Book Written by Local Menomonee Falls Author

This is a book written by a local Menomonee Falls resident. It not only offers a look at the prophecies Jesus fulfilled in the form of short stories, this book includes Bible study techniques explained in plain, simple English a child can understand. If you like, I can attend local meetings to cover a few simple methods in person. No group is too small or large. Feel free to contact me for more details.

This book belongs in the hands of every Christian. The condition of the world at this time dictates the urgency of this message. This is the first in a series of books covering the prophecies fulfilled by Jesus, that will be released as soon as they are written. I planned on writing a book about the prophecies Jesus fulfilled for a long time. As I was reading through the Bible, I asked myself a question when I finished John's Gospels. I asked why Jesus' disciples had such a difficult time understanding most of the scriptures Jesus shared with them. As a matter of fact, Jesus brought up the purpose of His ministry a number of times. Each time Jesus began teaching about the prophecies written about Himself, prophecies He was fulfilling before their eyes and others He was about to fulfill, His disciples changed the subject. Each time Jesus' disciples preferred to discuss which one was the greatest among them. Having learned to look deeper into subjects the Bible repeats, I had no choice but to ask myself; why is this particular subject repeated so many times? Why is it one of a handful of stories found in each of the four Gospels? What is the spiritual meaning?

As I began writing the first book about the Prophecies Fulfilled by Jesus, I was surprised to see a number of specific sequences locked away in the pages of the Bible. The first few prophecies seem to be simple, but each offers a different challenge when I proceeded to locate parallel texts in the New Testament. I could easily see the Bible also recorded a series of important Bible study rules and lessons which revealed a number of spiritual symbols pointing to the Messiah. Following these lessons is a series of prophecies explaining the role of the priests and Levites. After a number of prophecies explaining how Levites were supposed to represent the Messiah, the Bible moves to a new series showing how those religious leaders were actually going to treat Jesus. The final series in the first book of this series is found at the end of Deuteronomy where Moses is preparing Israel to cross into the promised land. See the parallel between preparation to enter the promised land and final days in this world? This series of prophecies not only pointed to mistakes religious leaders made in Jesus' day, they clearly point to the last days. It became obvious, Jesus' message will be largely ignored in the closing moments of this world.Β
