What is Bible Prophecy. Simply put, Bible Prophecy is God given history in advance. God’s word in both testaments are history and prophecy: The Old Testament begins with Genesis, history up to the time of the birth of the nation Israel. It then deals with Israel in its present. Later, Israel is given prophecy in Daniel that would unfold its future until the Messiah would appear and He would begin to build His church, and then the doom of the nation would come. There was also the promise of the resurrection with a Messianic Earthly kingdom and a blessed eternal state to follow.
