God's Words Of Comfort!
"And so we have the prophetic word confirmed, which you
do well to heed as a light that shines in a dark place, until
the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts."
2 Peter 1: 19
Scholars have identified 1,845 biblical references
to the Second Coming. And over three hundred
of these are found in the New Testament.
It would be futile to argue that prophecy is not a significant part of
the Bible. Not to study, learn from, or be comforted by the prophetic
Scriptures is to ignore a large part of the Word of God. The apostle
Paul taught the Ephesian church “the whole counsel of God”
(Acts 20: 27)
Many Jews in Berea studied the Scriptures daily to see if
Paul’s words about Jesus the Messiah were true (Acts 17:11).
Words of prophecy are given by God to strengthen,
encourage,
and comfort His people (1 Corinthians 14: 3)
When you don’t know what the future holds, remember Who
holds the future. God’s fulfilled prophetic Word gives assurance
from the past, peace in the present, and hope for the future.
"An interest in prophecy which is merely
speculative and sensational comes
perilously close to being sinful."
William Graham Scroggie
