International speaker Justis St. Hilaire will be presenting a series of seminars on Bible prophecy beginning on June 15.
St. Hilaire said on Tuesday that he became captivated by biblical revelation when he went on a personal odyssey of learning at the age of 26.
“I had a desire to figure out what was happening in the world at that time,” he said. “I went on a personal quest to find answers.”
His studies took him to a seminar on biblical prophecy. He went “with a skeptical attitude,” he said.
“The speaker basically had the answers that made sense to me. The information wasn’t ridiculous. It wasn’t foolish. It was logical and presented in a way that any intelligent person could understand.”
In Creston, St. Hilaire will begin with five presentations, starting with the Revelation of Hope on June 15. He will continue delivering his message on June 16, 17, 19 and 21. Each of the presentations includes multi-media screenings that help reinforce information.
“This seminar series is for people from all religious persuasions and backgrounds, and for people who are curious about the world and don’t have a religion,” he said.
Religion, St. Hilaire admits, has done a lot of harm in the world, but the harm comes when messages deviate from the word of God.
“This is a critical issue,” he said. “If one sincerely wants to walk with God, one should have an insatiable appetite for the truth.
“Most people and even pastors don’t have the tools to understand or explain how prophecies work, regardless of their religion. But Revelation isn’t about interpretation. The Bible interprets itself — nobody has been given that right.
“I am not out to hurt or offend anyone. This is an opportunity for people to come and see something they have never seen before.”
St. Hilaire said his desire when he comes to Creston is to explain the actual issues the world is being confronted with now.
“This is a very intelligent process of understanding with biblically based methodology,” St. Hilaire said. “People will leave saying, ‘Now I know what’s needed to prepare me for what is coming.’
“I am not an alarmist or sensationalist. It is my intention to help people understand principles that have been lost in history.”
The Revelation Prophecy Seminar sessions run from 7-9 p.m. each evening at Rotacrest Hall (upper entrance). Admission is free and seating is limited. Childcare for children 4-10 will be provided.
