To Christians

We are living in a time in which the Bible says more about, than when Jesus Himself was here on Earth in bodily form. Approximately 28% of the Bible deals with prophecy, so it is obviously an important part of what God wants us to know and understand, but yet it is rarely dealt with properly in many of the main stream Churches.

We read in Luke 12 v37:

Blessed are those servants, whom the lord when He cometh shall find watching:

This is a clear indication that Jesus expects us to be watching for His return.
Also when Jesus rode into Jerusalem on a colt, fulfilling the prophecy of Zechariah 9:9

Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion; shout, O daughter of Jerusalem: behold, thy King cometh unto thee: he is just, and having salvation; lowly, and riding upon an ass, and upon a colt the foal of an ass.

He wept over Jerusalem in Luke 19 v41 and then said in v42-44

v42: Saying, If thou hadst known, even thou, at least in this thy day, the things which belong unto thy peace! but now they are hid from thine eyes.

v43: For the days shall come upon thee, that thine enemies shall cast a trench about thee, and compass thee round, and keep thee in on every side,

v44: And shall lay thee even with the ground, and thy children within thee; and they shall not leave in thee one stone upon another; because thou knewest not the time of thy visitation." (Emphasis mine)

If this is an indication that the Lord expected them to know the prophetic scripture of His first coming, then surely He expects His followers of today to know the prophetic scriptures of His second coming and be watching?

To unbelievers seeking truth:

The Bible is the only collection of books ever written that can boast an unbroken track record of 100% prophetic fulfilment. It is simply astonishing and amazing that multiple prophecies written many hundreds of years before a specific event are accurate to the very day.

Even a simple mathematical analysis of the probability factor of these prophecies happening by chance points to a supernatural source or inspiration for these writings. Only God, who is outside our time domain could know the end from the beginning!

So if we can conclude that the Bible is indeed highly accurate in many prophecies within its pages, then surely we can confidently assume that the rest of the information we are presented with is also accurate, true and inspired by a loving and powerful creator God.

For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
John 3:16 (NIV)
