Prophesy Continues to Unfold as Written in the Bible
With passage of time, the Bible becomes a more proven and significant text for all who
believe God and His Word. As the human race becomes more sophisticated, educated and
illuminated, God‟s Word in both the Old and New Testaments is increasingly more easily
confirmed, understood in greater measures of revelation and multiple realms, spiritual and
natural truths unfolding for all the world to see. The technology computer age has revealed
mathematical patterns, written long ago. The “Bible Codes” demonstrate further how
everything has already been measured, and that even the telling of it all is specifically
arranged as only the Creator could. The meanings of names in those long lists of lineage, for
example, tell a story. In contrast people in Hosea chapter 4:6 “… are destroyed for lack of
knowledge.” God said that in the last days knowledge would abound! (Daniel 12:4)
Christians have known the Bible to be God‟s inerrant Word. Faithful Jewish scribes watched
over the Old Testament of that Word with great diligence. The whole Bible, however, was
“stored” away from the common man by those who did not want to be likened to the Anti-
Christ. For a long time only the elite had access to both Testaments and only they could read
it and teach the masses its content. Coming out of the Dark Ages, when the Light of God‟s
Word was hidden away for centuries, the Bible “came through fire” when persecuted
believers risked their lives to share it with everyone. With perfect timing, archeologists
continue to “prove” its content, the accuracy which has been retained over the centuries. The
famous “Dead Sea Scrolls” find by the Bedouin shepherd last century attest to the faithfully
guarded Word in Isaiah, just one example. The evidence continues to accrue that the Bible is
the Word of God and that the power of God‟s Word is revealed within.
How great is Our God?
It‟s truly a Blessed Assurance, knowing God is communicating with
us continually and that as we grow up we can understand better the wonder of His Mighty
Love and provision for us! Prophesies of the Old Testament especially are difficult to dismiss
unless one is truly blinded. Jesus, in the New Testament, foretold of the last days as well.
When the „academics‟ try to disprove the Word, remember, they may not know it. For
example, the number of years in the history of Israel, by God‟s account, do not include the
years of Israel‟s captivity.
Jeremiah 31:3
“... For I will forgive their iniquity and their sin. I will remember no more.”
Isaiah 43:25
I, even I, am He who blots out your transgressions for my own sake. And I will not remember your sins.
Psalms 103:12
As far as the east is from the west, so far has He removed our transgressions from us.
