Prophesy

Comment

The dictionary defines the word prophesy as "to foretell or predict". The word prophet is defined as "a person who speaks for God by divine inspiration" How many so called prophets today can say that about what they prohesy? I imagine not many, if ANY. With help from a few ministers and YOU, members of this group, we are going to be looking at some true prophets and the predictions they made. Predictions that were DIVINELY inspired by God. We will be focussing on the Book of Revelations and together we will make sense of it. Far too many people skip over prophetic passages in the Bible thinking they are to abstract to understand, that it is simbolic not litteral. Will it surprise you to know that when god foretells something, it happens JUST AS HE SAID IT WOULD? Jesus's prediction of the Temple's destruction came true TO THE LAST LETTER. In 70 AD the temple was destroyed utterly. Scavengers looking to claim treasure from the broken down temple litterally didn't leave one stone on top of another. Why i'm going to be focussing on Revelations as apposed to any other book in the Bible? My reasons are 4-fold:
* Verse 3 contains a very special blessing promised to those tht read the book. Of course there are blessings to be found everywhere else in the Bible, but this is the only book that promises a special blessing for those read and hear its words. (Remember that this book closes with a repeat of this promise to those in addition to reading and hearing it, also KEEPS it. {22:7})
* It reveals God's plan for the future
* This book gives clearer detail concerning Bible prophesy that any other book in the Bible.
* This book completes the circle of Bible truths.
In my first study lesson I will explain that last point more clearly.

I will end my diatribe this morning by giving you this GOLDEN RULE of interprtation: "When the plain sense of Scripture makes common sense, seek NO OTHER SENSE." In other words, UNLESS a passage is obvious in it's simbolism, it should be taken litterally.

Love in Christ

First of all: appologies for my silence the last two days. Gremlins in my modem made it impossible to get on-line.

THIS IS AN OPEN INVITATION TO ANYBODY WHO HAS EVER WONDERED ABOUT THE FUTURE. In this group we will discuss Bible Prophesy.Starting on Thursday 25 June 2009, I plan to lead a weekly Bible Study Course using this group. As I will never call myself an expert, I call on those of you who have the knowledge and understanding, to help me in this quest for deeper understanding of the clues left in God's word as to what is happening in our World today.
