One of my greatest ambitions at age 13 was to study all the prophecies of the Bible carefully and piece them all together in a single linear sequence, so we could get a more clear idea of what lies ahead—a Biblical Your Life Between Now and Eternity. After years of research and prophetic model building, I came to see that such a feat was impossible, because the individual prophecies are pieces of more than one and more than two independent scenarios of events, dependent upon different sets of human and divine circumstances. As Ellen White said, “it should be remembered that the promises and threatenings of God are alike conditional [Selected Messages—1, p. 67].” Not all the prophecies of the Bible have or will come to pass. They depend on circumstances that are not actualized. As Paul said, “Love never fails. But whether there are prophecies, they will fail; whether there are tongues, they will cease; whether there is knowledge, it shall vanish away. For we know in part and we prophesy in part. But when that is perfect has come, then that which is in part will be done away.” 1 Corinthians 13: 8-10, NKJV.
