Discoveries in Bible Prophecy (Bible Prophecy Revealed)

This is a whole new interpretation of Bible prophecy that is prewrath, yet posttrib. It shows the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse have already ridden out during the past 2,000 years of wars, famine, and persecution. The author does not merely make that assumption, he analyzes the text to show what the four horsemen are.  We are now in the period of the global birth pains of the earth, and the Trumpet judgments are next.  This book proves there will never be a world government ruled by a dictator, but there will be WW3. The author discovered missiles and rockets described in detail, even the warhead, which is called a "head that kills" with fire, smoke, and sulfur.  And contrary to popular teaching, America is in fact found in Bible prophecy, and is a major player, as you would expect. Even the Statue of Liberty is described as a woman lifted up between heaven and earth and put on a pedestal, with a covering made of soft metal. Yes, it is really in the Bible! The visions of Daniel also have a new interpretation. The passage in Daniel 9:27 that is supposed to refer to a 7-year peace treaty is being grossly misinterpreted. The original Protestant view of that verse is the correct view. Daniel's vision of the four beasts and the statue with ten toes both show that there will never be a world government. Those passages are not being correctly interpreted. The Bible text never says that the ten toes will rule the world, but only the fourth beast from which the horns come. Likewise, it never says the ten toes will rule the world, but actually says they will break apart. The book also proves that the Jews must convert before Christ will return. Yes, it is plainly stated in the Bible several times! Which makes one wonder how the opposite view could become a popular doctrine.  Though this book was not written against the pretribulation Rapture, the correct interpretation of Bible prophecy does prove the pretribulation Rapture theory is false, which is seen repeatedly throughout the book. The author even found the smoking gun that kills the pretrib Rapture theory! He even presents a new interpretation of the two witnesses, showing that Revelation points us to the Old Testament, and that the symbolic meaning of the two witnesses is Christianity, which is why they cannot be killed until they have finished their testimony, which represents the end of the Gospel Age. They will be killed in a global terrorist attack organized by the beast and false prophet.  But this is just book 1 of 2, covering Revelation 4-12. The beast and false prophet are covered in detail in the next book (Rev. 13-22), including the global Wrath of God.   Michael D. Fortner analyzes the text of many Bible passages by examining the Hebrew or Greek, and consulting commentaries such as Barnes Notes on the Bible. He takes the view that the symbols of the Bible have a literal meaning that God wants us to understand, and sites the passage in Revelation 1 where Jesus tells John the meaning of the seven candlesticks.   The author is a journalist and historian, with a God-give ability to figure things out and to think outside the box.   Table of Contents Introduction Chapter 1: Keys to Understanding Bible Prophecy Chapter 2: Five Seals of History Chapter 3: The Sixth Seal: Signs of The End and Birth Pains Chapter 4: The Chosen Chapter 5: Daniel's 70 Weeks Chapter 6: The Great Tribulation Chapter 7: The Statue of Liberty Chapter 8: World War III Begins Chapter 9: Daniel's Ten Toes Chapter 10: Daniel's Four Beasts Chapter 11: The End Arrives Chapter 12: 2 Thessalonians Chapter 13: The Abomination of Desolation Chapter 14: Matthew 24 Chapter 15: A Brief History of Christianity   Chapter 16: Final Thoughts   Scripture Index   Selected Bibliography
