This leads us to a seventh important principle of Bible prophecy that Jesus stated a couple times: “I have told you now before it happens, so that when it does happen you will believe” (John 14:29, NIV; cf. 13:19). Did Jesus say, “I’ll tell you ahead of time so that you will know the future in advance? In fact, I’ll help you make a chart that lines up all the events so that you can spot your place in history at all times”?
