![DAY 70: SHOULD YOU BE BLESSED BY
YOUR PASTOR TEACHING BIBLE PROPHECY? [2 of 2] Revelation 1:3: “Blessed is the one who reads aloud the words of this prophecy, and blessed are those who hear it and take to heart what is written in it…” As a shepherd in the Christian Church, we’re supposed to teach the flock the whole counsel of God—not just some of it. What gives pastors the right to decide which portions of the Bible are good or bad for God’s people? God says it’s all from Him, so it’s all good, especially Bible prophecy.
The fact is that Bible prophecy is some of the best news we could
ever hear as Christians, a much-needed antidote to deal with
the perilous days we live in now with evil abounding. The Book of Revelation is not doom and gloom; rather, it reminds us that we are going to heaven, a place beyond our wildest dreams. We will go into the millennium where our greatest adventure awaits. And best of all, face to face, we’re going to see our King, Jesus, who loves us and wants us to have an amazing life for all eternity. That news is such a blessing, and it’s all obtained when we read, hear, and take to heart the prophetic events that are 100% accurately recorded for us in the Bible—and only there. The more I study Bible prophecy, the more I’m reminded
that, as a Christian in Jesus, I’m a winner and not a loser, I’m
blessed beyond measure, and I have an amazing future in store that
I can’t even comprehend. How awesome it will be! In fact, nobody
has a brighter, more secure future than God’s people! | image tagged in bible,future,prophecy,predictions | made w/ Imgflip meme maker](http://i.imgflip.com/7awc2v.jpg)
![DAY 69: CAN YOU BE BLESSED BY YOUR
PASTOR TEACHING BIBLE PROPHECY? [1 of 2] The Bible tells us we will know we’re getting close to the last days when people in the Church will not put up with sound doctrine (biblical teachings). Instead, to suit their own desires, they will hire and listen to those who give them only myths (stories made up) and whatever else they deem pleasant to hear. I would estimate that is about ninety percent today’s American Church. And this
is the reason churches, pastors, Bible study leaders, and
other teachers will not preach on Bible prophecy. The irony is they’re fulfilling Bible prophecy in a bad way, yet they don’t know it because they refuse to study the very thing that warns them against what they are doing. As a shepherd in the Church myself, the questions I have for pastors are these: How can you be a faithful shepherd when skipping nearly a third of the Bible that is prophecy? Are you saying it is not a blessing to the sheep when God tells us it is? Are you smarter
and know more than God? Since you profess to love your
sheep, why keep them from God’s blessing? Is that showing
genuine love and concern for them? | image tagged in bible,prophecy,future,predictions,crystal ball | made w/ Imgflip meme maker](http://i.imgflip.com/7awb9d.jpg)
![DAY 60: CAN WE KNOW THE FUTURE? [7 of 7] World religions and cults have constantly added man’s teachings and otherwise rewritten, chopped, and spliced God’s Word. Here is more from the Bible: “Every word of God has proven to be true. He is a shield...Do not add to His words or He will reprimand you, and you will be found to be a liar.” (Proverbs 30:5–6) If we will only stick to God’s Word in the Bible, it will be a shield to protect us from man’s
harmful lies and false teachers ripping us off.
Here’s more from Revelation 22:18–19:; “I testify to everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: if anyone adds to them, God will add to him the plagues which are written in this book; and if anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God will take away his part from the tree of life and from the holy city, which are written in this book.” So God’s message is this: Don’t add to or take away from Scripture; leave it alone
because I, God, have put my stamp of approval on it 2500 times.
Isn’t that good enough? Why do we have to keep going somewhere
else? Just like the Old Testament stories of the people groups
continually straying and coming back, only to stray again,
even today we are looking for some other ideas, theories,
or prophets to guide us. Why can’t we just get in the Bible
and enjoy it straight from the mind of God!? | image tagged in bible,future,predictions | made w/ Imgflip meme maker](http://i.imgflip.com/75xjpm.jpg)
![DAY 59: CAN WE KNOW THE FUTURE? [6 of 7] One of the most significant pieces of evidence for the divine origin of the Bible is prophecy. Again, there are about 2500 prophecies and around 2000 have already been fulfilled. It is statistically impossible for the Bible’s detailed prophecies to have been fulfilled by chance, as opposed to man compiling his guesses in a book, adding “Christianese,” and giving us today’s false world religions and cults. The Bible has been thoroughly verified and explicitly warns against adding to or taking away from what God has given. The Bible repeatedly tells us to stick to the Bible and not add another word. Here are a couple examples: “You shall not add to the word that I command you, nor take from it…” (Deuteronomy 4:2) “Whatever I command you, you shall be careful to do; you shall not add to nor take away from it.” (Deuteronomy 12:32) With all due
respect, all false faiths outside the Bible completely go
against what God just commanded there. | image tagged in bible,predictions,future | made w/ Imgflip meme maker](http://i.imgflip.com/75xcny.jpg)
![DAY 58: CAN WE KNOW THE FUTURE? [5 of 7] All this Bible prophecy taking place in front of our eyes is better than Christmas! With all due respect, it’s even better than a wedding; although, my marriage is strong so don’t misconstrue what I’m saying. My point is this: In a healthy-engagement scenario, you would think the closer you get to the wedding day, the more exciting it gets, right? Now I know it’s also hectic, and it can get stressful before Jesus comes back too, but the overall feeling is one of joyous anticipation, right? Without giving away the day or hour, and using Bible prophecy, God is letting us know what will happen in advance, so we can be sure His book came from Him—period. It’s like this: when you were growing up, did
your mom tell you things more than once, or even more
than ten times? In fact, how many times did she say:; “I told you a million times...” And you were maybe thinking, “Yeah mom, you probably did because, man, here we go again...” Well, it’s the same with God: throughout the Bible, with precise predictions, (2000 of which have come true already), 2500 times He told us: THIS BOOK CAME FROM ME! So, why do we want to listen to anything else? God might be thinking: What more do I have to give you people? But again, with all due respect to the so-called shepherds in our Church today, if they keep Bible prophecy out of their messages, it’s no wonder 50% of their congregation doubts the Bible. If we’d only listen to the Bible, it would save us from a whole lot of trouble, which
includes those not saved being left behind to
go through the seven-year tribulation! | image tagged in future,prediction,bible | made w/ Imgflip meme maker](http://i.imgflip.com/75xcfz.jpg)
![DAY 57: CAN WE KNOW THE FUTURE? [4 of 7] To know we’re living in the last days, other signs the Bible gives us are the push for a one-world government, religion, and economy. We’ll also see the accompanying big-brother society, persecution of God’s people across the whole planet, figures like the Antichrist and false prophet rising, the technology developed to control the buying and selling across our entire world, and a mark-of-the-beast system to identify people through something put on their right
hand and forehead. Again, God is not going to tell us the
day or hour because we’d probably goof off until the time
comes; however, He is telling us when it’s close,
not so we can prepare for horrible times, but to encourage us by knowing the time is near when we get to see Jesus! If we love Him, aren’t we longing to see Him? God knows we are longing to be with Christ, so all these prophecies are His way of saying: Hey, Jesus will be there to rescue you soon! Why would we run from that? I want to see Him, say thank you, and hopefully give Him a big hug. And I want to have something I’ve done for Him to lay at His feet. I can’t wait to be part of Jesus’s millennial kingdom! I also want to see and be a part of the new heavens and earth. Why
wouldn’t we want to hear all the great Bible prophecy, which
tells us the time is close (again, without letting
us know the specific day and hour)? | image tagged in bible,predictions,future | made w/ Imgflip meme maker](http://i.imgflip.com/75x28b.jpg)
![DAY 56: CAN WE KNOW THE FUTURE? [3 of 7] The Apostle Paul warned that—in these last days—we will see a mindset in the Church where Christians will hire pastors who only preach pleasant things and stories made up. We won’t just see problems out in the world with all the wickedness, wars, earthquakes, famines, and pestilence; Paul says the Church will present this major issue of not giving their followers the whole Bible, and in a lot of churches they will get almost none of it. Hey, it’s a good thing we see no signs of that, right? Wrong! It’s
everywhere today! Regularly these days we get calls from here
in the US as well as Canada, South America, Europe, and as
far as Australia, always with the same legitimate complaint:; “I can’t find a healthy church!” or “I can’t find someone who will preach the Bible.” Sometimes they’ll add, “Now I’m the weird one for asking my pastor to preach the other third of the Bible (prophecy) he’s been leaving out.” And with many supposedly Christian churches, they don’t even give the other two-thirds. All their people hear is: “Hey, we’re going to help you become a better you,” or “Let’s talk about how to be financially successful,” or “Let’s build up your self-esteem.” But the Bible says we need to esteem others more than ourselves. We are to deny
ourselves, pick up our cross, and follow Christ every day. Oops!
Today’s congregations gather fluff preachers around them,
which is a major sign we’re living in the last days! | image tagged in future,predictions,bible | made w/ Imgflip meme maker](http://i.imgflip.com/75x1nx.jpg)
![DAY 54: CAN WE KNOW THE FUTURE? [1 of 7] The Bible contains 2500 prophecies, of which about 2000 have already come true. Just as there were 300 Bible prophecies successfully predicting Christ’s first coming to earth, there are another 300 telling us about Jesus’s soon second coming. However, I don’t care how nifty you are with using a calculator or deciphering the constellations, the Bible lets us know that no one will know the day, nor the hour, even though we are given signs to know when the time is close. Let me give you a quick look at some of those prophecies so you can judge whether they are lining up now: Israel will return to the land, become a nation again, become a united nation again in one day, develop a powerful military, go back to the currency of the shekel, become
a source of world conflict, and blossom as a rose in the desert (it used to
be barren land but now they are the breadbasket of the Middle East). All those have happened. With the prophecy about Israel becoming a source of world conflict, I think it’s funny that people wonder how we can know when the time of Jesus’s return is close. Well, just turn on your TV, right? What is on the news so many nights? It’s little, bitty, teeny, tiny Israel as a source of conflict for the whole world. That’s Bible prophecy! Here are more predictions from the Bible: Israel will rebuild the temple, which they are ready for and want to do that right now. The world will see an increase in travel, knowledge, unrest, earthquakes, famines, pestilence, war, strange events in the sky, global catastrophes,
false teachers, and wickedness along with a false Christ. Hey,
it’s a good thing we see none of those signs today, right? Wrong!
They all either happened or are being fulfilled today! | image tagged in future,predictions,bible | made w/ Imgflip meme maker](http://i.imgflip.com/75x11q.jpg)
![DAY 55: CAN WE KNOW THE FUTURE? [2 of 7] Another sign the Bible gives that we’re living in the last days is that the Church will go into apostasy. For those of us looking at Bible prophecy, I think sometimes we focus on the number of earthquakes rising, wars, and rumors of war; but I want to say: “Hey, don’t just look on the outside of these church walls.” If we want to know we’re in the last days, the Bible tells
us to look inside at our own camp. Two thousand years
ago, Paul wrote to Timothy about how the Church
will know when we are living in those last days. What he wrote must have blown Timothy’s mind. Paraphrasing Paul in 2 Timothy 4:3, he basically said: Hey, listen, we won’t know the day or hour, but imagine that Christians will actually attend Church services where all they get from the pulpit will be fluffy stuff and stories made up. Paul tells Timothy the last days will involve the Church gathering around themselves teachers who will just tickle their ears (knetho in
Greek, which means “pleasant things”). He says people
will turn aside from the truth and only listen to myths
or stories made up (mythois in Greek). | image tagged in future,predictions,bible | made w/ Imgflip meme maker](http://i.imgflip.com/75x0kh.jpg)
