IS BIBLE PROPHECY TOO HARD TO UNDERSTAND? No. God’s inspired Word in the Bible was written so all can understand. And how can we pastors call ourselves faithful shepherds, who completely love our sheep, if we skip a quarter to a third of the Bible? Alistair Begg: “It takes a whole Bible to make a whole Christian.” J Vernon Magee: “God put the cookies down on the lower shelf so even the kids could get to them.” Dr David Cooper, founder of The Biblical Research Society: "When the plain sense of Scripture makes common sense, seek no other sense; therefore, take every word at its primary, ordinary, usual, literal meaning unless the facts of the immediate context, studied in the light of related passages and obvious and fundamental truths, indicate clearly otherwise." Problems develop when people begin to read their own ideas into the Bible. And though all of the Bible is a blessing for us to
read and study, God says Bible Prophecy will bring us a triple blessing. It also keeps us from becoming too worldly minded, because we are not saved for this messed up version of the earth, but for the world to come. So, Bible prophecy lets us know about our amazing future! When the Rapture of Christians happens at any expected minute now, we go to heaven to be with God for some years of celebration, and then follow Jesus back to earth, where we will rule and reign with Christ for a thousand years in His Millennial Kingdom. And it gets even better: then the earth is renovated into a new creation that turns it back into a Garden of Eden, after which we will live in peace with all creatures, allowing us to have pet lions, tigers, and bears—
oh my. Who wouldn't want to be here for that? No one has a brighter
future than Christians, which is the message from Bible prophecy.
It also makes us aware that today could be the last day, so we
should not only be living for Jesus, but also witnessing for Him.
