Where Are We in Bible Prophecy? - The Trumpet Daily
One third of the Bible is prophecy. Where are we now on the prophetic time line?
One third of the Bible is devoted to prophecy, and 90 percent of that is specifically for the latter days. The entire gospel of Jesus revolved around prophecy—what would happen in the latter days. Peter’s epistle says the Church has “a more sure word of prophecy.” Paul wrote to the Thessalonians about end-time events in the Church leading to the return of Christ. The Apostle John recorded the book of Revelation, the prophecy of all prophecies.
Why is it that so many people neglect such a large part of the Bible?
The Bible is the only accurate guide to the future. It is like a beacon of understanding in a very dark and confused world. Anyone willing to believe God’s Word can see what is coming. No one needs to be in the dark when it comes to knowing what will happen in the latter days.
The Prophet Amos said, “Surely the Lord God will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets” (Amos 3:7).
On this episode of the Trumpet Daily, Stephen Flurry examines current events and explains where we are on the time line of Bible prophecy.

Archaeology Filled With Hope
Critics dismiss much of the Bible as tall tales and outright lies. Archaeology, however, tells a different story. Proof of the biblical narrative sometimes lies just a few feet beneath the surface. Learn the inspiring significance of biblical archaeology to your eternal life—next, on The Key of David, with Gerald Flurry.
The organization that produces the Key of David program has exhibited two archaeological clay seals in Edmond, Oklahoma. The seals bore the insignia of two evil Judean princes who tried to execute the Prophet Jeremiah. Request Gerald Flurry’s free booklet, Jeremiah and the Greatest Vision in the Bible, to learn how these tiny seals relate to your life.
These precious artifacts are proof that Jeremiah lived, and proof that the Bible is true. God gave Jeremiah a special commission to uproot the throne of King David and to transplant it in Ireland. Discover the remarkable story of how Jeremiah succeeded, even though Bible scholars believe he failed. Grasp the marvelous eternal vision emanating from King David’s throne. You need this rare truth, found in Jeremiah and the Greatest Vision in the Bible.
You will also receive a copy of our free reprint article, “Archaeology Thunders: ‘Behold Your God!’” The incredible story of the Prophet Jeremiah is just one of many biblical accounts verified by the archaeological record. Repeatedly, biblical archaeologists have offered irrefutable proof of the existence of a Creator. Each artifact echoes that thunderous message: “Behold your God!”
Your order will include a special copy of the Philadelphia Trumpet newsmagazine. Immerse yourself in this October/November 2013 archaeology issue. Uncover the rich history buried just below the dirt and ruins in Jerusalem and beyond.

Is There Life After Death? - The Trumpet Daily
The simple answer to a question that has perplexed humanity throughout history!
Perhaps there is no more important question than what happens after death. And yet it’s a question that very few in this world ever consider.
There are generally two schools of thought regarding life and death. In the religious sphere, there are several variations to the immortal soul doctrine, which teaches that the dead are not dead but living. Outside religion, there is the idea that God doesn’t exist and assumes death ends all.
Both of these ideas are false. Both are inventions of human imagination. Neither of them carry any weight of proof as support. They’re just superstitious ideas—invented by men.
In 6,000 years of human history, no one yet has ever come back from the dead to tell us anything about the experience—except for one individual. Yet this world rejects Him—either denying His existence or rejecting His message. Thousands witnessed the last agony and death of Jesus Christ. At least 500 saw Him after His resurrection from the dead. But precious few have ever grasped what He taught about life and death.

Brexit Exposes UK’s Many Infirmities
https://www.thetrumpet.com/article/14024.2.0.0/brexit-exposes-uks-many-infirmities
The Trumpet isn’t the only one questioning Britain’s future and whether the UK has the health to survive the coming months and years. “Britain Is Sailing Into a Storm With No One at the Wheel,” warned the Economist Sunday: “Britain could be thrust into talks under a lame-duck leader with no clear notion of what Brexit should look like or mandate to negotiate. All against a background of intensifying economic turmoil and increasingly ugly divides on Britain’s streets. The country is sailing into a storm. And no one is at the wheel.”
Hope and optimism are important in times of crisis and uncertainty, but we can’t allow hope and optimism to blind us to reality. Britain (and the world at large) is in trouble. We must be ready and willing to ask why? This question was answered many years ago by a man named Hosea, an ancient prophet to the people of Israel and Judah. The biblical book of Hosea is filled with prophecies about the end time, and it is filled, more specifically, with prophecies about end-time events in Britain. (Britain today is the descendant of Ephraim, a name used repeatedly throughout Hosea’s writings.)
Let’s consider just two of Hosea’s descriptions of Ephraim, or Britain, in the end time. In Hosea 5:11-12, the prophet says that “Ephraim is oppressed and broken in judgment, because he willingly walked after the commandment. Therefore will I be unto Ephraim as a moth .…” Here, God compares end-time Britain with a moth-eaten garment. Have you ever gone to your drawer and dug out a shirt that you assumed was ready to be worn, but the moment you went to put it on, you realized that it had been devoured by a moth and was full of holes? That is Britain’s current state, and Brexit is revealing that the UK is ridden with holes!
“Ephraim, he hath mixed himself among the people …” (Hosea 7:8). This is a prophecy that end-time Britain would intertwine itself with foreign people, foreign customs, foreign religions and foreign entities—like the European Union. Verse 9 shows that this leads to devastation: “Strangers have devoured his strength, and he knoweth it not .…” Britain today, as Amos prophesied, has no “strength,” which means “might, power, substance, wealth and force.” Britain is sick—very, very sick—and a major part of the cause is its embrace of foreigners and foreign institutions, like the European Union. This isn’t a politically correct message, but it is a truth backed by reality. (It isn’t biblical justification of racism and bigotry either!)
There is a lot of talk among Leavers right now that the time has come for the resurrection of the British lion. Hosea says that Ephraim’s personality and behavior in the end time is closer to that of a silly dove! Hosea 7:11 says that “Ephraim also is like a silly dove without heart .…” There’s no strength, no clarity of vision and leadership, no force or vigor—just weakness, from top to bottom.
Other prophecies also describe the state of Ephraim in the end time. Isaiah 1:5-7 say that “the whole head is sick, and the whole heart faint. From the sole of the foot even unto the head there is no soundness in it; but wounds, and bruises, and putrifying sores: they have not been closed, neither bound up, neither mollified with ointment. Your country is desolate, your cities are burned with fire: your land, strangers devour it in your presence, and it is desolate, as overthrown by strangers.”
That’s a hard truth to accept—and deliver—BUT WHAT AN APT DESCRIPTION.
We would all love to believe that Britain is entering “bright, sunlit uplands,” but the truth of the matter is that Britain is plummeting into the dark abyss of total political, economic and social breakdown.
“There are no adequate words to describe the rolling political, economic and constitutional crises that have developed in the days since Britain voted, by a narrow majority, to leave the European Union,” wrote Henry Porter in Vanity Fair. “The country has been swept by a kind of political Ebola .…”
That is a grim view, but it is, sadly, reality.
Why the Israel-Turkey Détente Is Doomed
https://www.thetrumpet.com/article/14018.2.0.0/why-the-israel-turkey-detente-is-doomed
Bible prophecy indicates that any close relationship with Turkey will backfire. End-time prophecies in the book of Obadiah not only declare that Israel will have the developing relationship we see now, but also that the relationship will lead to a shocking betrayal. Read “Why Turkey Matters” by Trumpet managing editor Joel Hilliker to understand what will come as a result of closer Israeli-Turkish ties.
