than  a  heartbeat  away  from  us.  Therefore,  we  are
               never  in  the  dark,  and  we  need  not  fear.    We  are
               living in a time when conditions are converging that
               will  lead  to  fulfillment  of  many  key  latter-day
               prophecies.  How can we understand the events that

               are happening around us without knowing prophecy?
               GOD spoke through prophets from the beginning and
               the  Bible  tells  us  that  HE  is  still  speaking  to  us
               through Prophets who are living today (I Cor. 12:27-
               31). We must listen and discern so that we can know.


            4.  Prophecy proves that GOD’s plan will be victorious.
               Given  the  overwhelming  precision  of  ancient  Bible
               prophecy  fulfillments,  we  have  great  certainty  that
               the remaining ancient Bible prophecies will come to
               pass – many in our time, right before our eyes.  Also,
               this  should  give  us  great  incentive  to  respect  and
               listen to anointed prophets of our time who receive

               GOD’s  guidance  for  us  to  heed.    With  prophetic
               knowledge,  we  will  discern  the  paths  to  follow.
               Without prophetic knowledge, we wander blindly.


            5.  Prophetic knowledge assures that we need not fear.
               As  the  latter  and  last  days  moves  ever  closer,  the
               faithful  who  are  living  will  see  times  become  more
               and more perilous.   Tyranny is already rising out of
               the  evils  of  our  times.    By  knowing  what  the  Bible
               tells us, we can take courage to not only withstand
               what we may face; but to rejoice in knowing that our

               rewards will be great as we stand firmly on CHRIST’s
               Words (Mat. 10:16-26, Mat. 24, John 15 & 16).  As we
               are  faithful,  the  oppressors  of  our  times  may  even
