Prophecy in Scripture

 

Me:  Lets walk on the Riverwalk today.

Prodigal:  Sounds good and you can share while we walk.

 

This is from the book Growing Deep in the Christian Life by Charles Swindoll

 

–One out of every 30 verses in the Bible mentions the subject of Christ’s return or the end of time.

–Of the 216 chapters in the New Testament, there are well over 300 references to the return of Jesus Christ.

–That means one-twentieth of the entire New Testament is dedicated to the subject of our Lord’s return.

–In the Old Testament, such well-known and reliable men of God as Job, Moses, David, Isaiah, Jeremiah, Daniel, most of the minor prophets, fixed at least part of their attention on the Lord’s return.

–Christ spoke of His return often, especially after He had revealed His death.  He never did so in vague or uncertain terms.

–Those who lived on following His teaching, who established the churches and wrote the Scriptures in the first century frequently mentioned His return in their preaching and in their writings.

 

1 Thessalonians 4:16-17

For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trumpet of God; and the dead in Christ shall rise first.  Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the  clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and thus we shall always be with the Lord.
