FROM YOUR PASTOR’S DESK:
WHERE ARE WE NOW?
“We also have the prophetic word made more sure, which you do well to heed as a light that shines in a dark place, until the day dawns and the Morning Star arises in your hearts.” 2 Pet. 1:19, NKJV
Just like yesterday’s question, what would Jesus say, do and act if He were in my shoes today? Which I know some are still working on, recalling past experiences in trust and deliverance from lesser-sized crisis than this corona virus crisis, we need to ask ourselves this pivotal question:
Based on what you already know from the prophecies of the Bible and magnified by the SOP, where are we now in point of time, starting from 1844?
This question is specifically addressed to the “remnant” who “keep the commandments of God and “have the Spirit of prophecy, which is the Testimony of Jesus Christ.” Rev. 14:12; 19:10.
This is the people whom God entrusted advanced knowledge of the future by way of the prophetic gift of the Spirit of prophecy. Thus they should not be behind the arc of fulfilling prophecy but ahead of it. That is one of the purposes of prophecy-to keep you not merely abreast and up-to-date but prepared before they occur. Only thus can one be shielded from Satan’s unnumbered schemes and be surprised and deceived by his counterfeits. Satan has studied prophecy long before we did. But God in His mercy “took extra time off” to provide us the details of what we should beware of. Have we been diligent students of prophecy?
Once again, WHERE ARE WE NOW IN PROPHECY?
Refer to the “law and the testimony” for your answers.
I look forward to an encouraging response from the commandment-keeping saints! NMF
