Why Study Prophecy?
Why
Study Prophecy?
There is no better
source of guidance than the Prophetic Holy Scriptures. There is no other
book in the world that contains hundreds of fufilled Prophecies as the
Bible. (about empires, nations, people...) the fulfilled Prophcies are
our best evidence that the Bible IS the "Word of God". The Word of God
is the only accurate word containig Prophecy. God has given us these Prophecies
as guidance to live by, future events and to remind us that "HE" is in
control!

Timothy 3:16,17 "The whole Bible was given to us by inspiration form God
and is useful toteach us what is true and to make us realize what is wrong
in our lives; it straightens us out and helps us do what is right. It is
God's way of making us well prepared at every point, fully equipped to
do good to everyone...
We have no need to be frightened
by events happening in our world "if" we know Jesus Christ as our Lord
and Savior and we know about His promises in the Bible.
John 14:2,3 "There are many homes up there where my Father lives, and I
am going to prepare them for your coming. When everything is ready, then
I will come and get you, so that you can always be with me where I am.
If this weren't so , I would tell you plainly".
John 14:15,16 "If you love
me, obey me; and I will ask the Father and he will give you another comforter,
and he will never leave you. (The Holy Spirit)
Did You Know That Prophecy
Reveals That Our Lord Jesus "IS" Who He Said He Was?
The Bible has more than 300
prophecies about the first coming of Jesus. I have to add that they have
ALL been fulfilled! The place of His birth, the nature of His birt, the
excellenc of His ministry, the purpos He came to earth, and the reason
for the agony of His death. There is no posibility for coincidence. Prophecy
pointed to Him and Jesus WAS who he said he was. "The SOn Of God!"
The Bible has been here for
over 2,000 years and you can see the Prophecies coming to pass in the Newspapers
of today. Coicidence...?Not a chance! Read on -----
Matthew 24:4-14 "Watch out
that no one deceives you, for many will come in my name, claiming,"I am
the Christ," and will deceive many. You will hear of wars and rumors of
wars beginning, this does not signal my return; these must come, but the
end is not yet. The nations and kingdoms of the earth will rise against
eachother, and there will be famines and earthquakes in many places. But
all this will be only the beginning of the horrors to come. Then you will
be tortured and killed and hated all over the world because you are mine,
and many of you shall fall back into sin and betray and hate eachothe.
And many false prophets will appear and lead many astray. Sin wll be rampant
everywhere and will cool the love of many. But those enduring to the end
shall be saved. And the Good News about the Kingdom will be preached throughout
the whole world, so that all nations will hear it, and then finally, the
end will come."
These are general "signs" Jesus
said would happen prior to His return.
Many people who study Bible
Prophecy know that the events unfolding in the world today are signs of
"the last days." We have reached the days which the prophet had in mind
when he wrote, "Woe
unto them who call evil, good, and
good,
evil." Isaiah 5:20
The human race has pushed a
self destruction button. The foundations of ungodliness have crumbled;
things that are sacred have come unzipped. People accepting homosexuality
as a normal lifestyle is onlt one sign of this.
Our Lord has told us not to
be troubled, because,"these
are only the beginning of the horrors to come." Matthew24:8
God
is warning us to be prepared. These events that are happening in the world,
are warnings to turn us to HIM.
Where Is It All Leading To?
The book of Revelation describes
the end time. It tells of a one world government, a godless dictator (Antichrist),
plagues, crime and rebellion, even devastating dis asters. There are "signs
of the times" in todays headlines--- all signs leading to the return of
Jesus. These things have happened since the beginning of time, but the
relevant thing is that these things are happening with a major intensity.
We should NOT dare to blind our eyes to what this means .... The return
of Jesus draws nigh!
Matthew 16:2,3 He replied.
"You are good at reading the weather signs of the skies --- red sky tonight
means fair weather tomorow; red sky in the morning means foul weather all
day --- but you can't read the obvious signs of the times!
