Bible Prophecy Today
2 Peter 1:19
"We have also a more sure
Word of Prophecy;
whereunto ye do well that
ye take heed, as unto
a light
that shineth in a dark place,
until the day dawn, and the
Day Star
arise in your hearts:
2 Peter 1:20
"Knowing this first, that no
Prophecy of the Scripture
is of any
private interpretation.
2 Peter 1:21
"For The Prophecy came not
in old time by the will of
man: but holy men of God
spake as they were moved
by The Holy Ghost.”
Shall we obey the
instruction of the
Holy Spirit
and
“take heed”
to the
Sure Word of Prophecy
Yes, we do not want to be
walking in darkness down
the broad road to
destruction
so we will walk in the
light of God’s Word
given to us in the wonderful
prophecies of Scripture !
Prophecies are
sign posts
along the narrow road that
Christians are traveling on
their journey to Heaven.
Some have been
fulfilled in the past,
we see some being
fulfilled today
and a few are still in the
future.
The Good News is that
most of the Prophecies
have been fulfilled and the
few that remain soon will
be !
What are some Prophecies
that are yet to
be fulfilled ?
What about
Matthew 24: 14 ?
“And this
Gospel of The Kingdom
shall be preached in all
the world for a witness
unto all nations; and then
shall the end come.”
Notice: It doesn’t say all the
world is going to be converted,
but that all the world shall hear
THE GOSPEL !
Has the Gospel gone to
China,
to Russia, to India, to
Australia, to North America, to
South America ? We would
have to say yes, because there
are Christians in all those
countries today and many are
being persecuted by
heathen governments
and heathen religions
such as Muslims
and
Buddhists !
Some are in prisons and
being tortured and every day
while we enjoy the beautiful
freedoms we still have in
Canada.
In other
Countries, Christians are
being put to death for their
faith in the
Lord Jesus Christ !
So yes,
Bible Prophecy
declares that the
end of this world
is very near, that soon, very
soon we shall see Jesus
coming in the clouds of
heaven with great power and
glory to
destroy the wicked
and take
His “Little Flock”
of faithful people to heaven.
The disciples asked
Jesus
a question about this, it is
found in:
Luke 13: 23 & 24
“Then said one unto Him,
Lord, are there few
that be saved ? And He said unto
them,
Strive to enter in at
the strait gate:
for many, I say unto you,
will seek to enter in, and
shall not be able”.
In Matthew 7: 13 – 14,
Jesus said:
Matthew 7:13
“Enter ye in at
the strait gate:
for wide is the gate, and
broad is the way, that
leadeth to destruction,
and many there be
which go in thereat:"
Matthew 7:14 “Because
strait is the gate,
and narrow is the way, which
leadeth unto life, and
few there be that find it.”
Millions today, claim to be
Christians,
but are they ?
When I look at myself in
the light
shining from
God’s Holy Word,
am I a Christian ?
The test is a simple one;
Jesus said:
“If you love Me,
keep
My Commandments”
John 14: 15.
What is incredible about
this simple test is that
millions of people I meet
who say they are
“Christians”
will in the same breath say
“The Law
was nailed to the cross”.
Some one better tell
Jesus that His Holy Law
was nailed to the cross
because apparently He
hasn’t heard the news !
When He said:
“If you love Me,
keep
My Commandments”
John 14: 15.
Did He say; “Only until I
nail them to the cross
and then you do not need
to keep them anymore.”
Well, according to the
Beloved Apostle John,
The Law was certainly to
continue after the cross.
Speaking through John in
1 John 2: 3 & 4.
The Spirit of God
said:
“And hereby we do know
that we know Him, if we
keep His Commandments.
He that saith, I know
Him, and keepeth not
His Commandments,
is a liar, and
The Truth is not in him.”
Now that is pretty strait
forward Truth that most
children can understand,
and yet, millions of
preachers and teachers
dare to tell their flocks
that The Holy Law of God
was “nailed to the cross”.
Why would God ever want
to do away with His Law ?
The Bible says in,
Deuteronomy 9: 9-11 and
verse 15.
“When I was gone up into
the mount to receive
the tables of stone,
even
the tables of the covenant
which the LORD made
with you, then I abode in
the mount forty days and
forty nights, I neither did
eat bread nor drink water:
9:10 And the LORD
delivered unto me two
tables of stone written
with the finger of God;
and on them was written
according to all the words,
which the LORD spake
with you in the mount out
of the midst of the fire in
the day of the assembly.
9:11 And it came to pass
at the end of forty days
and forty nights, that
The Lord gave me
the two tables of stone
even
the tables of the covenant.
9:15 So I turned and
came down from the
mount, and the mount
burned with fire: and
the two tables
of
the covenant
were in my two hands.”
God gave Moses
two tables of stone
on which were written the
words of the
Ten Commandments
and these
Commandments,
which written in stone,
are called the words of
the covenant
between God and Israel.
Now lets go to the book of
Psalms;
Psalms 89: 34
“My Covenant will I
not break, nor alter
the thing that is gone out
of My lips.”
God says He will never
change His Law, He will
never alter one word of
that Law. The Law of God
is as eternal as
God Himself !
And yet man, who is but a
creature of dust, created
by The Mighty God who
wrote His Law in
tables of stone,
would dare to change
His Law !
“My Covenant will I
not break, nor alter
the thing that is gone out
of My lips.”
“And hereby we do know
that we know Him,
if we keep
His Commandments.
He that saith, I know
Him, and keepeth not His
Commandments, is a liar,
and The Truth
is not in him.”
If we truly love Jesus, we
will keep His Law. If we
truly know God, we will
keep His Law. Friends I
do not want to be guilty of
lying to God, I will keep
His Law
because I love Him,
because I love His Son
Jesus Christ who
died a cruel death
to give me the wonderful
gift of Eternal Life !
