For many reasons we find ourselves interested in Biblical teachings on things ahead. Yet despite the avalanche of literature on "end times" matters, we are sometimes left anxious about those coming days. For quite different reasons, we are often fascinated by movies and books about the "post-apocalyptic" world, and all its fictional drama. But aside from the entertainment value, and in view of global trends, such stories can seem too close for comfort. Clearly, some good and reliable news is needed. And that's exactly what God's Word gives us For though the Bible does describe transitional difficulties between now and the next age of the earth, these "birth pains" lead to immensely positive outcomes for the world. Instead of the global catastrophe so often depicted, the real apocalypse (revealing) is that of the long-awaited Messiah, Jesus, and the ultimate healing and flourishing of creation that He will bring about. You are about to embark on an adventure that examines a key aspect of this approaching world: its central and capitol country. The native homeland of our Savior and returning King, it will also be the geographic heartland of His global dominion. According to Biblical prophecies, the sometimes surprising borders of this coming nation will be diligently explored. We will also scout out the how's and why's of its internal structure, with the climax of our journey being the focal province belonging to "The Prince." Since the wealth of Scriptural detail on this often overlooked treasure is immense, this is just the first of a series of expeditions into the approaching dominion of the King of kings. These progressive trips into His realm on the horizon can strengthen our faith and hope with firm knowledge, grounded expectations, and increased vitality in our daily walk with His Spirit.
