Cornerstone Bible Institute

This course is a comprehensive study of biblical prophecy regarding future events as recorded in the New Testament. Lectures and assignments are designed to provide the student with an in-depth understanding of the prophetic portions of the New Testament (such as the coming time of Tribulation, the Kingdom of God, and the Eternal State) showing how they relate to each other.  

Because so many students of biblical prophecy view this topic as being both confusing and frightening, attention will be placed on the next coming prophetic event – the rapture of the church – to clarify why it is called by the Christian community “the blessed hope.”  

The primary goal of this course, along with its counterpart (Old Testament Prophecy), is twofold: First, to help generate a view of optimism and confidence in the life of the believer regarding his future, and Second, to explain God’s overall plan of redemption for His creation, including not only those portions of prophecy fulfilled in the past, but also those to be fulfilled in the future.

From Genesis to Revelation, the Scriptures weave a vivid picture of what’s known as the Scarlet Thread of Redemption, one theme, one line, one thread running tirelessly through every book and page. This Scarlet Thread binds together God’s great plan of salvation.   

  In both the Old and New Testaments, we see the beauty of this unbroken thread flowing from God as He covenants with humanity. This covenant reveals in detail the depth of God’s love, a love not based on our performance, but on the all-consuming devotion of the Creator for His creation.   

  Through Jesus the Christ, who accomplished everything needed to fulfill the covenant, we witness God’s provision of the perfect Lamb, whose sinless life takes away the sin of the world.  

  Join us as we follow the Scarlet Thread and gain a deeper understanding of God's redemption story, and your place within it.
