This series of short articles on Biblical prophecy kicks off with the events of the 20th century. It's exciting to see events foretold thousands of years ago begin to unfold in our era.

Biblical prophecy can be overwhelming and confusing. However, roughly 25% of all verses in the Bible contain prophetic statements. Therefore, having a basic grasp of prophecy is very important to understanding the Bible.

Thank you for your readership!
