now, and in what is to come in the future.  One gains
            this understanding only through prayerful and devoted
            study of the Bible.  As we observe how events foretold
            by ancient prophets come to fulfillment, we understand
            the Biblical basis and truth of this statement.  As we see

            this truth, we can only stand in awe and praise for the
            GOD  who  is  and  always  has  been  in  ultimate  control.
            We then know why we need not fear!


            Non-believers  may  have  difficulty  accepting  this  truth.
            However, those who study the Bible, particularly those
            who are deeply rooted in Biblical prophecy will come to
            know the truth. Prophecy scholars tell us that there are
            more  than  2500  prophecies  revealed  in  the  Bible.    Of
            these, more than 2000 have already been fulfilled.  It is a
            life-changing  journey  to  try  to  identify  each  prophecy
            and  seek  to  learn  of  its  fulfillment.  The  precision  that
            prophecies  have  been  and  are  being  fulfilled  is

            astonishing. When we study prophecies and trace their
            fulfillments,  we  begin  to  understand  why  GOD  is
            AWESOME.  Prophecy proves that GOD is everything the
            Bible tells us that HE is, and so much more.  For the first
            time,  we  can  grasp  the  full  realization  that  it  is
            “impossible”  that  GOD  is  not  our  Creator.  It  is

            “impossible” that HE did not send HIS SON to redeem us.
            HE is worth all we have to give and much more.

            Knowing  the  certainty  of  this  truth  will  soon  become
            vital  knowledge  to  every  Christian  who  is  alive  as  we

            approach  what  is  coming  in  the  near  future.    Faithful
            believers will soon endure increasing persecutions.  As
            we will discuss in subsequent Chapters 8 - 9, tyranny is
