Let Prophecy Analyze ItselfAllowing Biblical prophesies of the future to organize and interpret themselvesPublisher: Credo House PublishersISBN 978-1-62586-355-3 Available soon at participating bookstores both physical and virtual.

He then follows different storylines through the resulting data to report the meaning of the resulting pattern of events. Once events are put into their proper relationships, the actual content of each event is reapplied. The following storylines are then followed through and reported: Excerpts from the book's introduction |
