He said, "You must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not expect Him" (Matthew 24:44). He said He would rise from the dead after three days. That's exactly what He did. He said He would return to this earth as its Judge and its King, and that's exactly what He will do. http://biblegateway.com/passage/?search=2%20Peter%201:20-21&version=NIV 2009-10-02T11:06:19-05:00 Prophets of God aren't just sharing their opinions or personal interpretations when they preach. They're communicating God's own words and will. Prophets were used all through the Bible to teach and correct God's people when they strayed. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-most-important-relationship/the-two-minute-warning-2860 2009-09-14T14:05:26-05:00 I have to tell you, as I understand Scripture, the world has never looked so much like the world Jesus Christ is going to return to. Since Jesus was here, there has never been an Israel - until now. There's never been the prophesied return of the Jews to their land, from all over the world - until now. http://biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1%20Corinthians%2014:3&version=KJV 2009-09-11T12:56:34-05:00 Prophecy is intended to encourage and exhort believers, not to confuse or terrify them. Throughout the Bible, God used his prophets to encourage, chastise, and correct his people. http://biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew%208:16-17&version=NIV 2009-09-10T17:15:10-05:00 In Matthew, we read that Jesus healed people's infirmities and diseases. Matthew writes that this was done to fulfill a prophecy in Isaiah. http://biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1%20Thessalonians%205:19-20&version=KJV 2009-09-03T10:30:22-05:00 Paul warns the Thessalonians to be careful not to quench the fire of the Spirit nor to despise prophecy. We should be in tune with the Holy Spirit. http://biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Isaiah%207:14&version=NIV 2009-08-17T23:59:35-05:00 Long before Jesus was born, it was prophesied that he would be born to a virgin. That's exactly what happened--Christ was born to the virgin Mary, as recounted in the Gospels. This is the original prophecy from the Old Testament figure Isaiah. http://bibleforchildren.org/PDFs/russian/Isaiah%20Sees%20the%20Future%20Russian.pdf 2009-06-01T14:32:49-05:00 Russian: Isaiah lives during the reigns of 4 kings, Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz and Hezekiah.
