Prophecy Class

James Dickens will teach a Prophecy Class beginning June 17th for 8 weeks on Thursday evenings at 6:30 in room 303.  This will be a power point presentation by author R. Scott Sykes who has studied prophecy for the last 35 years.

R. Scott Sykes Bio

Following Medical School and Internship, I became involved in medical research and have continued in this profession for almost 25 years. During this same period, the study of biblical prophecy became more and more of a focus of study, and it became apparent that the basic principles of research could apply to biblical prophecy. Because prophetic scriptures are found throughout the Bible, it is obvious that a comprehensive, systematic approach would be useful, if not necessary, for the understanding of prophecy. A literal view of prophecy clearly indicates that one last generation would see the various signs given scripturally, indicating that we are indeed living in the last generation - the generation that would see all remaining prophetic events occur, including the Second Coming of Christ Jesus.  It is also abundantly clear that we have a mandate from Jesus to watch for these signs; He made it clear that the last generation should be fully aware of their unique place in history. That is the purpose of this class - to watch for the signs, and to give hope and encouragement (1 Thessalonians5:11) to our brothers and sisters as we await the coming of our Lord.
