Bible Prophecy Frees Us from an Earthly Perspective
A knowledge of Bible prophecy gives a real hope that changes our perspective
in this world. It is a hope based on two worlds, this world and the next.
We are not citizens here, we are “citizens of
heaven, and we wait for the Saviour who comes from heaven, the Lord Jesus
Christ, who will transform the body that belongs to our low estate till
it resembles the body of his Glory, by the same power that enables him
to make everything subject to himself”(Phil.
3:20–21 Moffatt).
The future is important right now because in the
light of prophecy, today touches eternity. And where we will be tomorrow
depends upon what we do today. If we live for this world and the present
system, which is doomed and perishing, we will perish with it. But if
we use the present to prepare for the great future God has planned, we
belong to God and the future, and shall one day, if faithful, see God’s
will done on earth as it is now done in heaven above.
