MY FRIENDS, THERE IS HOPE IN PROPHECY IF YOU BELIEVE?
Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth; for the first heaven and the first earth passed away, ….And I saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, made ready as a bride adorned for her husband.
And I heard a loud voice from the throne, saying, “Behold, the tabernacle of God is among men, and He will dwell among them, and they shall be His people, and God Himself will be among them, and He will wipe away every tear from their eyes; and there will no longer be any death; there will no longer be any mourning, or crying, or pain; the first things have passed away.” Rev 21:1-4 (NASB)
My friends, our hope lies in prophecy “and He will wipe away every tear from their eyes; and there will no longer be any death; there will no longer be any mourning, or crying, or pain;”
In addition, God “changes times and seasons; he deposes kings and raises up others. He gives wisdom to the wise and 
knowledge to the discerning.” Daniel 2:21 (NIV) remaining in Daniel 2, the king of Babylon, Nebuchadnezzar has a dream, and only Daniel can interpret it.
In this Dream God gives His pilgrims a road-map of history and prophecy, from beginning generations, to his kingdom starting with Babylon, Medo-Persia, Greece, Rome, and then in Daniel 2:44 (NASB) it tells us “In the days of those kings the God of heaven will set up a kingdom which will never be destroyed.
In addition, that kingdom will not be left for another people; it will crush and put an end to all these kingdoms, but it will itself endure forever.” My friends this is why prophecy is so important, as we search the scriptures for answers.
Prophecy gives us hope, history and prophecy in God’s word are mirror images until we get to the ending of the story and God’s word tells us His kingdom will endure forever where as history has a different ending.
The road to the future leads us smack into the wall. We simply ricochet off the alternatives that destiny offers. Our survival is no more than a question of 25 50 or perhaps 100 years.” (Jacques Cousteau) history gives no hope but my friends our hope lies in our faith to believe in God’s word and prophecy.
In addition, the end of the story continues, it never ends it “endures forever” throughout the senseless ages of eternity. But like the three Hebrew Boys, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego, who knew where their hope came from, when asked to bow down to a golden image but refuse, we must also seek that same hope.
The king then tells them you will immediately be cast into the midst of a furnace of blazing fire; and what god is there who can deliver you out of my hands?” my friends when trials come into our life and there seems to be no hope, seek hope in the fulfillment of God’s prophecy in God’s word, it has never been wrong, because we serve an Omniscience: all knowing God.
“O Nebuchadnezzar, we have no need to answer you in this matter. If that is the case, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us
from the burning fiery furnace, and He will deliver us from your hand, O king. But if not, let it be known to you, O king, that we will not serve your gods” Daniel 3:16-16 (NKJV)
But if not, they knew prophecy and my friends if you continue to read Daniel 3, you will see the Son of God came from His throne above and walk with them, in the midst of that fiery furnace. And He will also walk with each of us in every situation and circumstances of our life on our way to that land that will endure forever.
My friends I hear the sound of a mighty rushing wind and it’s closer now than it’s ever been. I can almost hear the trumpet as Gabriel sounds the call at the midnight cry we’ll be going home. My friends Don’t allow the god of this world to keep you from, that land that will endure forever and when you get there I want to introduce you to all of my love one’s, and I will be happy to meet yours.
So my friends today. Stay focused, remain faithful, love one another and endure till the end and never forget to STUDY&PRAY
