Three Ways of Interpretation of Prophecy

This is a PowerPoint presentation (created with LibreOffice Impress) that I made for my wife Tess to share at a local church.

It used to be by clicking on the image the next slide would appear, but now the slides are visible by scrolling. I don’t understand why. This is new for me.

About James Arendt

I was raised in the Hegewisch neighborhood of Chicago, Illinois, served in the USAF from 1970 to 1974, honorably discharged and became a full-time evangelist for Christ living 40 years in Japan, 3.5 years in Russia, and a few months in other countries such as Finland, Poland, Estonia, Latvia, South Korea, Taiwan and mainland China where I also served the King of Kings, Jesus, as an Ambassador for His Kingdom. My full bio.

If you like this article and my work on this website, you can show your appreciation by sending me a gift. This website and my daily work on it adding new articles is because of faithful followers of Jesus Christ whose hearts the Lord touched to send us a gift towards our support. I'm now 73 and get only a small social security pension from the US government because I worked only 10 years under the Social Security system. My wife and I live frugally in the Philippines, where the cost of living is much lower than in the USA, but we still need to pay for the domain name, hosting fees, and visa fees. We need and appreciate your support! Thank you so much!

Even without a PayPal account you can use your credit card to send me a donation and I will get it through PayPal! Just click on the donate button and you will see an option to send through your credit card. I think a debit card will work as well.

How do I obtain eternal life and stop worrying about death?

• Recognize you have violated in some way the laws of God. Violation of legal law is called a crime. Violation of God’s moral law is called a sin. For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; - Romans 3:23

As it is written (in the Bible), There is none righteous, no, not one: - Romans 3:10

• Recognize the penalty of sin: Death! For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. - Romans 6:23

Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned: - Romans 5:12

• Recognize Jesus is the Saviour! Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. - John 14:6

Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved. - Acts 4:12

And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house. - Acts 16:31

• Recognize our lives our sinful by nature. We can do nothing of our own to merit eternal life. Salvation is completely by the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ! For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: - Ephesians 2:8

But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away. - Isaiah 64:6

Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost; - Titus 3:5

• Recognize Christ paid the sin debt we owe! But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him. - Romans 5:8-9

• Recognize you must receive Christ as your personal Saviour! For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. - Romans 10:13

• Ask Jesus to be your Saviour!

Dear Jesus:

I know I am a sinner. I know if I were to die right now, I could not go to Heaven. I ask you, right now, to come into my heart, forgive me of my sin, and be my Saviour. Thank you for saving me and giving me eternal life. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

If you prayed that prayer with all sincerity, you have passed from death to life and have been born again into the family of God!

  1. I think this is brilliant, James. Look forward to having a copy of this when complete!

    You probably have caught and fixed slide 6, alone instead of along.

    Also the 4th kind of interpretation of Revelation which treats the symbols as representations of political and social structures in general and how the church relates to them. Jacques Ellul’s commentary is an example, and I have seen others but can’t remember their names offhand. Probably not important, but someone might ask about this view.

  2. Your Power Point presentation, James, seems to be a good introductory explanation of the 3 views of Prophecy in a Basic Bible Class forum. The one slide (#13) is a tightly-knitted chart display of the Historicist time-line that may be a problem for some people to follow – charts and graphs can be a bit much to handle. But if all the students were given paper printouts of the slides as copies for them to follow along with the teacher’s discussion then I think that may help a lot. And then they can take the printouts home with them and review everything and make note of what is not quite clear.
    It is a good idea using Power Point presentations for the Bible Class sessions!

  3. James, it is a pleasure to watch the development of this project. This power point should be distributed as far and as widely as possible.

    A note on the temple of God: there are two words for temple in the NT. One is hieron, meaning the whole temple edifice, and the other naos, an ancient Greek word, meaning the inner place where God dwells, In the Jewish temple it refers to the holy of holies and perhaps the holy place as well. After the book of Acts, hieron is only used once, where it refers to the temple of the OT order of priests. (1Cor. 9.11) All the other instances, in Paul and also the book of Revelation, of the word temple, are translations of naos.

    As slide 19 makes clear, naos almost always refers to the individual Christian or the Christian church as a whole.

  4. This is excellent, James, and perhaps you will continue building upon the foundation. Are you planning to have this uploaded to any other sites, archive.org, or Bitchute, etc.?

    • No Ron, I didn’t intend to upload it anywhere else except to my website and a link to Facebook. You see it has a download link. You’re welcome to share it and upload it anywhere you like.

      It’s Sunday afternoon now in the Philippines. My wife shared the PowerPoint at our church this morning and I was next to her to fill in some things. Because the church has a projector that showed the slides clearly, it went very well, praise God! I could tell the congregation was listening. It was probably new material for them. I don’t think the pastor ever taught them such things. But because he’s a humble servant of Christ, he welcomes us to teach it! How many churches in the USA would allow us to do that? Only our previous church in Guam, but not for the main message on a Sunday! Only maybe for Wednesday night Bible study.

  5. Thank you James, I will share this. I am thrilled by your wife’s courage in showing this PowerPoint in church, and of course, you being right by her side!

    And I think the answer to your question, not very many churches in America would allow this to happen. Perhaps things will begin to change now. Bravo to your pastor. God continue to bless your efforts.
