FAITH with EVIDENCE - The Truth of Prophecy through Proof
About Prophecy
Knowing what is going to happen before it happens gives us the opportunity of favorable advantage.
History tells us the past, so that we can learn from it. Bible prophecy tells us the future, so that we can prepare for what is to come. The purpose of God’s prophecy is to reveal what the future holds giving us warning, direction, hope, and comfort so that we can choose and act wisely.
The track records of Bible prophecy are incredibly accurate. All of them have been precisely fulfilled throughout the recorded history as of the Messianic prophecy, which was prophesied throughout the Old Testament and was fully fulfilled in the New Testament. The event of Christ the sin bearing servant of God for our redemption was vividly detailed in the book of Isaiah 52-53 over 700 years before it came to pass, giving us one of many powerful proofs of the accuracy of Bible prophecies.
The most talked about Bible prophecy to be fulfilled is the remaining end-time prophecy, the second coming of Jesus Christ. The signs foretold by Jesus in the books of Matthew 24, Mark 13, and Luke 17 are evident today. The final tribulations to the world may well happen in this generation.
“Assuredly, I say to you, this generation will by no means pass away till all these things take place.” Matthew 24:34
"For in those days there will be tribulation, such as has not been since the beginning of the creation which God created until this time, nor ever shall be. And unless the Lord had shortened those days, no flesh would be saved; but for the elect’s sake, whom He chose, He shortened the days." Mark 13:19-20
True believers will be raptured (caught up) before the seven-year tribulations come upon the whole world.
“Because you have kept My command to persevere, I also will keep you from the hour of trial which shall come upon the whole world, to test those who dwell on the earth.” Revelation 3:10
"... I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also.” John 14:3
Rapture will occur (caught up to meet Christ in the air). “But that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, but My Father only.” Matthew 24:36
“... Come up here, and I will show you things which must take place after this.” Revelation 4:1
“Behold, I tell you a mystery: We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed – in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.” 1 Corinthians 15:51-52
“I tell you, in that night there will be two men in one bed: the one will be taken and the other will be left. Two women will be grinding together: the one will be taken and the other left. Two men will be in the field: the one will be taken and the other left.” Luke 17:34-36
"For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord. Therefore comfort one another with these words." 1 Thessalonians 4:16-18
There have always been natural disasters, wars, and political upheavals throughout human history. But the prophetic signs today are convincing that the end of time is near, because of all the events are coming together as prophesized in the scripture. “Now learn this parable from the fig tree: When its branch has already become tender and puts forth leaves, you know that summer is near.“ Matthew 24:32
Signs preceding the final 7 year-tribulations on earth:
• The return of the Jews to Israel as a nation
• The increase interest of one world religion and government
• The increase violence among nations and rumors of wars
• The wide spread of false prophets and apostasies
• The increase hatred against any thing about Christ and His believers
• The increase of knowledge
• The spread of the gospel throughout the world
Today we know that the potential astrological and geological devastations, pandemic deceases, famines, and many man-made destructions can lead to our annihilation. Most importantly we see the intense polarization between good and evil. The extreme view setting the stage for the one world religion and one world government control is looming in the horizon.
Yearning for peace, people are poised to compromise by supporting the false prophet (the dragon) and the Antichrist (the beast) as prophesized. The collaboration of the dragon and the beast makes powerful bedfellows allowing them to control both the mind and the body of the population.
Technology for the common good has always been utilized by the devil. The Mark 666 prophesized in the book of Revelation will soon become a reality. Computing capability with Yottabyte capacity enables dynamic profiling and surveillance of each individual in real time, giving the dictator turnkey totalitarian control over every kindred and tongue on the planet. (Capacity Note: Gigabyte, Terabyte, Petabyte, Exabyte, Zettabyte, and Yottabyte. Yottabyte = one quadrillion gigabyte.)
“He causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads, and that no one may buy or sell except one who has the mark or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.” Revelation 13:16-17
”So they worshiped the dragon who gave authority to the beast; and they worshiped the beast, saying, “Who is like the beast? Who is able to make war with him?” Revelation 13:4
“It was granted to him to make war with the saints and to overcome them. And authority was given him over every tribe, tongue, and nation.” Revelation 13:7
"Then he shall confirm a covenant with many for one week; But in the middle of the week he shall bring an end to sacrifice and offering.” Daniel 9:27
The precursor of the end-time prophecy count down was fulfilled in the most unlikely event when Israel, the chosen people became a nation once again in May 1948. (background Deuteronomy 4)
"For I will take you from among the nations, gather you out of all countries, and bring you into your own land." Ezekiel 36:24 (Ezekiel 37:14, Jeremiah 31:8, Amos 9:15)
“Who has heard such a thing? Who has seen such things? Shall the earth be made to give birth in one day? Or shall a nation be born at once? For as soon as Zion was in labor, She gave birth to her children.” Isaiah 66:8
Surrounded by powerful enemies and against all odds, the world witnessed a miraculous victory of Israel in the 1967 six-day war. So the end-time prophecy of destruction continues, but Christ will come in victory at the end (Revelation 20:9).
"And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not troubled; for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be famines, pestilences, and earthquakes in various places. All these are the beginning of sorrows." Matthew 24:6-8
"Take heed that no one deceives you. For many will come in My name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and will deceive many." Matthew 24:4-5 "For false christs and false prophets will rise and show great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect." Matthew 24: 24
“And you will be hated by all for My name’s sake. But he who endures to the end will be saved.” Matthew 10:22
“But you, Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book until the time of the end; many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall increase.” Daniel 12:4
“And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come.” Matthew 24:14
"Behold, I am coming quickly! Hold fast what you have, that no one may take your crown." Revelation 3:11
"Watch therefore, and pray always that you may be counted worthy to escape all these things that will come to pass, and to stand before the Son of Man.” Luke 21:36
Persecuting followers of Jesus Christ will intensify. Leaders of low IQ and high ego often generate severe damages. They are stiff-necked and deficient in the wisdom of God.
"Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes, And prudent in their own sight!" Isaiah 5:21
Be ready for the darkness of evil and put on the whole armor of God.
“For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.” Ephesians 6:12
“And behold, I am coming quickly, and My reward is with Me, to give to every one according to his work. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End, the First and the Last.” Revelation 22:12-13
"Blessed is he who reads and those who hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written in it; for the time is near." Revelation 1:3
The return of our Lord is a glorious beginning for all believers. Blessed are those who trust Jesus and hold fast in the power of His might. We shall inherit the tree of life in His kingdom. It’s all between you and God.
