Did you know the kingdoms since Ancient Babylon-- Medo-Persia, Greece, Rome, and the divided kingdoms since were all predicted to occur in the Old Testament writings before they occurred? Granted most people are probably not familiar with ancient Babylon, or Medo-Persia, but Greece- well, Greece still exists in name so obviously most are familiar with Greece. Ancient Greece was conquered by Rome and was not its own individually run country any longer. After Rome the lands were divided so that no longer would any one ruling kingdom control so much of the Middle East.
The Bible is a book of prophecy that most don't concern themselves with today. Every Christian should be concerned though. Jesus was predicted right there in the first few chapters of Genesis. Jesus when He ministered upon earth was all about prophecy- His entire message was one of the prophesied last trumpet sounding - the end of all evil and the eternal reign of His Kingdom. Jesus preached salvation towards that end, so people would be able to choose eternal life through His mercy and grace. Eternal life is a prophecy. One day He will return and sound the Last Trumpet and those who died with Him as their Savior will rise, and those who are left living who are His will rise too. Prophecy.
How wondrous it is to know that God's word to us has allowed us to know so much of our future.
Some will hold fast to the things we cannot know, the mysteries that are God's, and claim He doesn't exist simply because they haven't been made aware of all His ways. People will make up all sorts of things as they fumble about denying God. They ultimately land on there was nothing and from nothing came something- all very scientifically- somehow. Nothing. That word nothing by its very meaning does not allow for anything at all whatsoever. As soon as someone tries to say something came from nothing they've lost all credibility having instantly contradicted themselves. Something came from Someone, the nothing was dispelled by Someone, not nothing creating something from nothing.
We have an amazing God who has so many wonders for us, so many, if we'd but seek to know Him
Heb_11:3 Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.
Ecc 3:11 He hath made every thing beautiful in his time: also he hath set the world in their heart, so that no man can find out the work that God maketh from the beginning to the end.
Ecc 8:17 Then I beheld all the work of God, that a man cannot find out the work that is done under the sun: because though a man labour to seek it out, yet he shall not find it; yea further; though a wise man think to know it, yet shall he not be able to find it.
Job 11:7 Canst thou by searching find out God? canst thou find out the Almighty unto perfection?
Mat 11:27 All things are delivered unto me of my Father: and no man knoweth the Son, but the Father; neither knoweth any man the Father, save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal him.
Rom 11:33 O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! how unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past finding out!
Rom 11:34 For who hath known the mind of the Lord? or who hath been his counsellor?
Rom 11:35 Or who hath first given to him, and it shall be recompensed unto him again?
Rom 11:36 For of him, and through him, and to him, are all things: to whom be glory for ever. Amen.
