commonly acceptable; precisely, the reason for prophetic expression. The future is foretold, and only when prophecy is actualized might a person accept the true value of knowing that prophecy is a Divine expression.

Those upon whom God has bestowed wisdom or the grace of a prophetic message are seldom accepted; they are rejected and even persecuted. Why?

However, it is extremely exciting to have the elements of a puzzle contained within the scriptures, so we can begin to put the pieces together to find the answer. Scholars and theologians think they have the answers, and many different religions have been established based on their theoretical conclusions. Do they have the answer? Which religion has the answer that explains perfectly the prophecy of times past in a today reality? Differences of opinion are the result, and each stands fast waiting to overcome. Perhaps Christianity is meant to be the one single prophecy or concept that ends all argument, but can it be supposed that the Christians are one? Not yet, but destiny dictates that all argument will cease. Records clearly show prophetic history is accurate, and archeology has evidence for most of those realities. Life in a spiritual sense has not changed all that much, except that evil is more prevalent than at any other time in recorded history. Prophetic words do not change, except that they become
