The book is a 36 page study on the center of the chiasm of Revelation that details the battle between good and evil in heaven and the resulting battle that focus on the commandment-keeping people of God on earth. In the study, the fall of the angels from heaven and the later casting out of heaven are explained in simple terms. The issue of the last verse of the chapter is also addressed. Was it John or the dragon standing on the sand of the seashore?

This book sets the stage for the 4th book in the series, Beasts of the Apocalypse. There will be remarkable connections between the beast of Revelation 12 and the first beast from Revelation 13! Keep an eye out for Beasts of the Apocalypse which should see the light in Q1 of 2025!

We have been asked to translate and print the LearnProphecy.com series in Zulu to reach that market with teaching on biblical prophecy as well. The translations of both books have been done and we hope to print the Zulu version of the Daniel 2 booklet, Isithombe Sekusasa, during April. Other translations are also in the works so chack back to this site for more details soon…

The Afrikaans edition is an easy-to-read study of Daniel 2 and provides an interpretation of the statue Nebuchadnezzar dreamt about. The book makes use of the Historicist interpretation of prophecy to identify the nations represented by the gold, silver, bronze and iron, as well as the iron mixed with clay.

The Afrikaans version is available @ R1800 per 100 copies for bulk sales. Visit our online store for retail copies of Beeld van die Toekoms.

This book, like the first book in the series, Image of the Future, contains original images of the beasts at the core of the prophecy. The book is an easy-to-read interpretation of the four beasts of Daniel 7 and provides detail on the little horn that rises among the ten horns of the forth beast.

Carnivorous Kingdoms is a 44 page A5 booklet printed in full color and is available for bulk purchases @ R2300 per 100 units. Retail copies are available in our online shop as long as stocks last.

Daniel 7 does give a partial description of parts of this ferocious beast. We would love to see what your interpretation of the beast looks like. Email us a drawing, a picture, a sketch or any other way you choose to depict your impression of this 4th beast of Daniel 7 and you can win your very own Image of the Future figurine. We look forward to see what you think the beast looked like!

Easier said than done, the reality of casting images proved to be much different to the theory. The mould was cast upside down, but pockets of air continued to deform the elbows. Release channels resolved the problem, but caused the resin to drain as well, and it was a long and arduous process of trial and error to get the figurine to an acceptable standard. Only for a new issue to come to the fore…

The 3D printed figurine was not historically correct! Though the Bible do not provide all the intricate details of the statue in terms of style, stance and accessories, it would be preferable to make a figurine that was as close to the style of statues Ancient Babylon was known for. It was basically back to the 3D Drawing board, but this time more committed to the cultural and historical realities of Daniel’s day.

The result was the basic figure of the Image of the Future. The original version of the model had no base and the 3D image was prone to falling over at the slightest bump or breeze. A base was the obvious solution, but had to be relevant to the Bible story as well.

A slice of the globe with the Middle East was taken as the area appropriate to the story and the decision was made to have the statue face Westwards. Why? It is not stated in Scripture that the statue faced in that direction, but the general direction of Bible prophecy in the Daniel-Revelation series tends to move in that direction. Starting in Babylon and later moving to Greece and the Roman Empire, with modern day America also coming into view, it was decided to take the creative freedom to add this detail to the scene.

We now had a figurine, but the purpose of using it as a training tool for children would not be complete without having a paint kit to go with it. Eco-friendly, non-toxic paint had to be sourced and brushes selected to complete the kit, and yet it was not the end. To make sure the message of Daniel 2 is also conveyed, it made sense to add a booklet to the package to tell the story of the rise and fall of empires from Daniel’s time to God’s Eternal Kingdom.

So now we had the figurine, the paint kit and the brushes. The only thing remaining was to consider the packaging. Here we wanted to do something different. Something that would add value and draw attention when the product is displayed. The usual blister packaging would not suit the product and window box just didn’t feel right. The paper core idea popped up and was not only ideally suited to the round base of the figurine, and had enough space left for the paint and brushes set and the booklet, but could also be used afterwards to serve as a container for any number of objects, not to mention that it looked pretty cool as well!

And so the creation of a paintable Image of the Future came to fruition. By no means a perfect idea from the start, on the contrary a concept that worked its way through many trials and errors, it is now product of many hours of work and effort which would hopefully give rise to many hours of fun and careful afterthought as to what the image stands for and what it tells us about a God that knows the future and cares for us very much.
