The God That Answers by Fire
I’m going to take the liberty this week to tell you about two new books I’ve just released, both available on Amazon in Kindle and print editions. They are part of my Patreon project, in which I teach Bible prophecy in a little different way. By that I mean, I focus almost exclusively on prophecies already fulfilled, rather than future topics (such as the antichrist and Mark of the Beast). It’s true that others do those topics much better than I can; guys like Mark Hitchcock and Jeff Kinley are stellar.
In addition to these two books, The God That Answers by Fire, and Zechariah 2, I will be re-releasing It’s the End of the World as We Know It (and I feel fine) soon.
Although these books are small—I’m very honestly trying to provide amazing information in smaller packages, giving people every reason to read a book—they took 18 months to prepare and publish, and are the result of many trips to Israel and much research. I have always enjoyed doing hands-on, original research, so that I have visited the places I write about, adding authenticity to the writing.
The God That Answers by Fire looks at seven prophecies: five have been fulfilled, one is being fulfilled, and one is yet future. Again, I’m focusing on things you might not have heard before. If you like these books, consider writing a review on Amazon, but more importantly, share them with your kids, nephews, nieces, and anyone else searching for the meaning to life. It is my contention, the foundation of my work, that anyone can find God by learning about Bible prophecy—God revealing history in advance.
All of Scripture points to Jesus Christ as our Redeemer.
And I fell at his feet to worship him. But he said to me, “See that you do not do that! I am your fellow servant, and of your brethren who have the testimony of Jesus. Worship God! For the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.” (Revelation 19:10)
The catalyst for The God That Answers was a visit to Mount Carmel in northern Israel, the site of Elijah’s spiritual duel with the 400 prophets of Baal. I read the account in 1 Kings 18, right there where it happened. Intrigued by the story, I began thinking. As God sent fire from heaven that day, consuming the altar, I believe He is answering us today, revealing Himself as the only true God.
For those of us that believe, this is obvious. But it isn’t obvious to many people in your life. Co-workers, relatives, friends. And people from all walks of life wonder at some point if God is real.
Bible prophecy is proof of God’s existence.
I have also been thinking of the story of my friend, Vic Kennett, founder and CEO of Kerusso, the world’s largest Christian apparel company. I’ve known him for years. In 2012, he published Change Your Shirt, Change the World, and in it, details his own story of coming to the Lord. Bible prophecy was the catalyst. Identifying as an atheist in junior high(!), Vic went to a garage sale with his mother and there paid a quarter for a copy of Hal Lindsey’s The Late Great Planet Earth. He told me that he couldn’t explain away Bible prophecy. A few years later, he started Kerusso, which just celebrated selling 50 million t-shirts! Each one has a scripture that shares the Gospel. An amazing story, and all because God can reveal history in advance.
For those seeking the meaning of life, for peace, to fill the hole within (Ecclesiastes 3:11), I think fulfilled prophecy from the Bible is that path. It is the greatest evangelism tool we have today, and while the field is white unto harvest, very few pastors and churches teach prophecy. This is a tragedy.
So I focus on these amazing prophecies and provide some detail you have not heard before. My visit to the Israeli neighborhood of Mishkenot Sha’ananim, just west of Jerusalem’s Old City, will astonish you. It is also the focus of the entire short book, Zechariah 2.
Zechariah 2 focuses on the first neighborhood built outside Jerusalem’s Old City walls, in the 1860s. It fulfilled the prophecy from the second chapter of Zechariah, recorded 2,500 years ago. I promise you won’t be disappointed.
Zechariah 2 is the first in a series of booklets (50 pages) that I plan. I’m already writing the second and third installments, and each is filled with color photos and images that illustrate the topic. Most photos are mine.
These books are perfect for small groups, or any gathering of people studying the Bible. I have also priced them below the retail prices of most books. This is another effort to make the books accessible to anyone.
I appreciate you having a look. I have a lot of readers from RaptureReady. I’ve heard from thousands of you over the last 20 years. You are my best source for helping distribute these books. I will be promoting these for a long time, and I appreciate your partnership!
Finally, I would ask that you consider becoming a monthly subscriber to my Patreon page. Some join for free, but there is also an option for you to contribute a small amount each month; this helps me continue my work. Under the “Join for free” tab you’ll see another, “See membership options.” You can contribute $5 per month, $20 per month, or another amount if you choose. For that, use the $20 button and you’ll see instructions for a different amount. This gives you access to each article, podcast, and newsletter I produce. You will also have access to an ebook for each new title I publish. Give it prayerful consideration, and I thank you.
