Running Prophecy

Curtis A. Routley was seven years old, he was saved at a Youth for Christ meeting in Cudahy, Wisconsin. When he turned ten, he read the Bible for the first time. Then he said, "What kind of book is this Revelation? The rest of the Bible is understandable, but not this Revelation." So whenever Jude was read, Genesis was started again. At sixteen, finishing Jude, he said, "I'm older now; I understand more now, so maybe if I read it again, God will show me something in that book to understand." Revelation chapter nine jumped out at him. He knew what John was looking at, causing him to write the words he used. It was a perfect description for a man from 2000 years ago. When you see what he is seeing, you understand the words he has recorded. When the author entered the United States Air Force, he went through three major fields of training. From undergraduate navigator training, he learned how to use and make maps. From Bombardier Training, he learned all about the atomic bomb. After serving as a navigator, he went to pilot training and became an instructor pilot. Every one of these courses was necessary for him to learn and be able to see what men of old saw and spoke of when he began to study Bible prophecy.
