[2 of 5] DO YOU WANT TO HEAR ABOUT THE FUTURE? 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 those last days. What he wrote must've blown Timothy's mind. Paul basically said, "Listen, can you imagine this? It's actually going to happen, man. We won't know the day or hour but hey, it's getting close when we see this: We Christians will actually still attend Church services but all we'll 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 only "pleasant things"). He says people will turn aside from the truth and only listen to myths or stories made up ("mythois" in Greek). During the last days, Paul is saying we'll see this mindset happen in the Church. It won't just be out in the world with all that wickedness, wars, earthquakes, famines, and pestilence; Paul says the Church will only be giving us pleasant topics and stories made up. 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 U.S., 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 my 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! Still, congregations today, gathering fluff preachers around them, are a major sign we're living in the last days. | image tagged in bible,prophecy,end times,god,jesus,christian | made w/ Imgflip meme maker

WHERE EXACTLY DO WE LIKLY SEE JESUS IN THE OLD TESTAMENT? It's the important issue of “theophanies" and “Christophanies." "Theos" is God and the rest of the word means “appearances." "Christos" is "Christ" so Christophanies is the theological term meaning this: Even though Jesus took on a human-flesh virgin birth at His First Coming, a lot of theologians say, because He's eternal, prior to that time, there were preincarnate (before Christ took on a human body), experiences of Jesus Christ in the Old Testament. How can He do that? Well, He is God, which means He's eternal, being able to appear whenever He'd like. But the time we focus on is when He became a baby that grew to be a man, who saved the world by dying on a cross for our sins. A few quick Old Testament examples are these: First, the many appearances of the "Angel of the Lord."; Some say that very well could have been Jesus. And it's not alarming to say “angel" for Jesus because the term actually means "messenger," or "angelos" in Greek. So in the Old Testament instances with the "Angel of the Lord, or "messenger of the Lord," Jesus the Son delivered the message Himself. It does not mean He's an angel. Other possible appearances of Jesus in the Old Testament are Genesis Chapter 12, where the Lord appeared to Abraham. Some say that's also an example of Christophany and theophany. Genesis 18 tells us Abraham had two angel visitors, along with God himself. So some say that was probably Jesus. Genesis 32 was Jacob wrestling all night long with a man, which, instead, was God. Who do you think that probably was? Again, many would say it was probably a preincarnate Jesus. Other possibilities are in Exodus 24 and Deuteronomy 31. So examples go on and on and you can look deeper into it if you'd

IS THE BIBLE A HISTORICALLY RELIABLE DOCUMENT?
There are three tests. The first is bibliographic, which examines whether the documents we have today are the same as those originally written by the authors. "This test considers the quantity of existing manuscripts and the time between the earliest copies and the originals.” When people try to mock the Bible as untrustworthy, keep this in mind: there are only 49 copies of Aristotle's writings in existence and each is at least 1400 years removed from the original. It get's worse: of the writings of Plato, who used to be my son's favorite philosopher (or maybe that was "Play-Doh”), there are only 7 copies on the planet and they are 1200 years removed from the original. Contrast that with the Bible, of which we have over 24,000 copies and they're finding more all the time. The earliest of those is only 25 years removed from the original and even from within the lifetime of the actual authors. Yet people don't think to question the authenticity of Aristotle or Plato's writings while they scoff at the Bible. It makes no sense. And the Bible’s preservation story gets better than 25 years. In the same community where the Dead Sea Scrolls, (with their Old Testament copies), were found, just in the last few years they have actually found copies of the New Testament books too. If you use the dates people estimate for the writing of the New Testament manuscripts, based on what they just found, we now have portions of the Gospel of Mark from within 13 years of being written, portions of Romans from within 11 years, James within 8 years, Acts within 5 years, 1 Timothy within 5 years, and portions a 2 Peter from the exact same year it was estimated to have been written. Yet people want to mock and scoff at the Bible. Excuse me?! It just doesn't make sense.
