    About this ebook

    Want to know about future events mentioned in the Bible? Are you interested in end time prophecies?
    Journey to Future Events: Volume 1 covers twenty-four interesting topics, and author James McClain presents historical and current world events, going on to discuss the future events that the Bible says will occur in the end times. He helps readers understand how eschatology—the study of the end times—is based on two principles that are critical to helping us understand the future events in the Bible: knowing the God of the Bible, and knowing that the Bible is God’s Word.
    The desire is that one or more of the topics will be of interest and you will dig deeper! The bottom line is this—studying God’s Word is how you get to know Jesus as your Lord and Savior.

      About the Author

      I would like to

      thank my wife, Michelle, for being very supportive of my passion to study biblical end-time events. This includes all the work going into the video series and the work going into this book. She has persevered through the many hours I have spent reading, researching, and writing each month’s manuscript. You are very understanding, loving, and caring. I love you.

      I wish to dedicate this book to my grandfather, the Reverend Charles F. Golden (1887–1963). He was a major influence in my life as I grew up. He was a pastor for forty-three years. I remember spending a lot of time at his home, helping on the farm and going fishing with him. I remember a number of people saying that Reverend Golden was the Billy Graham of his day. I look forward to being in heaven with him. Many times during the hours put into the videos and this book, I have thought of you, Grandpa.

      Even when I am old and gray, do not forsake me, my God, till I declare your power to the next generation, your mighty acts to all who are to come.

      —Psalm 71:18

      He said to them, go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation.

      —Mark 16:15

      You must speak my words to them, whether they listen or fail to listen, for they are rebellious.

      —Ezekiel 2:7

      Preface

      This book has been in the making for a number of years. It is the result of accumulating a series of manuscripts used in the production of monthly videos placed on the website journeytofutureevents.com. It was determined that after two years, twenty-four of the manuscripts would be placed in this book.

      This book may be used as a standalone read, or you can coordinate this book with the videos located on the website.

      These manuscripts are biblically based and the topics chosen by the author. Each topic is related to end-time events as spelled out in the Bible. The desire is that readers will find interest in the topics discussed, dig deeper for their own understanding, and come to the place where they will have a true relationship with God through His Son, Jesus.

      There is only one way to eternal life in heaven and that is through Jesus.

      Christian Eschatology

      Welcome to Journey to Future Events, Volume 1. In this book I present historical and current world events and discuss the future events the Bible says will occur in the end times.

      There are two key principles that must be laid out and explained before we jump into the exciting world of eschatology. These principles are critical to helping you understand the future topics I will be discussing.

      The first principle is knowing God of the Bible. This will be discussed in chapter 2.

      The second principle is the Bible is God’s Word. This will be discussed in chapter 3.

      If you know the God of the Bible, He will enlighten you and give you understanding as you dig into his Word.

      The bottom line is this—I want you to have a personal relationship with God. Each of us during our lifetime must either accept or reject the God of the Bible. The Bible is very clear that if you accept God’s Son,
