Description

This course is adapted from the acclaimed live seminar The Story of Hope, which toured Central California from 2013–2019. It aims to teach and understand the apocalyptic prophecies of Daniel (Old Testament) and Revelation (New Testament) as they apply to life in 2025 and beyond. In Prophecy as a Story, you’ll explore key prophecies such as the 1,260-day, 2,300-day, and 70-week prophecies from Daniel, as well as symbolic messages from Revelation, including the Pure Woman, Harlot Babylon, and the Mark of the Beast. This course uniquely presents these Biblical prophecies as a logical, interconnected narrative, revealing God’s overarching plan throughout history and into the future. Designed for both new and seasoned Bible readers, the course simplifies complex topics, helping you uncover the deeper meaning behind these ancient texts. Whether you're seeking to strengthen your faith or gain a better understanding of Biblical prophecy, Prophecy as a Story will equip you with the knowledge and confidence to interpret the symbols, timelines, and messages hidden within these prophetic books. When you're finished, you will be well equipped to continue your studies into prophecy or any other aspect of Scripture; and it is our prayer that you will understand our place in God's prophetic history as we anticipate the return of Jesus Christ.
