The Threshing Floor: Understanding The End Of The Age (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781495436192)

The Threshing Floor takes a look at current events through the lens of Bible prophecy. The Bible instructs us many times to watch and be ready for the Lord's return. In this book I attempt to identify the signs that we are to watch for, as well as the ways we are to prepare ourselves for the Lord's return. In addition, I look at how we are to act and react towards a government system that is stripping Christian believers of their freedoms to worship and obey God in sharing the gospel of Christ. I interpret prophecy primarily through three methods. First, I look at past precedents for how ancient prophecies have been fulfilled. The literal fulfillment of prophecies pointing to Christ's first coming indicate there will be a literal fulfillment of end time prophecies. In this book I link Old Testament prophecies with New Testament prophecies in a logical way so that they are relevant and understandable today. Secondly, I interpret prophecy by looking at the big picture of history from God's view point. The Bible reveals the witnesses of God from the beginning of time to the establishment of His eternal kingdom. I identify the different groups through history and the process which God uses in choosing His servants. God follows a three step process where He identifies His servants, prepares them to serve, and finally commissions His servant to go out into the world. Through this process, God always gives His servants promises with conditions attached. In this book, I identify the promises and the conditions of God along with when they will be fulfilled in God's time frame. The third way that I interpret prophecy is by understanding the main message behind the imagery in the writings of the prophets. Future events depicted through imagery always reveal the fulfillment of the past promises to the servants of God. When we don't understand what the imagery of a passage of scripture is revealing, we must search for the past promises in the word of God. By using this three step process, we can understand what the message of Bible prophecy is for us today as we near the fulfillment of many of the promises of God. As God's servant witnesses, I invite you to open your Bible and your mind as we journey through the maze of Biblical prophecies and discover how they relate to us in these turbulent times.
