Hello everyone! I'm starting to feel a little better now so I guess it will be business as usual. Just a few ideas for today:
Have you read the book of Daniel and the book of Revelation? I've read both- and I'd like to discuss it with someone. I know it's tough, but if someone's game for having their brains picked it would be a fun exercise and it would be well worth it. The end times is fascinating and quite scary.
God indeed does speak in visions - and it's comforting. Even the most well-meaning Christians rely on themselves too much - it's God who has the last say in everything! And, well, visions... they're quite mysterious, but it's a miracle to actually have one. Although, in Daniel 9:24, it says that visions and prophecies are 'sealed'... I wonder what that actually means?
I'll be continuing my rants about strange topics very soon. Or maybe I won't- if I'm being too audacious and 'controversial' tell me to back off. I mean it.
Hoping you guys are having a better month!
hehe you can think and discuss and dream about what might happen in the End Times and what all these prophecies mean, but the fact of the matter is that there are just some things that we will not be able to work out no matter how hard we try. There are some things that are clear, but there are other things that aren't. We simply need to sort out which ones fall in which category, and be humble enough to accept that there are some things that we just won't know until it actually happens.
ReplyDeleteAs you will have known from UF bible studies, some of the prophecies of Daniel, are VERY interesting, simply because they are prophecies that have been fulfilled already :) (Daniel 7 and 8) When you study it, it's fascinating how detailed those prophecies were, and how exactly they were fulfilled.
And so I suppose when looking at the prophetic literature, you need to put them together :) Look at the prophecies of the End Times, and understand that you will not know exactly what they're about. But look at the prophecies of the times that have already passed, and know that from past experience, God WILL fulfill those prophecies of the End Times in as exacting a manner as the previous prophecies were fulfilled :)
PS - glad to see that you're recovering your sanity slightly... at least enough to get back to blogging haha. Take care of yourself :P
