The Time Is Fulfilled, End-Time Prophecy Has Already Started to Happen

Here’s What’s Coming Next

Dennis Callen had a visitation twice by the presence of the Lord a few years ago, very early in the morning. At that time, the Lord revealed the correct and current interpretation of end-time prophecy, much of which is not the same as is taught today.

Of all the books brother Callen has written, this book was the most unique for him in that, he says, it was like taking dictation from the Holy Spirit and not just writing it from his own understanding, research, or opinion. This is one book that will bring the reader up-to-date with current events as the end-time prophecy has recently played out and will show you the exact day the tribulation will start, for the time is at hand. This book is Not a repeat of what has already been written by other writers. In fact, you will find it to be completely different.

“Five out of five stars scripturally accurate and easy to read and understand” (Reviewed in the United States on August 10, 2019).

Most end-time prophecy books I have read all say the same things. A lot of them are private interpretations, which 2 Peter 1:20 says we should stay away from. This book uses scripture to interpret scripture. I have never read anything like this before. It all makes biblical sense to me. I can see how the seals have been opened already. The results of the seals are on the television news almost every day.

The Bible says we are to be simple concerning evil (Romans 16:19). So if the book of Revelation is about the tribulation only and all the evil that would take place after we are gone, then this would violate Romans 16:19. However, the book of Revelation is first about setting the stage for the move of God in the greatest revival the world has ever seen, plus the coming wrath of God found in Revelation chapter 16.

I don’t know of any other book that is as accurate and exciting to read as this book. You can tell it has the same feel as reading the Bible. Every Christian needs to read this book. I highly recommend it.

The book of revelation is taken verse by verse with a clear, easy-to-understand explanation.

Of all the books that are out there, this is the only one I recommend highly.

    The Time Is Fulfilled, End-Time Prophecy Has Already Started to Happen - Dennis Callen

    Chapter 1

    How to Rightly Divide the Word of God

    The Holy Bible is the most uniquely written document in the world. It has forty authors whose writings cover thirty-five hundred years, and yet today, the Bible remains true to the original Hebrew writings of years ago without contradictions.

    This was authenticated by the Dead Sea Scrolls that were discovered at the north end of the Dead Sea in Israel in 1948. The discovery contained scrolls of every book of the Bible except the book of Esther. Research has shown that the oldest scroll is two thousand years old, and yet it is still word-for-word accurate. No other book in history is that accurate. These Dead Sea Scrolls are on display in a museum in Israel. This is evidence that God is real. Only the true living God would have the power and influence to protect His Word throughout history to keep it accurate so we can trust it and confidently live by it.

    With the establishment of God’s Word as uniquely accurate and unchanging, I believe the answer to any and every question about life can be found in the scriptures if we know where to look. However, that, my friend, is easier said than done. There are things hidden in the Bible. I believe God gives understanding to those of us who will, with an honest heart, diligently seek answers from God in His Word. He who seeks finds (Matthew 7:8) and for there is nothing covered that will not be revealed, and hidden that will not be known (Mathew 10:26).

    Before we begin, there needs to be an understanding of Bible guidelines on how to rightly divide and interpret the scriptures. Let’s take one chapter to look at the guidelines that are given to us in the scriptures.

    It never ceases to amaze me how some Bible teachers do not understand the guidelines that are found in the Bible. So many times, I have said to my wife, They’re not reading everything in the Bible on the subject when I hear someone teach incorrectly, especially end-time prophecy teachers. They must just be teaching what someone else has written in their books. Some teachings are being accepted because of the respect they have for Dr. So-and-So, and they don’t even question what is being taught. They just figure he is more educated than they are and therefore accept what is taught, and what Dr. So-and-So’s definition of the scriptures is without question. Understandably, that’s the way I was when I was a young Christian and didn’t know a lot about the Bible. I used to think, "Well they just know something about the scripture that I don’t. There must be something written somewhere else in the scriptures or in the original text that I’m not familiar with. But I found out they didn’t know something different; they were just teaching what they were taught and were confident their teachers taught them correctly and therefore didn’t question anything.

    Today, it’s my guess that 75 percent of end-time teaching, as well as teaching on the first six chapters of the book of Genesis, is incorrect according to what is actually written in the Bible. Too many teachers go to books outside of the Bible to support their point. They turn to the book of Enoch, which may have some revelations in it but also contains Jewish fables and things that are contrary to the actual inspired Word of God. In the book of Titus, we are warned to beware of Jewish fables (Titus 1:14). It is my belief that if it is contrary to and contradicts what is written in the Word of God (the Bible) as we know it, then it is error (Galatians 1:8). We have to trust that God protected His Word for us.

    The Bible itself teaches us how to "rightly divide the word of God" (2 Timothy 2:15). Here’s the problem: The Bible was not written in a way that just anybody can understand with just a surface reading. It was not written like a novel or a history book.

    It is the glory of God to conceal a matter, but the glory of kings (that’s us) is to search out a matter. (Proverbs 25:2)

    God hides mysteries in His Word that are hidden there for our eyes only.

    Jesus said, To you it has been given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God, but to the rest it is given in parables that ‘Seeing they may not see, and hearing they may not understand’ (Luke 8:10).

    That does not mean God’s people would necessarily have to study the customs, thinking, or language of the day. The Holy Spirit is not dated. Jesus and the prophets did not speak out of their natural reasoning or according to their own background although He does explain things by using examples the writer is familiar with. The Holy Spirit can, and does, reveal the scriptures to spiritual babes. However, sometimes the original language does give us an insight greater than the English version because the translators were human and may have translated it according to their own perception or beliefs.

    The Holy Spirit is excellent at His job, making sure we understand what we need to know. When knowing the original language might tip the scales toward a better understanding, God will be sure we have the right tools, such as a concordance or teachers who have the correct understanding, made available to us. Many things in the Bible are on a need-to-know basis. You don’t need to know everything. All you really need are the answers to the questions and problems you are facing today.

    There is nothing covered that will not be revealed, and hidden that will not be known. (Matthew 10:26)

    The things that are revealed belong to us and our children forever. (Deuteronomy 29:29)

    However, there are some things the Lord will reveal to us just because He wants to share them with us (John 15:15).

    Some may think it is pride to take the thought that they know more by revelation than their educated teachers. Yet the scripture is clear on this subject. We should all learn more than the previous generation.

    You, through Your commandments, make me wiser than my enemies; For they are ever with me. I have more understanding than all my teachers, For Your testimonies are my meditation. I understand more than the ancients. (Ancients means those who lived before him.) (Psalm 119:98–100)

    And again, this is stated in Job 32:6–9, "So Elihu, the son of Barachel the Buzite, answered and said: ‘I am young in years, and you are very old; therefore I was afraid, and dared not declare my opinion to you. I said, Age should speak, and multitude of years should teach wisdom.’ But there is a spirit in man, and the breath of the Almighty (original language says Spirit of the Almighty) gives him understanding. Great men are not always wise, nor do the aged always understand justice." That verse really says it all.

    So according to God’s Word, we are supposed to eventually know more than our teachers. Of course, no one can understand the deep things of scripture without totally relying on the Holy Spirit. The scriptures are to be spiritually discerned (1 Corinthians 2:14). That’s why the Lord took a man like the apostle Paul, who was highly educated in Judaism, and sent him to minister to the pagan Gentiles and took an uneducated fisherman, like Peter, and sent him to minister to the educated Jewish people who were raised in Judaism. They both had to completely rely on the leading of the Holy Spirit. I am not anti-education. On the contrary, we all need to gain knowledge to live this life and have knowledge of the Bible as a foundation for our basic beliefs. However, understanding can be greater in one person than another because understanding comes from the Holy Spirit (Job 32:6–9).

    So here are the biblical rules to the understanding of scripture as revealed by the scriptures:

    Rule number one: 2 Corinthians 13:1, which is a quote from Deuteronomy 17:6 and 19:15, says, By the mouth of two or three witnesses every word shall be established. There has to be at least two scriptures that say exactly the same thing that is being taught, preferably by a different writer.

    The scriptures will bear witness of itself. We are not saying that Brother So-and-So said this means such and such and Brother Know-It-All agrees with him, so that’s two witnesses that agree. No. That’s not right. Jesus said, You have sent to John, and he has borne witness to the truth. Yet I do not receive testimony from man. The very works that I do—bear witness of Me that the Father has sent Me (John 5:33–34, 36). The Word of God itself will define and give a correct understanding of what it is intending to reveal.

    It’s amazing to me how many Bible teachers violate this basic guideline, especially when it comes to Bible prophecy.

    When Jesus died, God gave three days and three nights to bear witness that He was totally and completely dead. The Jews of that day believed the spirit of a person stayed around the body a day or two before departing to the afterlife. God went beyond the minimum by having four gospel writers bear witness to what Jesus said and about His life. He did this also in the resurrection of Lazarus, allowing him to be in the grave for four days.

    When Joseph interpreted the dreams of Pharaoh, there were two dreams that had the same meaning to establish it as from God.

    And the dream was repeated to Pharaoh twice because the thing is established by God. (Genesis 41:32)

    When Peter was given the vision of the unclean animals let down from heaven on a sheet, it was repeated three times to keep in line with this biblical guideline. And from the book of Job, the oldest book in the Bible, it says, Behold, God works all these things, twice, in fact, three times with men (Job 33:29).

    We don’t baptize in proxy for the dead as it is written in 1 Corinthians 15:29 because it is only found in that one place. This scripture is not teaching us to baptize in proxy for the dead. The early church thought a person had to be baptized in water to be saved. So they were baptizing in proxy for people who had already died who apparently were not baptized in water before they died. This was a misunderstanding about the doctrine of baptisms. In Hebrews 6:2, it mentions the "doctrine of baptisms." Water baptism is not necessary for salvation, but being baptized into (or put into) the body of Christ when you believe is (1 Corinthians 12:13)! Otherwise, Romans 10:9–10 would be incorrect when it tells us what to do to be saved. It does not mention being water baptized.

    When you believe in your heart that God raised Jesus Christ from the dead and confess with your mouth that He is your Lord by faith (Romans 10:9–10), then the Holy Spirit puts you (or baptizes you) into the body of Christ (1 Corinthians 12:13). This is what is required to miss hell and make heaven your eternal home.

    I can’t tell you how many times I have seen a Brother So-and-So, who is well respected and highly educated, base the teaching of prophecy on his own opinion, ancient legends, or maybe he is just teaching and repeating what someone else has already taught or written in a book.

    Know this first, that no prophecy of scripture is of private interpretation. (2 Peter 1:20)

    Many times, their references come from uninspired books that were purposely rejected and left out of the Holy Bible because they violate the guidelines that are referred to in this chapter. John tells us that there were many things done by Jesus that were not written and included in John’s writings. That means what is included was handpicked by God and is sufficient for our learning and edification.

    And truly Jesus did many other signs in the presence of His disciples, which are not written in this book; but these are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing you may have life in His name. (John 20:30–31)

    And again, it is written, All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness (2 Timothy 3:16).

    Rule number two: These things we also speak, not in words which man’s wisdom teaches, comparing spiritual things with spiritual (1 Corinthians 2:13). God doesn’t think like we do. He calls (declares) things that don’t exist as though they already did (Romans 4:17). Also, keep in mind that God does not speak from the standpoint of time. That means He does not necessarily speak in chronological order. Rather, He speaks by subjects and about one subject at a time.

    Comparing spiritual things with spiritual things refers to what some have called the law of precedence. In other words, it means comparing apples with apples. If the Bible uses a certain word in prophecy to describe something, when it is used again later, it will have the same meaning. If the Lord in the book of Revelation says the church is represented by seven candlesticks (KJV) or lampstands (NKJV), then when it is used again later in the same book, it still means a specific body of believers.

    For years, many have tried to guess who the two witnesses are in chapter 11 of the book of Revelation. Some say it is Elijah and Enoch. Their reasoning is because these men did not die, and the scripture says it is appointed unto men once to die. That theory or reasoning has holes in it because none of the raptured saints will ever die. We don’t need to die, for Jesus tasted death for everyone (Hebrews 2:9).

    Plus, because the scripture in Malachi 4:5 says, Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord, this causes many to believe that the man, Elijah himself, shall return to the earth. However, Jesus clears this up by saying that John the Baptist had the spirit or anointing of Elijah, and that fulfilled the scripture in Malachi.

    If you look at the scripture (Revelation 11:3–4), you will see that the two witnesses are two olive trees (anointed ones, which is also described in Zachariah 4:14) and two lampstands (groups of believers in the church body). At the beginning of the book of Revelation, we have seven lampstands, representing the entire body of Christ (the church). Fault was found with five of them, and two were found to be faithful. These two groups of believers (lampstands) are the persecuted church (Smyrna) and the faithful church, which has kept His Word (Philadelphia). These two were without fault before the Lord. They are two anointed groups of believers who stand by the Lord of the whole earth. He promises to keep them from the hour of trial because of their perseverance, which shall come to test everyone on the earth (Revelation 3:10).

    Please keep in mind, when these prophetic words are used outside of prophecy, they will have a natural or normal meaning. For example, outside of prophecy, when the word talks about a certain mountain (Joshua 14:9–12), it means a regular mountain. Another example is when Jesus talks about faith in God to move mountains; He is illustrating the extreme power of faith to move a literal mountain. It can also be applied in a figurative way in moving a mountain of a problem in your life out of the way.

    On the other hand, in the prophetic book of Revelation, the word mountain is referring to a kingdom or a king and his kingdom. In Revelation 17:9, it refers to seven mountains. Some think this is referring to Rome, which is surrounded by seven mountains. Some believe this is Vatican City. However, the next verse makes it
