Introduction

Bible scholars agree that Bible prophecy is a puzzle. I had found the Prophetic Scriptures of the Bible to be a cryptogram (word puzzle), designed (by GOD) to be conceal a message which would be understood only in the end times. This document contains, in simple direct terms, the system for solving the mystery of Bible Prophecy.


The Prophetic Scriptures as a Solved Mystery

Bible Prophecy is the sum of ‘The Prophetic Scriptures.’ As a solved “mystery,” Bible Prophecy is best viewed as ‘one-book.’ The result of extracting ‘The Prophetic Scriptures’ from The Bible and organizing them into an understandable format is this ‘one-book’ which I call THE PROPHECY.

The Five Prophetic Chapters

THE PROPHECY is made up of five chapters. All ‘Prophetic Scriptures’ that have yet to be fulfilled can be categorized into one of these ‘Five Prophetic Chapters.’

Unfulfilled Bible Prophecy

According to the Bible, there remains 1007 years of unfulfilled prophetic events. This prophetic time is comprised of:
• Seven years of ‘The Tribulation Period.’
• Christ’s Millennial Rule

Christ’s Millennial Rule

The Apostle John predicted a period in which Christ, upon HIS advent, will begin a thousand year rule upon the earth.

Rev 20:6
6 Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.
(KJV)
The Seven Years of the Tribulation Period

The Prophet Daniel predicted a period of ‘seven’ years which preceded Christ’s second coming.

Dan 9:27
27 He will confirm a covenant with many for one 'seven.' In the middle of the 'seven' he will put an end to sacrifice and offering. And on a wing [of the temple] he will set up an abomination that causes desolation, until the end that is decreed is poured out on him."
(NIV)

‘The Tribulation Period’ can further be divided into four smaller segments.
• The First Half of the Tribulation
• “The Great Tribulation”
• ‘The Wonders in the Heavens.’
• “The Day of the LORD”

The First Half of the Tribulation

‘The Tribulation Period’ begins with the Anti-Christ signing an international treaty.

Dan 9:27
27 He will confirm a covenant with many for one 'seven.' ...(NIV)

Besides an increase in wars, famines and earthquakes, this first three and a half years segment will be relatively uneventful in prophetic terms.

The Great Tribulation

This second segment begins when the Anti-Christ (The Abomination of Desolation) desolates the soon to be built Hebrew Temple.

Matt 24:15
15 When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:)
(KJV)

During this forty-two month segment, the saints will be persecuted by the Anti-Christ’s world system.

Rev 13:5
5 The beast was given a mouth to utter proud words and blasphemies and to exercise his authority for forty-two months.
(NIV)

The Wonders in the Heavens

Christ defines another segment (which is defined by prophetic events in the skies) that begins after “The Great Tribulation.”

Matt 24:29
29 Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:
(KJV)

The Prophet Joel states that this period will occur prior to “The Day of the LORD.”

Joel 2:30-31
30 And I will shew wonders in theheavens and in the earth, blood, and fire, and pillars of smoke. 31 The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and the terrible day of the LORD come.
(KJV)

The Day of the LORD

“The Day of the LORD” is the predicted day of the MESSIAH’s advent.


Zech 14:1-4
1 Behold, the day of the LORD cometh, and thy spoil shall be divided in the midst of thee.
2 For I will gather all nations against Jerusalem to battle; and the city shall be taken, and the houses rifled, and the women ravished; and half of the city shall go forth into captivity, and the residue of the people shall not be cut off from the city.
3 Then shall the LORD go forth, and fight against those nations, as when he fought in the day of battle.
4 And his feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the east, and the mount of Olives shall cleave in the midst thereof toward the east and toward the west, and there shall be a very great valley; and half of the mountain shall remove toward the north, and half of it toward the south.
(KJV)

The Five Segments

Unfulfilled 'Prophetic Time’ can therefore be defined as the four segments of ‘The Tribulation Period’ and the one segment of ‘Christ’s Millennial Rule.’

Again, these five segments are:
1 The First Half of the Tribulation
2 “The Great Tribulation”
3 ‘The Wonders in the Heavens’
4 “The Day of the LORD”
5 ‘Christ’s Millennial Rule.’
Each of these five segments are represented by one of 'The Five Prophetic Chapters.'

How the Prophetic Scriptures are Designed into the Bible

The Bible can best be described as a series of multiple mysteries whose layout design is similar to a modern newspaper. An examination of the front page of any newspaper reveals several incomplete articles. The remainder of the articles, called 'jumps,' are located elsewhere in the paper. References, called 'jump statements,' clue readers to where the remainder of an article can be found.

Bible Prophecy is one of the mysteries of The Bible. And like a modern newspaper, Bible Prophecy contains incomplete passages called ‘The Prophetic Scriptures.’

How the Prophetic Scriptures can be Located and Organized

‘The Prophetic Scriptures’ contain 'Prophetic Catchwords' which act a ‘jump statements.’ These 'Prophetic Catchwords' enabling us to:
• Locate ‘The Prophetic Scriptures.’
• Link and organize ‘The Prophetic Scriptures’ into one ‘The Five Prophetic Chapters’ of THE PROPHECY. For example: “The Day of the LORD.”

"The Day of the LORD" describes MESSIAH’s advent. It is also a 'Prophetic Catchword.' One need only locate all 'Prophetic Scriptures' that contain "The Day of the LORD," extract them from The Bible and compile into the fourth chapter of THE PROPHECY.

Another example of a ‘Prophetic Catchword’ is: “The Sun shall be Turned into Darkness, and the Moon into Blood.” This catchword describes the third segment: ‘The Wonders in the Heavens.'

Joel 2:30-31
30 And I will shew wonders in the heavens and in the earth, blood, fire, and pillars of smoke.
31 The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and the terrible day of the LORD come.
(KJV)

One need only locate all 'Prophetic Scriptures' that contain “The Sun shall be Turned into Darkness, and the Moon into Blood,” extract them from The Bible and compile into the third chapter of THE PROPHECY.

For example:

The Sixth Seal

Rev 6:12
12 And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood;
(KJV)

We now know, because this passage contains the ‘Prophetic Catchword’: The Sun shall be Turned into Darkness, and the Moon into Blood, that the sixth seal will occur during the third segment; ‘The Wonders in the Heavens.’

The remaining three segments also have 'Prophetic Catchwords' for locating and organizing purposes. This is how this ancient puzzle works in part.
