![[5 of 5] DO YOU WANT TO HEAR ABOUT THE FUTURE? "One the most significant evidences for the divine origin of the Bible is prophecy (2500 prophecies, 2000 already 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 world religion and cult books). 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 away from it (Deuteronomy 4:2).” "Whatever I command you, you shall be careful to do; you shall not add 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. They have constantly added man's teachings and 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 reprove you, and you will be proved 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 this book: if anyone adds to them, God will add to him the plagues which were written in this book; and if anyone takes away from the words of book this prophecy, God will take away his part in the tree of life and in 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 constantly 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,prophecy,end times,god,jesus,christian | made w/ Imgflip meme maker](http://i.imgflip.com/3xd4md.jpg)
![[3 of 5] DO YOU WANT TO HEAR ABOUT THE FUTURE? Other signs the Bible gives for us to know we're in the last days, is the push for a one world government, religion, and economy, with its 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 some Mark of the Beast system to identify people with 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 instead, it’s to encourage us that 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' 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 the day and hour)? | image tagged in bible,prophecy,end times,god,jesus,christian | made w/ Imgflip meme maker](http://i.imgflip.com/3xb2lm.jpg)
![[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](http://i.imgflip.com/3x7coi.jpg)
![DO PEOPLE ASK YOU FOR PROOF OF GOD? [3 of 3]
Here's another fulfilled prophecy from God: In the book of Ezekiel, Amos predicted the city of Tyre would be attacked by many nations, its fortresses would fail, their stones, timber, and soil would be thrown into the sea, and the remains of the city would be used to spread fishing nets. By now you know it happened just that way. Several different nations attempted Tyre's destruction but the people would retreat to their island fortress out in the bay, probably taunting the attackers who could not reach them. Finally Alexander the Great came along and dismantled the houses and other structures of Tyre, throwing them into the sea to make a land bridge out to those people on the island. Would you say the Tyre folks probably stopped taunting Alexander's army by the time they were half way there? So Alexander the Great wiped the city of Tyre completely clean because the ruins all went into the water to make the land bridge. And do you know what the area of the original city is used for today? It's a flat barren rock, which makes the perfect place to spread fishing nets. All that is exactly what God predicted, and it was well in advance. Over and over again, God prophesied the rise and fall of nations. And God did these sort of specific predictions 2500 times in the Bible, with 2000 already coming true. I mean, give me a break! How much more proof do we need?
With each one, God is telling us, "The Bible came from Me!" | image tagged in prophecy,prediction,bible,god,proof,christian | made w/ Imgflip meme maker](http://i.imgflip.com/3tn5d1.jpg)
![[4 of 5] DO YOU WANT TO HEAR ABOUT THE FUTURE? 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 marriage scenario, you would think the closer you get to the wedding day, the more exciting it gets, right? Now I know it's also stressful and it can get stressful before Jesus comes back too, but still 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's probably 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 your 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 bible,prophecy,end times,god,jesus,christian | made w/ Imgflip meme maker](http://i.imgflip.com/3xb4ow.jpg)
