This is the moment to spend time in the Bible and find out what messages God has for you. Bible prophecy needs to be studied carefully. As we study prophecy, we find that some events are still in the future, and some are happening all around us right now.
How can we know what the symbols in prophecy mean? The symbols in prophecy have a meaning found elsewhere in the Bible. Our end time bible prophecy videos on the Earth Last Day Bible Channel help you understand the meaning of those symbols.
1. Bible Prophecy: The Meaning of Prophetic Symbols
Winds in Bible prophecy mean strife and war, for example. Beasts in Bible prophecy, like the four beasts in Daniel 7, mean kingdoms. The sea in Bible prophecy means multitudes — tongues, peoples. We cannot interpret the Bible however we want; in fact, it says no prophecy of Scripture is of any private interpretation.
All Bible prophecy is interpreted by the Bible itself or by history, as many prophecies in the Bible are about historical events. God wants us to study history and find the meaning and dates of those prophecies, to discover that only God could tell us things in advance. In fact, the Bible says, “I tell you things before they come to pass, that you may know that I am God.”
2. Bible Prophecy: The Proof for the Bible
One of the great reasons we know the Bible is true is Bible prophecy. Atheists often ask me to prove the Bible is true. I tell them: Bible prophecy. Because Bible prophecy sometimes tells us, 2,000 years in advance, what will happen. We know that:
No man can say what will happen on July 1, year 3000.
Since God can tell us what will happen in the future, we know that God lives outside of time. God is divine, as only a divine being could know the future. And we can trust the Bible to be from God.
3. Bible Prophecy: Only God Knows the Future
Since only God knows the future, we can trust the Bible. This is the proof that what we teach through our end time bible prophecy videos is from God. No man can explain the future, let alone a thousand years in advance of an event. Some Bible prophecies go back 2,000 years before the events they describe — such as Revelation 11 and the French Revolution, or Daniel 7 and the papacy.
We know we can trust the Bible because all the prophecies in the Bible that were meant to be fulfilled by now have come to pass. Those which are yet to be fulfilled, we can trust to be inspired by God and true. The mind of man, by contrast, cannot be trusted in this way.
This is the problem in our society: we trust human minds too much. We trust human judgment and human observation, but what someone observes only passes through the filter of that person’s own perception — and who knows if that perception is true or false?
4. Bible Prophecy: The Human Brain
The human brain was created by God, so it is powerful and magnificent. But many people forget that the human brain has been affected by the fall of man. Since Adam and Eve sinned, mankind’s perceptive powers have been corrupted. The Bible says, “He that trusts in his own heart is a fool.”
God tells us we cannot trust in our own hearts; we have to trust in God alone, as only God knows the truth — and this is the reason God gave us the Bible. God gave us the Bible because humans cannot always discern right from wrong on their own. If man’s perceptive powers had not been corrupted by the fall of Adam, then yes, we could agree there would be no need for the Bible. In fact, in the Garden of Eden, God did not give Adam and Eve a written Bible, because they had perfect discernment. Bible prophecy tells us that human beings shall wax worse and worse, deceiving and being deceived.
5. Bible Prophecy: What Can We Trust?
We can trust the Bible, nature, and the call of the Holy Spirit, for those who can discern the Holy Spirit’s voice. Once we understand that humans cannot always be trusted, and that humans fail more often than they are right, we begin to see why the Bible is right in saying that human reasoning is frail and often makes mistakes.
The Bible never fails. Bible prophecies written many years ago by holy men, as they were moved by the Holy Spirit, can be trusted, since all the Bible prophecy meant for before our time has come to pass. We see that even highly educated people do not always tell the truth. Truth is not a question of having more knowledge — arriving at truth is a question of being honest.
Often, when I speak with atheist friends, they think that knowledge is what’s needed to arrive at truth. But the Bible says that only honest people will receive and arrive at the truth. One can have little knowledge, but if they are honest, they will accept the truth. It is all about honesty.
Understanding Bible prophecy is all about having a heart that is sincere, honest, and true, so that it can be guided by the Holy Spirit into all truth.
Repeat after me: Father God, forgive my sins. Help me to find the truth; guide me into all truth. Help me to follow You and to be happy, prosperous, and blessed. Give me the desires of my heart, in the name of Jesus. Amen.
