Why Is There No Prophecy Being Fulfilled Today?

Direct Answer

No prophecy is being fulfilled today because all true prophecy centers on the nation of Israel, and God is currently dealing with the church, not with Israel in a prophetic sense.

Les Feldick teaches that the church age has no prophecy directed to it. World events are only preparing the stage for future prophecy, not fulfilling it. The remaining seven years of Daniel's prophetic timeline are still future.

Key Scriptures

Daniel 9:24 — This verse establishes a specific prophetic time frame for Israel, showing that prophecy is time-bound and directed to a particular people.

Joel 2:28 — This Old Testament prophecy, quoted by Les, is an example of prophecy directed to Israel, not to the church.

What Does the Bible Say About Prophecy?

The Bible connects prophecy to the nation of Israel and to specific times. Daniel 9:24 declares to Daniel, "Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city, to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most Holy." This sets a prophetic time frame for Israel. Joel 2:28 similarly looks forward to a day when God will pour out His Spirit on all flesh, an event tied to Israel's future. The Bible does not give the church a similar prophetic timetable.

What Does Les Feldick Teach About Prophecy and the Church Age?

Les teaches that all true prophecy centers on the nation of Israel and is placed in a specific time frame. He stresses repeatedly that there is no prophecy concerning the church. Therefore, no prophecy is being fulfilled today. While we see events like the increase in earthquakes, world government, world economy, world religion, and even technology that make prophecy believable, these are not the wheels of prophecy turning. They are simply getting the world ready for when the prophetic events do begin. The remaining seven years of Daniel's 70th week are still future, awaiting fulfillment when God again deals with Israel.

What Is "True Prophecy" According to Les Feldick?

Les defines true Bible prophecy as God foretelling something and placing it in a specific time frame. He uses Daniel's 490 years as an example of God giving exact timing. He says this kind of prophecy is always associated only with the nation of Israel. The church age has nothing like this.

Why Are Current Events Not the Fulfillment of Prophecy?

Les explains that even though we see the world getting ready for world government, world economy, and a world religion, that is still not the wheels of prophecy turning. It is simply getting ready for when they do turn. Prophecy is not being fulfilled per se yet, but the stage is being set.

What Part of Prophecy Remains Unfulfilled?

Les points out that Daniel's prophecy of 490 years determined for Israel were not all fulfilled at Christ's first coming. Only 483 years were fulfilled, leaving seven years remaining. This future seven-year period is called Daniel's 70th week, a time of tribulation for Israel. That fulfillment is yet to happen.

Does Prophecy Apply to the Church?

No. Les explicitly states that the church age has no prophecy concerning it. All true prophecy centers on Israel. The church is not given a prophetic timetable; it is the age of grace. Events today are only preparing the way for prophecy that will take place after the church age.

No Prophecy for the Church

The Wheels of Prophecy Are Not Turning

Les says the increase in earthquakes and the global systems are not the wheels of prophecy turning; they are simply preparing the world for when they do.

The Seven Remaining Years

Les explains that Daniel's 490 years for Israel left seven years unfulfilled at Christ's first coming, which are still future.

Technology Sets the Stage

Les uses satellite technology and the mark of the beast as examples of how prophecy is now believable, but he says it is not being fulfilled yet—only the stage is being set.

Definition of True Prophecy

Les defines true prophecy as God foretelling events within a time frame, and says this is always associated with Israel.

Prophecy Connected to Israel

Les traces prophecy from Genesis 12 onward, saying God foretells everything connected to Israel, including Daniel's 70th week.

Bible Verses

Daniel 9:24: Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city, to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most Holy.

This verse sets a specific prophetic time frame for Israel and is directly referenced by Les in explaining unfulfilled prophecy.

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 as an example of Old Testament prophecy directed to Israel, not to the church.
