Bible Prophecy Instructs About Coming Events (cont.)
In this last, late hour of the
day, we should be living in the glow of the “any time now” return
of Jesus. We know that the Day is near and imminent. In the words of Paul,
we should be pressing on to secure “the prize of the high calling
of God in Christ Jesus”(Phil. 3:14). In the light of prophecy we
can wait, and watch, and work.
Prophecy gives our lives perspective
and direction. Scripture is not just an interesting book to read. It is
the Word of God; it is the story of the world’s future, our future.
Its promises are sure and certain. Let us hear the resounding words of
Jesus, “Behold I come quickly,” and John’s yearning heartfelt
response, “Even so, come, Lord Jesus” (Rev. 22:12, 20).
The prophecy of the soon coming
events on earth: Jesus returning with a multitude of the heavenly host,
a resurrection of the dead and their judgment, a cleansing of the evil
elements by force which will result in destroying two thirds of the world’s
population cannot be ignored if we truly believe it. And, if we take Bible
prophecy seriously, studying it and comparing it to historical, archeological
and scientific evidence, how can we but believe!
