Prophecy for Evangelism?
I cannot think of a better use of fulfilled prophecy than in evangelism, can you? This is why we need to study and know it as best we can. This is why we should be mentally prepared for the time when prophecy is fulfilled. The world will see the reality of the attempted attack on Israel led by Gog (a title, not a name), and the results of it. They will not understand exactly what just occurred. Christians will be on hand to explain it but I believe they will have a very short time to do so because of the rise of the physical Antichrist, who will redirect everyone’s attention to something else.
Stones of Remembrance
Just as Hezekiah had no clue how God planned to thwart the Assyrians, he only believed (based on Isaiah’s message from God), that God would somehow stand against Assyria. I’m sure God surpassed Hezekiah’s thinking in a very powerful way that it was unmistakably God’s work and left the king in absolute awe. Do you think he forgot that instance any time soon afterwards?
Remembering
I have found that the more I focus on the corruption, evil and the terrible events occurring in the USA and the world, I tend to think that I have to solve those problems. This, as I mentioned, gets my brain going and I end up using a good amount of energy trying to “figure” things out, when in point of fact, I don’t need to figure anything out at all. It’s all God. He will lead me. He will help me make decisions. He will provide for me, but He really needs me to get to the end of myself in thinking that I need to actually come up with solutions to problems. I can’t do a thing when it comes to the upcoming presidential election or WWIII. I have zero control. God does have control over it and His purposes will prevail, period.
Daniel 12 Final Q and A
The end of the Book of Daniel provides several questions and answers. They point to the fact that Daniel simply could not grasp all that was revealed to him. However, in our day, as we are much closer to the return of Jesus physically, things are making much more sense. As the prophetic Word unfolds, it will lead us to the seven-year Tribulation ended by the physical return of Jesus, who will then judge the nations and prepare for the Millennial Kingdom.
Babylon Rising, Pt 1
Satan holds the world in his control now. Because of this, the world continues to move toward a time of unprecedented horror. What used to be hidden decades ago is now out in the open (LGBTQ, paedophilia, drag queens, etc.), and in our faces, daring us to speak against it. This tells me that the global elite have gained much and are confident they will gain more. Some of those who escaped the Illuminati aren’t convinced the elite will get everything they want, but clearly, they will get enough, according to Scripture. Babylon’s ideology, religion, politics and commerce is adamantly rising now.
Faith to Face the Omni-war
God sees all of this. He keeps track of everything. He is also powerful enough to provide for His own and see us through the growing darkness in spite of what Satan is allowed to bring to fruition. But if we are unwilling to exercise faith in Him, we will not receive what God wants us to have (James 1:5-8).
Shocked to the Core!
What will the demeanor of the unsaved be as they stand before God in judgment? Will they hate God? Will they resist Him still or will the truth cause humility before Him? Will they grudgingly acknowledge Him as Lord of All?
How will understanding this subject cause Christians to be better witnesses of His love to the lost in order that their eyes might open in this life and embrace the only salvation that is available?
WHO’s Kidding Whom?
Does anyone actually believe God will allow Jewish people to be utterly destroyed? Satan tried that in the book of Esther. He has tried it many times since and even in the modern times, he used Hitler to rid the world of God’s chosen people. It has never succeeded. Satan knows that if he can successfully destroy every last Jewish person, then who would go into the Millennial Kingdom to fully inherit all the promises directed to Israel that God originally gave to Abraham?
An Eternal Unfulfilled Longing
Consider this please. God made all of Creation including all human beings to reflect His intended purposes. He made all things for His glory, which means in part that our lives should always glorify Him in thought, word and deed. This is how we were made and this is how Adam and Eve lived until their fall. In fact, it’s how Lucifer/Satan lived until his fall as well.
Sin blinded us to the main purpose of our life here. Instead of living lives that bring glory to God continually (as authentic Christians will do in eternity with Him), sin makes us believe lies, causing us to think that God is there for us, to make our lives happy and complete. The problem is that He most certainly wants us to be fulfilled according to His will, but that only comes when we do things His way starting with receiving His salvation. Since He created us to glorify Him and we often don’t, we are ruined. We don’t glorify Him because we are blinded to the fact that this was our supreme purpose in being created in the first place.
Daniel 11 Part One
Let’s stop here and remind ourselves that all of this was completely new to the prophet Daniel because all of it was in Daniel’s near future, compared to the latter half of Daniel 11, which speaks of events that will occur at the end of this age. All of this proves that God and only God knows the future because He determines it. He doesn’t have to go against people’s free will to get His will done. All He needs to do is find someone who is predisposed to go in a certain direction and use that person to accomplish what He will accomplish.
