So, many foun- dational teachings won’t be touched upon, except to challenge and correct some I see as having error. I do think beginning prophecy students will no doubt find much benefit from the things presented, however they just may need to further research and study into back- ground information that I haven’t chosen to expound upon in here. Therefore if some core concepts and conclusions found within the book are asserted as being true or taken for granted in the text as being such, but not supported or proven out, it is not because I have forgotten to do so, or because no scriptural support exists, but because it’s just not the intention of this work of writing; which is basically an endeavor to prove some of the ‘harder-to-prove’ concepts that I have come to hold to, and believe to be true. True understanding of biblical prophecy can only come from the Lord, “for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.” (Rev. 19:10) It vii The Prophetic Harmony of the Lamp of God is a gift of his grace that he bestows according to his own will, and we cannot unlock its secrets otherwise. “And if any man think that he knoweth any thing, he knoweth nothing yet as he ought to know.” (1 Cor. 8:2) This book is meant to be closely studied and restudied with your heart and your mind and your bible wide open, as we will pour over many verses of scripture; and some we will go over more than once for clarity, and because of the depth they contain. What follows is intended for the mature minded, as we will engage in prophecies and concepts that can be very unsettling and even devas- tating for immature Christians. What the Lord has ordained to come upon this world and specific nations that have forsaken him is very sobering to realize, and even more so to understand. This research will challenge you to re-examine and look afresh at many long-held ideas and beliefs that have blinded so many to the stark truth in God’s Word. So it will REQUIRE you to adopt the heart of a child, willing to actually hear things that you haven’t yet, because the most important mysteries of God are reserved for “babes.” “I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent (“experts”), and hast revealed them unto babes: even so, Father; for so it seemed good in thy sight.” (Luke 10:21) God says that, “to this man will I look, even to him that is poor and of a contrite spirit, and trembleth at my word.” (Isaiah 66:2) When one embraces the entirety of the Word, true blessings of God always follow. My intention is to present a body and fabric of scripture revealed to me that all agree and harmonize together to establish sound prophetic truths. And really above all, to show just some of the wonder of how God has so beautifully designed the prophetic plan of our salvation in such a marvelous way. Indeed, “he hath made every thing beautiful in his time.” (Eccl. 3:11) Amen. viii - Section 1 - Daniel’s 70th Week P “And I will give thee the treasures of darkness, and hidden riches of secret places, that thou mayest know that I, the LORD, which call thee by thy name, am the God of Israel.” (Isaiah 45:3) 9
