The approach to our investigation will be straightforward. I ask you simply to put yourself in the position of someone living at the time of Christ. All that is required is to read and think about these prophetic references. Each reference to Christ illustrates some aspects of God's purpose in revealing prophecy that, if we spend time considering it, may become clear to us. Of course, we all have different insights, and you may disagree with some of the things I put forward in this book. This is the fruit of the human intellect. On the whole, however, I have confidence that the evidence given in the Bible is so overwhelmingly in favor of the need for a new way to look at prophecy, and that fulfillment and acceptance are required to understanding prophecy, that our disagreements will give way to our consensus
