Satan's first strategy in the garden was to make Adam and Eve afraid. He convinced them that God was up to no good -- that God had ulterior, sinister, self-serving motives for denying them the fruit of that tree. "God knows that you will become like Him, knowing good from evil!" Satan's seeds of fear took immediate root, and they broke the commandment of the good God who loved them.

One of the benefits of knowing Bible prophecy is how it enables you to react wisely to current events. The book of Revelation predicts the horsemen of war, famine, disease, and death will ride upon the world. We also know from history that the world has always suffered these miseries, though Heaven mitigates them if a nation walks with the Lord. So Scripture distinguishes between the general fallenness and brokenness of the earth, and that distinct future time we call the great tribulation.
