Why Is There Increased Interest in Prophecy?

Direct Answer

Yes — increased interest in prophecy comes from its demonstrated accuracy and from modern events and technology making biblical prophecy visibly plausible.

Les Feldick teaches that Bible prophecy is unique because no other religious book foretells events hundreds or thousands of years in advance with the accuracy Scripture shows (Clip 2, Clip 6, Clip 7). He also points out that modern technology now makes prophecy believable, and the world is being prepared for world government, world economy, and world religion (Clip 5, Clip 1). For many, this creates a sudden awareness that prophecy is real and relevant to today.

Key Scriptures

Joel 2:28 — This is the Old Testament prophecy Les quotes as an example of prophecy that is directed to Israel and will be fulfilled in God's time.

Genesis 6:4 — This verse records the presence of giants in the days of Noah, which Les uses to show that biblical details can be understood in a modern setting.

What Does the Bible Say About Prophecy?

The Bible itself gives concrete examples of prophecy being foretold. In Joel 2:28, God says, "And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions." This is an Old Testament prophecy with a specific future fulfillment. Genesis 6:4 also records real historical conditions connected to the days of Noah: "There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown." The Bible speaks of future events with specificity and anchors them in actual history.

What Does Les Feldick Teach About the Rise in Prophecy Interest?

Les Feldick teaches that Bible prophecy is the unique proof that Scripture is the Word of God. No other religious book has made prophecies that were fulfilled centuries later, and the same God who fulfilled the first 90 percent of prophecy will finish the last 10 percent (Clips 2, 6, 7). He distinguishes true Old Testament prophecy from vague future-prediction: God not only foretells events but places them in an exact time frame, and this prophecy is always associated with Israel (Clip 3). He also explains that the world is being prepared for world government, world economy, and world religion — but those preparations are not yet the wheels of prophecy turning (Clip 1). Modern technology such as satellites, telstar, and worldwide newscasts makes prophecy believable, showing how events like the mark of the beast could be implemented (Clip 5). For Les, the fulfilled track record of prophecy is why people are beginning to pay attention: when they see current events and technology aligning with Scripture, interest naturally increases (Clip 4).

What Makes Bible Prophecy Different From Every Other Religious Prediction?

Les Feldick teaches that no other religious book has prophetic statements like the Bible. He points to the track record: hundreds of prophecies were made thousands of years before they happened, and they all came true. Every fulfilled prophecy confirms that this is a supernatural Book. Because the same God fulfilled the first 90 percent of prophecy, He will also finish the last 10 percent.

How Is Modern Technology Making Prophecy Believable?

Les says that in earlier times prophecy was hard to comprehend, but now satellite, telstar, and newscasts from all points of the earth are everyday occurrences, so prophecy is believable. He applies this to the mark of the beast: the idea that people will need a mark to buy and sell is now easy to imagine because of technology. The final fulfillment is not happening yet, but the stage is being set so that God's promises to Israel can come to pass.

Are the Prophetic Wheels Turning Right Now?

Les clarifies that even though we see earthquakes and the whole world getting ready for world government, world economy, and world religion, that is still not the wheels of prophecy turning. It is simply getting everything ready for when the wheels do turn. All prophecy is directed to the nation of Israel, and Les quotes Joel 2:28 as an Old Testament example of such prophecy.

What Is True Prophecy According to Les?

Les says many people think anything that speaks of the future is prophecy, but true Old Testament Bible prophecy includes not only God's foretelling but also His time frame. God's timing is exact — whether it is forty years, seventy years, five hundred years, or a thousand years — the event will happen exactly as God said. This kind of prophecy is always associated only with the nation of Israel.

From the Teaching

Days of Noah Parallel

Les compares the physical conditions in the days of Noah to today's tall, large athletes, showing that unusual biblical details can be understood in a modern setting.

Prophecy Awaits Israel / Stage Being Set

Les explains that prophecy is directed to Israel; the world's current preparation for world government, economy, and religion is setting the stage, not yet the wheels of prophecy turning.

Why Bible Prophecy Is Unique

Les shows that the Bible alone makes prophetic statements hundreds or thousands of years before they happen, and they all come true — this is why he teaches prophecy.

True Prophecy Includes God's Time Frame

Les teaches that Old Testament prophecy foretells events and places them in God's exact time frame, always in connection with Israel.

Fulfilled Prophecy Builds Trust

Les points out that so much prophecy has already been fulfilled and the rest is on the 'handwriting on the wall,' so we can rest on God's Word as absolute truth.

Technology Makes Prophecy Believable

Les teaches that modern technology — satellites, telstar, worldwide newscasts — makes biblical prophecy believable and shows how the mark of the beast could be implemented; the stage is being set.

Unfulfilled Prophecy Confirms the Supernatural Book

Les emphasizes that every fulfilled prophecy confirms the Bible is supernatural, since no other religious book can foretell the future 2,500 years in advance.

God Will Finish What He Started

Les teaches that because God has already fulfilled most prophecy to the last 'jot and tittle,' we can trust Him to finish the rest.

Bible Verses

Joel 2:28: And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions:

Les quotes this verse in Clip 1 to show an Old Testament prophecy that is directed to Israel and has a coming time of fulfillment.

Genesis 6:4: There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown.

Les mentions this verse in Clip 0 while describing the unusual physical conditions in the days of Noah, using it as a comparison to the modern era.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Bible prophecy about the church?

According to Les Feldick, no. He teaches that all prophecy is directed to the nation of Israel. The church is not the subject of prophecy; rather, prophecy belongs to Israel and its future program.

Does current technology mean prophecy is being fulfilled now?

Les says no. The technology is simply setting the stage. For example, buying and selling without a mark is now easy to imagine, but the mark of the beast is not being implemented yet. The stage is being set for future fulfillment.

How can I know the rest of Bible prophecy will come true?

Les emphasizes that God has already fulfilled prophecy to the last jot and tittle. The same God who fulfilled the first 90 percent of prophecy is the God who will finish the last 10 percent, so there is no reason to doubt.
