Day Of The Weekly Cycle, Tevet 21 5784, 15th. Winter Day Everyone wants to know what the future holds. Most have no idea. So many are confused, not knowing where to turn for answers to the great questions about the future. Suppose you could know the direction and conclusion of world events—world history—before the outcome. What if you could know the courses of nations in advance? Imagine knowing tomorrow’s biggest headlines before they come to pass, and how events will affect you, and all human beings, personally. About one-third of the Bible is prophecy—history written in advance. Over four-fifths of this future history is yet to be fulfilled. Tragically, most Bible readers are unaware of awesome, impending world events, soon to involve all nations. Vast sections of Scripture remain outside their understanding—completely hidden to them. Here is why God records prophecy in His Word—and the keys to unlocking it! Who Is It For? Many have opinions about Bible prophecy, but few know how to find real answers. Others think they already understand prophecies of the Bible, but are ignorant of vital life-changing knowledge. Any study of prophecy begins with the definition of what it is. Most lack even this most basic knowledge. Bible prophecy is “the inspired, divine revelation or foretelling of historical events, written in advance of those events, pertaining to the unfolding of God’s Plan for mankind.” A shorter definition is “foretelling the future.” Prophecy is factual history recorded in advance! God foretells major events before they happen. He wants His servants to know what the future holds—what lies ahead for the world. The Bible is about 750,000 words. This means 250,000 are devoted to prophecy. With over 80 percent unfulfilled, many major events must yet come to pass.

The only thing I would debate is about half of prophetic scripture has been fulfilled, according to all modern-day scholars I follow. But that is neither here nor there. I would suspect the reasons we are given the history in advance are proof that the One True Living God, like no other god, knows the end from the beginning, is omniscient, controls all of history for His plans and purposes, and is who He says He is. His Word is true, accurate, and dependable, we can take it to the bank. I would also think for our benefit, as given to us in much scripture, such as: 1 Thessalonians 5:4 But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief. Hebrews 10:25 Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching. How would we know such without prophecy and watching? The letters to the seven churches Jesus wrote to are fascinating, the church age written in advance. In hindsight, we see the church ages and everything passed down through the ages and churches to the final church age, the present-day Laodicean Church. They all can and have been precisely dated in retrospect with the advent of history, people, and events. We are living in the final letter of the Laodicean Church, witnessing a convergence of everything prophetic emerge and align in our lifetime. I believe the last grains of sand are passing through the hourglass, and our redemption draweth near. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rev 19:10 True lovers of God have no concern for the future. I know that I don't. I want to know God, and find Him in the testimony of Jesus. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But that may be the wrong way to be looking at them, they could be far more personal to each of us than we think they are. I see them as something far more personally dynamic, both for populations as a whole and for each person as an individual, they are the expression of the basic rules of operation for mankind and tell us what we can and cannot do and what the result will be when/if we do it as well as what pleases and displeases God so that his will for men and man are fulfilled by each of us as participants in it. The prophecies show us the choices we will face in our lives and what the results of those choices will be, they are here to guide each of us through the events of our life and give us the knowledge of how to handle them in a manner pleasing to God. This is how I see it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

God's desire is to have a relationship with us, in order to do so He has to draw us unto Himself, He does so by His foreknowledge of telling us of events in the future, which thus gives us the Faith we need to draw near unto Him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
