About me
To introduce myself, my name is Dan Nordquist. I'm a Born Again
Christian who loves truth and I have spent many hours, days and years
studying the Word of God. While I do have "credentials"
given me by men as an ordained minister, I do not count that as worth anything. I am just a sinner saved by the grace of God who has
been given a love for the truth. I have also studied the works of
many other men and I've taken what I've found to follow the Word and studied the scriptures used in them deeply, and
discarded that which I've found does not follow precisely with the
Bible. I wrote this book (and web site) by compiling my notes into a readable
format in order to share what I have learned with anyone who will
read it. I am a family man, with a wonderful wife, who I can
only say is a precious gift from God, and we are blessed with four
children.
I was an atheist for a large part of my life. I believed in evolution and
thought religion was an ingenious idea invented thousands of years ago to
control men. There were a couple things that made me start looking into
Christianity. First, the Bible was the ONLY religious book that had no factual
errors. The Bible has been proven to be 100% accurate history, through over
25,000 archeological digs and historical facts known from other sources. Second,
the theory of evolution had too many holes. I was inventing things in my mind to
make it all fit, but when I researched the flood of Genesis I learned that the
unknowns that science could not figure out were easily understood once the full
impact of a world wide flood that lasted about a year are considered. Third, I finally gave in to what I always knew in my heart,
even when I so adamantly denied Him; that God is. Then, I
began to study Biblical prophecy. I discovered that the Bible is also the only
religious book that had 100% accurate prophecy, and I learned that we are right
in the midst of where the Bible said we were going to be. I could write volumes
on what I've learned and studied, but I have kept it to something of a summary
and shared it here on this site, so please read the notes I have placed here and
study the bible and discover God for yourself! I pray the Lord leads you to His
truth.
My personal story: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09M5CZNP9
A Sinner Saved - a true story
a story of abuse, drug addiction, self-hatred and a life of crime turned to a life full of hope and joy... the caterpillar becomes a butterfly...
I tell the story of my little brother's death and how my life spiraled into drug addiction, self-hatred and atheism for years until I found myself
at the lowest point of my life where I had nowhere to look except up.
Since I love prophecy and how it all ties into the current times and events of
the world, and most people seem to be as interested as I am, I’ve written this
website to summarize all I’ve learned about biblical prophecy and help others
understand the truth of God’s Word. I don’t take the credit for anything
in this site. I have studied most of the major beliefs (and many not so
popular) on prophecy and biblical theology, and many of the words in this website
are taken from the teaching of others. Again, I've taken what I've found to follow
the Word and discarded that which I've found does not follow precisely with the
Bible, which is exactly what you should do! The bible is the ultimate authority
on truth so we’ll be studying the words of God for our proofs of everything
discussed here.
I must stress, right at the start here, that fulfillment of prophecy cannot be stated as fact until it has come to pass. There are many biblical
prophecies that have already come to pass, but there are many that are coming to
pass right now. We cannot know for sure what we’re seeing until the events
have come to conclusion. That being said, there is so much compelling
evidence and so many clues that it’s almost impossible not to see it for what it
is today. Prophecy is coming to pass right before our eyes and today we
are living in the times that God spent about 25% of the words in the bible to
tell us about. He wanted us to know when the time was right, at the time
of the end, and we are there! The Bible is almost 30% prophetic, either talking
about near future or distant future, and much of that prophecy has already come
to pass. How much more proof do we need to believe the Bible is true?
Part two of this website (The Truth of Gods Word), however, is taken directly from the bible and
there is no guesswork involved at all. God is very specific about truth
and has written His Word for us to understand fully if we love the truth and
seek it with all our heart. And, the most important thing to remember is:
Understanding prophecy is not important to your salvation, but understanding the
truth is the most important thing in the world! This is the book I wish I had
when I began my journey with God. There are so many religions out there
and they all teach something different, even the “Christian” churches can teach
some significant differences even though they profess to believe the same thing.
What is the truth? We will explore that in this little book.
Much of the text in this website will be direct quotes from the Bible with
explanations and commentary to help the reader understand the meaning. The
Bible is the only real truth, so we should never stray from its pages.
While I research with several versions of the Bible and use Greek/Hebrew
dictionaries, I use the King James Version of the Bible for accuracy and truth.
Some people don’t realize just how many changes are made in the translations of
some of the different Bible versions that completely change the meaning of God’s
Word and even though they may be easier to understand, they are not accurate.
The King James Bible is the most accurate translation we have, period.
Many people think that the King James Bible is so far from the original text
that it cannot be accurate, but the opposite is the reality. It is only
two steps from the original text. The original Old Testament Hebrew was
translated into what is called the Masoretic Text by a group of Jews
known as the Masoretes and that text was used to create the English translation.
The New Testament is translated into English based on the Textus Receptus (a
collection of the original Greek texts) which was compiled by Dutch Catholic
scholar Desiderius Erasmus. While some people argue that this is still not
good enough, the important thing to remember is that God preserved His word for
us and He didn't give us a book that we cannot understand. 2 Tim 3:16
All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine,
for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:
With over 25,000 archeological digs proving the Bible is accurate history in
every way, and every single prophecy proving true without a single failure, how
can we doubt its authenticity?
I hope that this little book will inspire readers to do what I did when I had so
many questions and got so many different answers. I started reading the
Bible for myself! I began by reading the entire New Testament from front
to back, then moving to the Old Testament. I definitely don’t want you to take
my word for anything said in this little book. But I don’t want you to go
out and take another man’s word for it either! Trust in the Word and ONLY
in the Word of God! Finding a minister or pastor who knows God is very
important, but make sure he is teaching the truth! I only say this because
I trusted a pastor who misled me and did not teach the truth. I’m just
grateful that God showed me His truth! It could have meant terrible
consequences for me if I had not sought out God and His truth on my own.
My recommendation for reading this little book is to have your Bible out and
read the passages that I quote from as you read through these pages.
For the best reading experience, please read this website in order. There
are some subjects that are built upon from previous chapters, so if you skip
around it might not make as much sense to you as it would otherwise.
Enjoy!
