Prophecies: Churches will DEPART from the faith

Prophecies: The coming Antichrist

The coming “Rapture” (Our Escape)

Now, consider the following …

• 28 MILLION copies of Hal Lindsey’s “Late Great Planet Earth” (an overview of Bible Prophecies) were sold in the 1970s
• Over 70 MILLION copies of Tim Lahaye’s “Left Behind” series (fictional stories based on the prophetic “Rapture”) were sold from 1995-2007
• What an INCREDIBLE opportunity for a massive REVIVAL ignited through Bible teachings based on BIBLE Prophecies

Q: What QUENCHED this awesome opportunity?!?!?!

A:  The Christian PULPITS (who marginalized, ridiculed, rejected, or remained silent during this amazing opportunity in the 1970s and 1995-2007)

Yet, 300 years ago Isaac Newton KNEW this would happen within Christian Churches …

Excerpts from the introductory chapter of Isaac Newton’s
“Treatise on the Book of Revelation” …

“Having searched after knowledge in the prophetic scriptures, I have thought myself bound to communicate it for the benefit of others …

“For it was revealed to Daniel that the prophecies concerning the last times should be closed up and sealed until the time of the end: but then the wise should understand, and knowledge should be increased. Daniel 12:4, 9, 10. And therefore the longer they have continued in obscurity, the more hopes there is that the time is at hand in which they are to be made manifest.

“If they are never to be understood, to what end did God reveal them?

“Certainly He did it for the edification of the church; and if so, then it is as certain that the church shall at length attain to the understanding of such.

“I do not mean ALL who call themselves Christians,

“But a REMNANT, a few scattered ones who God has chosen …

“Let me therefore beg of you not to trust to the opinion of any man concerning these things, for so it is at great odds that you shall be deceived …

“But, search the scriptures yourself and that by frequent reading and constant meditation upon what you read, and earnest prayer to God, to enlighten your understanding if you desire to find the truth.

“And If God was so angry with the Jews for not searching more diligently into the Prophecies which He had given them to know Christ by: Why should we think He will excuse us (Christians) for not searching into the Prophecies which He has given us to know Antichrist by?

“For certainly it must be as dangerous and as easy an error for Christians to adhere to Antichrist as it was for the Jews to reject Christ.

“Lastly consider the Blessing which is promised to them who read and study and keep the things which are written in this Prophecy (the book of Revelation)…

“They will call you (those who take Bible prophecy seriously) a Hot-headed fellow, a Bigot, a Fanatic, a Heretic: And tell you of the uncertainty of these interpretations, and vanity of attending to them, not considering that the prophecies concerning our Savior’s first coming were of more difficult interpretation, and yet God rejected the Jews for not attending better to them (the many prophecies of Messiah).

“And whether they (those who scoff at prophecy) will believe it or not, there are GREATER JUDGMENTS hanging over the Christians for their remissness (in not knowing prophecy) than the Jews ever felt. (A stark warning to Christians)

“Be not therefore scandalized at the reproaches of the world, but rather look upon them as a mark of the true church.

“Therefore, when you are convinced, be not ashamed of the truth but profess it openly and endeavor to convince your (Christian) Brother also …

“And rejoice if you are counted worthy to suffer in your reputation or any other way for the sake of the Gospel, for then great is your reward.”

Sir Isaac Newton
