True Theology

Easily Deciphers Prophecy

There is text from five, revised, Bible book, verse-by-verse commentaries with additional supporting teaching and study aids on a CD that is offered free with this updated book on true Biblical theology that is simply entitled Way Truth:Life. Those commentaries are, in the order written, complete books on Revelation, Daniel, Zechariah, Ezekiel and Psalms. These five key Bible books were specifically chosen for verse-by-verse commentary because the prophecies in them are highly interdependent such that all need to be cross referenced and interpreted simultaneously. Furthermore, these were selected because they contain absolutely-essential, detailed descriptions and histories of God’s chosen nation of Israel and of Old Testament and New Testament characters, as well as predicted yet-future personalities, events and environments for mankind, all likewise in relation to Israel. These key Bible books also contain all of the information necessary for establishing detailed timelines for God’s future dealings with mankind until everything is burned up and only heaven (the new Jerusalem) and hell (the outer darkness beyond that city of Light) exist for the rest of eternity (2 Pet. 3:10, Rev. 21&22).

The plain, literal, word-by-word and verse-by-verse interpretation of these otherwise-incomprehensible prophetic scriptures is the absolute proof to any Bible-believer that the Plan of Redemption of the Ages and the theology concerning the Creator LORD Jesus Christ that is presented in Way Truth:Life is accurate and true. For, that divine Plan of Redemption of the Ages and the theology presented in Way Truth:Life makes perfect sense of the most literal interpretation of the prophecy in these five Bible books. But the text of these five key Bible books on the offered free CD were also chosen for verse-by-verse explanation because full understanding of the prophecy contained in them will allow one to easily interpret any other prophetic writing in the remaining sixty-one books of God’s Word, much of which is also explained verse-by-verse within these five commentaries.

Besides the blatant misconceptions about God that definitely exist in all non-Christian, worldly religions, there is sadly an enormous vacuum of Bible ignorance, especially concerning end-time prophecies, that is crying out to be filled even in all mainstream churches that do claim to be Christian. Most church-goers, and sadly even most church leaders, are so ignorant of what God is doing and is actually about to do that they don’t even know what to ask about what they don’t know.

Average, supposedly-knowledgeable Bible experts don’t know anything about what the Bible reveals concerning the timing of Christ’s return. They certainly can’t use simple terms to clearly explain how God’s predestination and mankind’s free will coexist. They don’t know how God will ultimately judge every eternal being who ever lives in a fair manner regardless of when they live or what spiritual enlightenment they are exposed to. Most don’t even know what God really requires for a person to be spiritually born again and eternally saved, much less what spiritual stages everyone who ever lives potentially goes through from the moment that one comes into existence until he physically dies. They don’t know God’s plan for His chosen nation of Israel during the church age, during the coming 7-year Tribulation and during the Millennial Kingdom. They don’t know the Bible-revealed destiny that God has clearly designed for every fetus and baby and other person who dies before the age of moral accountability. Even those who do at least understand that there will be a rapture/resurrection of the living/deceased church at the beginning of the 7-year Tribulation do not understand that the Bible also reveals a second rapture of living Tribulation saints in Israel and resurrection of Old Testament saints that is going to likewise take place in the middle of those seven years. They don’t have any concept of who the 144,000 Jews are that are spoken of in Revelation chapters 7 and 14. They know nothing about the composition of or destruction of the false church at the beginning of the 7-year Tribulation and certainly don’t have a clear view of the chronology of specific events of those fast-approaching seven years as God completes history on this unregenerate earth. They choose to remain ignorant of God’s clear plan to destroy Russia and the United States-led Americas early in those seven years. They don’t know anything about the unholy trinity revealed in the book of Revelation or the role that the Antichrist will play in it. Most don’t even really believe that there will be a Millennial Kingdom on this regenerated earth after those seven years. And, those who do believe in God’s literal kingdom on this earth are ignorant about who will live during that thousand years and why this blessed time is absolutely necessary for God to wrap up His Plan of Redemption of the Ages. They know virtually nothing about the fourth, divinely-built temple that will exist during those thousand years, or the layout of the much-expanded nation of Israel then, or about the clearly defined worship that will be going on then at that temple under the guidance of the resurrected King David. Finally, they don’t understand that the new Jerusalem, exactly described in Revelation chapters 21 and 22, is the sum-total of all of mankind’s eternal heaven.

Because of this gross ignorance, it is my sincere desire to as clearly as possible explain directly from scripture what God’s Word reveals about His overall dealings with mankind, past, present and future. My goal is to concisely provide as much true, easy-to-comprehend knowledge of the Bible as possible. Therefore, this printed book on theology and the text of commentary on the five specifically-chosen prophetic books on CD offered free with it provides the answers to all of the above listed unknowns as well as answers to a host of other misconceptions about God and His Word.

The book of Revelation is key to understanding all other books of the Bible because it, more than any other book, fully reveals Who the Creator LORD Jesus Christ is, and He is the central subject of all scripture (Luke 24:27&44). God’s plan to soon wrap up all of mankind’s history within this creation and then to extend that relationship or lack thereof with all individuals who ever lived is fully explained in this final book of the Bible. Details of the fast-approaching 7-year Tribulation that will destroy this sin-cursed, unregenerate earth, and of Christ’s Millennial Kingdom on the fast-approaching regenerated earth, and of the eternal state of saved mankind in the new Jerusalem (man’s eternal heaven) are all presented in the book of Revelation. A detailed, scripture-indexed Chronology Chart of the 7-year Tribulation and what precedes and succeeds it is included with commentary on the book of Revelation. Every verse of the book of Revelation is shown in bold numbering on this chart so that the exact time being addressed by each verse, in relation to the 7-year Tribulation, can be quickly ascertained. In addition, also included on the CD is a rendering of the new Jerusalem (the new heaven and - - new earth described in Revelation chapters 21 and 22) so that one can better visualize the overall environment of the everlasting heaven that all of the eternally saved will occupy with their Lord.

Commencement of the 7-year Tribulation, that will begin simultaneously with the rapture of the church, will occur soon after February 13, 2067 as explained from a most-literal interpretation of scripture in chapter T-1 of this book (Way Truth:Life). But a way of escape to paradise in God’s very presence is available to all who ever live whether anyone physically lives until the time of the church’s rapture or not. The world is rapidly shaping up for Christ’s return. Whether His second coming will be the ultimate Good News for anyone or one’s horror of horrors depends on what one does with God’s open, Bible-revealed, free invitation to join the Creator LORD Jesus Christ and all of the rest of the saved for eternal, unimaginable bliss when this life is over (1 Cor. 2:9).

The book of Daniel is to the Old Testament what the book of Revelation is to the New Testament. The book of Daniel was sealed up by God until the time of the end (Dan. 12:4), a time that we are now in. It is only through information given in the book of Revelation that the book of Daniel can be fully understood. Likewise, many parts of Revelation, and especially the precise chronology of events depicted there, would remain a mystery if they were not revealed in the book of Daniel (Dan. 8:14&26, 9:24-27). Hence, the prophetic books of Daniel and Revelation especially complement each other. The book of Daniel not only contained a prediction of the exact time of Jesus Christ’s triumphant entry into Jerusalem just prior to His crucifixion, but also correctly detailed the four world-wide kingdoms (so far as Israel was concerned) that would dominate from that prophet’s day forward until the end of time for this unregenerate earth (Dan. 2 & 7).

The book of Zechariah, second only to Isaiah in Messianic prophecies, is a key Bible book because of those Messianic prophecies and because of its precise descriptions of Israel both in this unregenerate earth and in the future regenerated earth of the Millennial Kingdom. Zechariah, like Revelation, was also written in apocalyptic, highly-figurative language that likewise paints pictures of eschatological (end-time) events. Included with the commentary on Zechariah is a table depicting the general time period being covered by every verse of this book. Also included is a sketch of Moses’s Lampstand and a sketch of Zechariah’s Lampstand with its associated two olive trees that are discussed in chapter 4 of this book. The book of Zechariah is especially descriptive of the Jews of today until the 7-year Tribulation, of God’s dealings with the Jews during the 7-year Tribulation, and of their future, blessed position in the world during Christ’s Millennial Kingdom on the regenerated earth.

The key prophetic book of Ezekiel best documents the exile of Israel in Babylon even as it describes and dates many events taking place back in Palestine at that time. The prophet Ezekiel, the Zadokite prophet/priest, best described the Old Testament angelic conveyance of the LORD in all of His preincarnate glory. This prophet also answers many of the theological questions that fellow exiles had about why their beloved country had been allowed to be destroyed when they knew that they were the chosen nation of all nations on earth for special blessing by God.

Ezekiel’s book is centered around the destruction of Solomon’s first Jewish temple in his own day of Israelite captivity. However, Ezekiel is also a key Bible book because this prophet describes in exquisite detail the supremely-magnificent, fourth Jewish temple that will be divinely-built by God and the associated worship services that will exist in the greatly-expanded nation of Israel during the future Millennial Kingdom on the regenerated earth (Ez. 40-48). In the process of describing Israel’s future, fourth temple and the land area and worship services of the Millennial Kingdom, Ezekiel also instructed his contemporaries by relaying many of the LORD’s commandments concerning worship at Zerubbabel’s, second temple in Jerusalem that would be built by returning Jews shortly after Ezekiel’s day. This second temple is the one that Jesus Himself visited about 500 years after Ezekiel’s prophecies were recorded.

Included with the complete commentary on the book of Ezekiel is a depiction of the book’s cover showing the LORD’s Old Testament angelic chariot of transportation on the earth. Especially informative is a computer-generated, scripture-dimensioned and physically-dimensioned, exact plan of the Jews’ future, fourth, Millennial Kingdom temple and altar that will be divinely-built by God, and a similar depiction of the land area of Israel of that future day. These plans showing scripture references in place of normal dimensions are drawn on scaled background grids so that exact physical dimensions specified by each scripture are readily apparent. Finally, a graph showing the relationship of Zadokite priests, like Ezekiel, to all other Israelite priests is provided to make identification of these special Zadokite priests easy to understand.

The fifth and final key Bible book commentary is on the Psalms. The book of Psalms is the largest and also, with the exception of the Gospels, the most widely used Bible book. Furthermore, this book contains the greatest single grouping of scriptures in the Old Testament specifically concerning the Saviour, the Creator LORD of the Old Testament Who we know as Jesus Christ. But what makes this book key to understanding all other scripture is its detailed history of Israel and its presentation of David’s role as the shepherd/king of Israel during Old Testament times and, as also described in the book of Ezekiel, David’s future role as king and acting high priest during Christ’s fast-approaching Millennial Kingdom on the regenerated earth. There are many things concerning the Creator LORD Jesus Christ during Old Testament times, during the time when He walked on this earth as a man, and during His future time as King of all kings on the regenerated earth, that we would not know without the Psalms. The Psalms were not only very prophetic concerning New Testament events that have already come to pass, but is also very prophetic concerning yet-future events that will likewise shortly come to pass. Though most commentators attribute very little prophecy to the Psalms because they either do not take them literally or simply do not understand what those scriptures are describing, the Psalms are actually filled with prophecies.

Even though they are cross referenced in many places, the text on the CD from all five Bible-book commentaries stands alone as independent works, since each is ultimately and fully referenced back to scripture alone. Nevertheless, the best approach to understanding these most-literally interpreted commentaries is to begin with this printed book on theology entitled Way Truth:Life and read it beginning at page one without skipping any pages. This is true because the concepts presented in its introduction and its four chapters on theology will certainly be new to most readers and certainly new to even professed believers who are not accustomed to believing every portion of God’s Word as literally as it can be interpreted in relation to all other scripture.

To properly interpret prophetic scripture, it is first of all vital that one understands who the eternal Creator LORD Jesus Christ is in all of His fullness and that one understands God’s overall Plan of Redemption of the Ages by which He is accomplishing and will accomplish His intended purpose for creation from its very beginning until He burns it all up (2 Pet. 3:10). For, a comprehension of Who the Lord God really is, of what He is doing with His creation, of why He is doing it, of how He is doing it, of where He is doing it and of when He is doing it, is necessary for each individual to understand where he or she fits into the overall scheme of things both in this life and in the one to come.

Prophecy is misinterpreted basically because of erroneous theology that does not square with the whole of scripture. And, erroneous theology is basically the product of simply not believing God’s Word in its most literal interpretation relative to all scripture. Therefore, in addition to this very descriptive foreword, the printed book entitled Way Truth:Life has an introduction and four chapters that give, from the most literal interpretation of the entire Bible: (1) scripture’s definition of the fullness of Who the Creator LORD Jesus Christ actually is, (2) God’s foreordained timetable (past, present and future) for dealing with mankind, (3) every person’s God-given free will within the framework of God’s predestined plan and purpose for all of creation, (4) God’s Old and New Testament precise revelation of exactly how He will judge everyone who ever lives within His overall Plan of Redemption of the Ages and, (5) the eternal, spiritual life model of every person who ever lives regardless of how long they physically live on this unregenerate earth.

As already mentioned, very-detailed, scripture-referenced, verse-by-verse commentary from the five key prophetic books of scripture listed earlier is also offered free with this printed book on true Bible theology in order to substantiate this most-literal interpretation of scripture presented in Way Truth:Life. These five commentaries are included simply because misinterpretation of so many portions of scripture that are taken out of context has resulted in the most ridiculous explanations imaginable of God’s Word, and particularly of prophecy. A case in point concerning scripture in general is Romans 10:17 that is almost always taken out of context and interpreted not just wrong, but exactly the opposite to Paul’s intended meaning for that passage of scripture in verses 13-18. (see Psalm 19 in Psalms & the Creator LORD Jesus Christ by Dale M. Presley for the true interpretation of that whole passage)

However, an even greater absurdity than this to me is the statement by virtually all prophecy preachers/teachers/authors that the United States does not appear in Biblical end-times prophecy. For, God devotes four full chapters out of the twenty-two chapters of the book of Revelation (almost one-fifth of that book) specifically to the United States-led Americas that will, during the time of the 7-year Tribulation, be one Economic/Political entity (see Revelation of the Creator LORD Jesus Christ on the CD). How so-called Bible experts can miss this is beyond me! For, it is prophesied that early in the 7-year Tribulation one-forth of mankind will be killed off and a third of the earth will be destroyed and made uninhabitable forevermore in chapters 6-8 of the book of Revelation (which is further described in chapter 18), and then all of the rest of chapters 9 through 17 and 19 are about happenings in Asia, Europe and Africa! Just where in the world do these preachers/teachers/writers think that this fourth of mankind and third of all destroyed-forevermore land area can be if, during the latter part of the 7-year Tribulation, the Americas are still existing when God progressively zeroes in on Israel within the three continents that contain and surround it? Shame on any Bible teacher/preacher/author who can plainly read what is coming and yet is too afraid of losing funding or support or popularity to proclaim this extremely plain revelation of scripture!

There are cataclysmic events that have nothing to do with global warming that are about to happen to this whole world that mankind needs to be warned about and advised about concerning how to escape from them. The relentless march toward a fast-approaching one-man takeover of all religions by the Antichrist is abundantly evident even today in the extremely naive acceptance of the complete legitimacy of all religions of faith in the world (Christian, Muslim, Hindu, Buddhist, Sikh, Jewish, etc.) by even those professing to be Christian evangelicals. This is what compels me to explain Biblical prophecy! NOW is the time for everyone to find out what the true Word of God says and truly means, and is the time for everyone to get their self ready to escape the coming worldwide holocaust.

Earlier, existing, published editions of the five Bible-book commentaries listed above are currently available on the Internet at AuthorHouse.com and Amazon.com. However, I have updated, proofed, corrected, revised and cross-referenced the text of all five of these books for this CD to hopefully make them even clearer and easier to understand, and to make all dates used in them agree with A Chronology of the Old Testament by Dr. Floyd N. Jones. I am convinced that the
