If you had a dollar for every wrong prediction about
the end of the world and laid them end to end - well, let's just say you'd have
a lot of dollars. A yearning to know the future spawns psychic hotlines and
futurist seminars in the hope that we can control our destiny.
Yet it takes but one natural disaster to remind us
we are often at the mercy of unforeseen events. One accident can change forever
the course we have set for ourselves. The future arrives daily, ready or not.
You may wonder, "How will we know whether the
prophecy is from the Lord or not?" If the prophet predicts something in
the Lord's name and it does not happen, the Lord did not give the message. That
prophet has spoken on his own and need not be feared. Deuteronomy 18:21-22
Do not forget the things I have done throughout
history. For I am God- I alone! I am God, and there is no one else like me.
Only I can tell you what is going to happen even before it happens. Everything
I plan will come to pass, for I do whatever I wish. Isaiah 46:9-10
But the day of the Lord will come as unexpectedly as
a thief. Then the heavens will pass away with a terrible noise, and everything
in them will disappear in fire, and the earth and everything on it will be
exposed to judgment. 2 Peter 3:10
The King will say to those on the right, "Come,
you who are blessed by my Father, inherit the Kingdom prepared for you from the
foundation of the world."Matthew 25:34
If you want to know the future, check with the
Author. He's written the road map in the Bible. One thing we know for certain
about the future -- we'll spend it somewhere.
