Yes, Les Feldick spends significant time teaching prophecy because Scripture itself presents it as a sure and reliable word from God.
Les does not dwell on prophecy merely because it is exciting or thrilling, but because the Bible, especially 2 Peter 1, calls it a more sure word of prophecy. He teaches prophecy so believers can rest on the absolute truth of Scripture and confirm that prophecy is directed to Israel within time frames.
2 Peter 1:19 — This verse directly answers why Les emphasizes prophecy: Peter calls it a more sure word, deserving our attention.
The Bible presents prophecy as a sure word from God that believers should heed. In 2 Peter 1, Peter contrasts his own eyewitness experience of the Transfiguration with the prophetic word, calling it a more sure word. This shows that prophecy is not secondary but a stronger confirmation of God's truth.
Les teaches prophecy not as a personal obsession but because it is Scripture-grounded. He points to 2 Peter 1, where Peter calls prophecy a more sure word of prophecy, even compared to the Mount of Transfiguration experience. Les also explains that true prophecy is directed to the nation of Israel and usually within a time frame. He stresses that when you compare Scripture with Scripture, you stand on solid rock, and he urges people to search the Scriptures rather than just take his word.
Les does not focus on prophecy merely because it is exciting or thrilling, but because it is a more sure word of prophecy. He draws this from 2 Peter 1 and the account of the Mount of Transfiguration, where Peter, James, and John heard God's voice. Prophecy is even more certain than that experience, so it deserves careful attention.
Les notes that true prophecy is directed to the nation of Israel and usually within a time frame. He gives Daniel 9 as the perfect example. He also emphasizes that when you study Daniel you must study Revelation, and when you study Revelation you must study Daniel.
Les teaches that when you compare Scripture with Scripture from Genesis to Revelation, you are on as solid a rock as you can get. He explains that prophecy foretold events hundreds and thousands of years in advance. Because all of it has come true, believers can rest on the word of God as absolute.
Not a Personal Obsession
Les explains that he teaches prophecy because it is grounded in Scripture, not because it is merely exciting, thrilling, or because he wants to exhaust a topic.

The Mystery of the Church: Why It’s Not in the Old Testament
And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my spirit, that your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your young men shall see visions, your old men shall dream dreams. And on my servants and on my handmaidens I will pour out in those days of my spirit, and they shall prophesy.
Prophecy Fulfilled
Les teaches that so much prophecy in Scripture has already come true, showing the word of God is absolute and something believers can rest on.
Acts 4 Explained: The Only Name That Can Save You
Well I read the first paragraph, and in so many words what it said is, don't you try to interpret Scripture on your own. You wait until you hear it from behind the pulpit. Now you see, that's where people are getting led down a primrose path. Some pulpits are alright, but there are a lot of them that aren't. So we have to get to the place where we can discern the Scriptures.
Daniel and Revelation Connected
Les explains that when you study Daniel you must study Revelation, and when you study Revelation you must study Daniel, showing why he spends time on prophecy.
What Does Revelation 22 Really Mean? Eternity Explained
I've said on this program down as long as I've been teaching that I do not feel that salvation is limited to a few. The potential is there for everyone, whosoever will may come. And then He goes on to say, verse 18, I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book. If any man shall add to these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written.
2 Peter 1:19: We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts:
Peter calls prophecy a more sure word even after witnessing the Transfiguration, which drives Les's emphasis.
2 Peter 1:21: For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.
This verse shows that prophecy came from the Holy Spirit, not human will, grounding Les's teaching that prophecy is from God.
No, Les says he doesn't want to focus on one topic until it is exhausted. He teaches prophecy because it is a more sure word of prophecy, as Peter wrote in 2 Peter 1:19, not because it is sensational.
Because the Bible calls it a more sure word, and because prophecy foretold events hundreds and thousands of years in advance that have all come true. That shows the word of God is absolute, and believers can rest on it.
He teaches from 2 Peter 1 that even Peter's eyewitness experience on the Mount of Transfiguration is surpassed by the certainty of prophecy. Therefore prophecy deserves our careful attention.
