Prophetic Gleanings

From Daniel and Revelation

There are many sensational books on prophecy available these days which attempt to prove that present day events represent the fulfillment of many Bible prophecies. The problem with so many of these books is they do not “rightly divide the Word of truth.” They confuse God’s prophetic program for Israel with God’s program for His church today, a program which was a mystery kept secret in past ages, but now made manifest by the Holy Spirit through the writings of the Apostle Paul. The two prophetical books of the Bible which are most often studied are the books of Daniel and the Revelation. In Prophetic Gleanings from Daniel and Revelation the late Pastor Ike T. Sidebottom gives a clear presentation of the major prophecies of these books in light of a dispensational view of God’s Word. (61 pp.)

   The “Times of the Gentiles” is a period of human history named by the Lord Jesus Christ according to Luke 21:24.

5. Future Judgments
   “A Great Earthquake” that shall shake the earth from its center to its circumference, and shall cause the stars of the heaven to fall unto the earth, is mentioned by a number of God’s prophets. Christ spoke of “earthquakes” in connection with wars, famines and pestilences (Matthew 24:6). These earthquakes are becoming more frequent and severe ...
6. The Coming World Dictator
   God’s prophecies concerning the “end times” are woven around two outstanding kings. One is the “king of fierce countenance” (Daniel 8:23); and the other is the “King of Kings and Lord of Lords” (Revelation 19:16). The former is the Anti-Christ, a usurper, and he shall obtain his worldwide dominion by “flatteries” (Daniel 11:21). The latter ...

9. The Two Resurrections
   “And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt.” (Daniel 12:2) Two groups of resurrected people are referred to in this verse. They are those who shall awake to “everlasting life” and those who shall come forth to “shame and ...
