"The time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but wanting to have their ears tickled, they will accumulate for themselves teachers in accordance to to their own desires; and will turn away their ears from the truth, and will turn aside to myths" (2 Tim. 4:3-4).
Fulfilled prophecy is something that sets the Bible apart from all other religious books. There are 26 other books that people of faith believe are divinely inspired. And none of these writings contain any specific fulfilled prophecies. There are no fulfilled prophecies in the Qur'an, the Hindu Vedas, the Bhagavad-Gita, the sayings of Buddha and Confucius, or in the Book of Mormon. The Bible on the other hand is filled with fulfilled prophecy. In fact, 27% of the Bible spoke prophetically at the time it was written. And the authors of the Bible did not just predict a couple of vague things like Jeane Dixon or Nostradamus. The Old Testament alone contains hundreds of very specific prophecies that have already come to pass. The fact that these prophecies were literally fulfilled gives us the intellectual basis for believing that future, unfulfilled prophecies regarding the rapture of the church, the thousand year reign of Christ on earth, etc. will also be literally fulfilled.

THE END TIMES: Ten Upcoming Events in Bible Prophecy(DVD) by Charlie Campbell What does the Bible say about the “end times”?

Find out where the world is headed in this clear overview of ten end time Bible prophecies. This DVD by Charlie Campbell discusses prophecies surrounding the Rapture, the coming time of tribulation, the invasion of Israel mentioned in Ezekiel 38-39, Armageddon, the Second Coming of Christ, the 1,000 year reign of Christ, eternity in the New Jerusalem, and more!

THE SECOND COMING, PRETERISM, AND THE BOOK OF REVELATION(DVD) by Charlie Campbell Preterism is the view that the events spoken about in Matthew 24 and the Book of Revelation have been largely or completely fulfilled in the events leading up to and surrounding the destruction of Jerusalem by the Romans in A.D. 70. Preterism (from the Latin word for past) is growing in popularity. Could this view be valid? What did the early church think about these passages (Matt. 24 and the Book of Revelation)? In this hour long teaching, Charlie Campbell examines the preterist position, the verses often cited to support their view, and gives numerous reasons why preterism should be rejected as an incorrect understanding of Bible prophecy.
