. In the New Testament, approximately 1 out of 25 verses refers to the second coming. Would anyone dare to say to God that what He wrote in Scripture is worthless, unimportant, and shouldn t be studied? In fact, God brags about His prophetic statements as being proof that He exists.

I am God, and there is no other; I am God, and there is none like me. I make known the end from the beginning, from ancient times, what is still to come. I say, My purpose will stand, and I will do all that I please. What I have said, that I will bring about; what I have planned, that I will do (Isaiah 46:9-11 NIV ).
In Mark 13:23, Jesus said, Be on your guard; I have told you everything ahead of time ( NIV ). He also said, I am telling you now before it happens, so that when it does happen you will believe that I am who I am [that is, God] (John 13:19 NIV ).
Prophetic statements in the Bible prove that God exists and that Jesus is God. They are there to warn those without Christ and comfort those who have believed in Him. There is nothing more encouraging to focus on during these di cult days than to realize we have a God who loves us and has a fabulous future awaiting those who love Him. I (John) interviewed Dr. John Walvoord, a great eschatological theologian, before he died, and I asked him, Why have you devoted your whole life to talking about the rapture? He said, John, there is nothing greater that I can think about than waking up and being in the presence of my Lord and
