Why I Love Biblical Prophecy
(Part
One)
“Blessed is he that readeth, and they that hear the words of this prophecy,and keep those things which are written therein…” Revelation 1:3
I am in awe of the prophetic Word of God. To be in awe of God’s Word is to be in reverence of His holy Name, which is the full expression of who He is. In Psalm 138:2 the psalmist declares “thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name.” Since I was saved as a child, my soul has experienced a deep longing to know God and to understand the prophetic Scriptures.
I know that my love for Bible prophecy triggers an immediately image in the minds of some people. They think I am strange and that I have gone off on some wild and insignificant tangent. But we must realize that Bible prophecy has received an overall bad reputation because of sensationalist preachers who merely want to attract large crowds and develop a growing contingent of followers. Too many preachers have made stupid and unreasonable predictions that have not come true. Therefore, many people are turned off and turned away from Biblical prophecy. How sad!
