We, generally, have an intense desire wishing to know our future. Yet foolishness isn't a word that comes to people's mind when they read their daily horoscopes faithfully, or forking over money generously to mediums, fortune tellers for something little more than "guesses". And often they would bet their last dollar on the "accuracy" of these readings/predictions irregardless how many times they had been "cheated" before. Funny, isn't it?
When it comes to the Bible, the standard for prophecies coming to pass is - 100%. Anything LESS is not acceptable. And yet, there is a "blindness" in the world to this amazing fact. For instance, Jesus fulfilled 109 prophecies in His First Coming - from His place of birth, to His earthly ministry, to His death - in explicit details! Btw, the odd of any single person fulfilling all 109 prophecies is statistically so astronomically huge that it is beyond the mental capacity of our human brain to comprehend.
But there are 3 times MORE prophecies concerning Jesus' Second Coming in the Bible than His First Coming! Why do u suppose God wants to put down SO MANY signs for us to watch out for? I could think of only ONE reason - so that we WON'T MISS IT for heaven sake!!! (no pun intended)
For the Body of Christ - Pls WAKE UP.
Do this, knowing the time, that it is already the hour for you to awaken from sleep; for now salvation is nearer to us than when we believed. The night is almost gone, and the day is near. Therefore let us lay aside the deeds of darkness and put on the armor of light. Let us behave properly as in the day, not in carousing and drunkenness, not in sexual promiscuity and sensuality, not in strife and jealousy. But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh in regard to its lusts.
(Rom 13:11-14)
For my friends & relatives who have yet to come to know the Lord, pls do not say in ur heart: "Aiya, u Christians have been talking about Jesus coming for hundreds of years already la..." For when u say that, u ARE fulfilling Bible prophecy too, for the Scripture says:
Know this first of all, that in the last days mockers will come with their mocking, following after their own lusts, and saying, "Where is the promise of His coming? For ever since the fathers fell asleep, all continues just as it was from the beginning of creation."
(2Pe 3:3-4)
To those believers who think Bible Prophecies are not important:
"Now learn the parable from the fig tree: when its branch has already become tender and puts forth its leaves, you know that summer is near; so, you too, when you see all these things, recognize that He is near, right at the door. "Truly I say to you, this generation will not pass away until all these things take place.
(Mat 24:32-34)
Let me ask u: "How do u 'SEE ALL THESE THINGS' & 'RECOGNISE THAT HE IS NEAR' when u have no idea what to see & what to recognise?"
Bible says ALL Scriptures is given by inspiration of God and are necessary that the man of God may be COMPLETE, thoroughly EQUIPPED. Let us not neglect more than 1/4 of the Bible which are prophecy related.
For instance, do u know the REBIRTH of ISRAEL is the SINGLE BIGGEST SIGN fulfilled for the past 2000 years after the death of Jesus?!
