Book excerpt: Attempting to understand and interpret Bible prophecy has been the goal of Bible students from every generation since the prophecies were first written, read, and made public. Each succeeding generation interpreted Bible prophecy with the knowledge and mindset they possessed. Each generation, from the time the book of Revelation became available to the public, attempted to make each prophecy personal, applying it to themselves for the day in which they lived and experienced, believing it applied to them “living in the last days”. We all have absorbed, accepted, and have believed what we have been taught from those living in the generation before us. Many people today are satisfied with the past interpretations and understandings of Bible prophecy which they learned from others and have no interest in seeking a possible better conclusion or prophetic interpretation. But what about this generation? Should we be content abiding beneath the understanding of the people which lived generations before us? Unless a person sets aside preconceived ideas of Bible prophecy, then what they have been taught, by those who were taught by others, will continue to believe and teach the same truth and errors to future generations. We need to study the Bible for ourselves to be sure what we believe is the truth as per the Bible, as it applies to our generation. The timely day in which we live does not allow us to just accept the past opinion of others. “Who shall ascend into the hill of the LORD? or who shall stand in his holy place? He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart; who hath not lifted up his soul unto vanity, nor sworn deceitfully. He shall receive the blessing from the LORD, and righteousness from the God of his salvation. This is the generation of them that seek him, that seek thy face, O Jacob. Selah.” Psalm 24:3-6 KJV BIBLE PROPHECY: IT’S ALL ABOUT WORSHIP Earl B. Schrock
