The True Correlation Between Prophecy and World History can be quite readily understood....

End Time Prophecy = Latter Day History.

While The Biblical Scriptures are not a series of books specifically written upon world history, they do [ in fact ] encapsulate a tremendous amount of Historical Information in the form of its very exacting Biblical Prophecies! Meanwhile, we continue to ignore all of these prophecies at our own peril. After all, they were clearly given to us for a reason... and that reason, was to honestly wake us up - to what is [ factually ] now happening. Yahweh shall [ very soon ] begin winnowing His Own Spiritual Harvest - of: The Wheat from The Tares , The Sheep from The Goats, and His True Servants from The Ba'al Worshipers Of Babylon!

For instance:

• The Prophecies Of Daniel Chapter 11 - were written for the sole purpose of verifying Yahweh's Own True Words to those living down at ' The Time Of The End '... and thus, fully document An Exacting Historical Time Line - from: The Rise Of Cyrus [ Darius I Of Medo-Persia ], until: The Protestant Reformation Within Europe. 
• The Prophecies Of Revelation Chapters 2 And 3 - clearly give us The Prophetical History Of Yahshua's Own Churches from: His Ascension To The Father, until: They No Longer Speak For Him - Around 1900 AD - beginning in chapter 4. 
• The Prophecies Of Revelation Chapter 6 - were given as A Prophetical Time Line For ' The End Times Period ' - and, within which, certain other clearly related prophecies might be more readily perceived.  

A wise man once noted ' The True Correlation Between Our Own Historians And The Prophets ', when he [ himself ] stated:

" Our Own Historians are merely Prophets who are simply recording everything backwards! What The Prophet declares in advance of its factual occurrence [ as it properly should be ], The Historian merely declares after the fact of its actual occurrence [ when it may do no one any good at all ]. Nor, does anyone [ ever ] benefit from The Work Of The Historian... for, their own eyes are always firmly set upon The Future [ without any beneficial consideration of their own: True and Un-Errant Guidance ].
