as many of you know i love history, but i am starting to study biblical prophecy just as much. with the current unrest in the middle east i have been watching and reading more about the israel response. i tend to watch them more now, because i want to see how it is going to unfold. with that said as christians do we believe the prophecies to be true, or just stories to guide us on how to live?
for some individuals they believe that the stories in the bible are just stories, myths. some believe that they are myths like atlantis, or the lost city of gold. the book of daniel is a complete prophecy for his time, as well as for the future. of course there is debate on whether or not revelations is a prelude as to what is to become of the world before CHRIST comes again. there are some that believe that both books and their prophecies had to do with the fall of babylon and the roman empire.
what is true is that throughout history the persecution of israel and jews keeps repeating itself. there is always someone, or a group of individuals that want to erase the jewish population; GOD's chosen. i think as most americans we see nothing in the bible that includes us in this, but our comparison to rome is something to consider. what we should watch is the relationship between the united states and israel. we were at one time a very close ally, but current events are unfolding that may show that is not true any longer. (in genesis GOD condemns those that are not friends of HIS chosen)
do i believe the bible to be the true word of GOD; yes. do i believe the prophecies of daniel and revelations; yes. there is a site that i have just found that regards biblical prophecy and what is currently happening in the world. it refers to prophecies that have been fulfilled, for example the birth of CHRIST, as well as the death. if i had read this 2 or 3 months ago i would have been frightened by it, but my relationship with CHRIST has grown.
this is probably by far the most radical (and weirdest) blog posting i have done. i am still trying to figure how i should even digest all of this. i did a study on daniel and revelations, but i'm still confused by these books. the idea of accepting a spiritual world that we have never seen is too far out there for most of us - me included. i don't quite understand though how some can believe in psychics, or other paranormal events, but not GOD and satan.
scripture references - daniel and revelations - just take a chance and read them.
