My curiosity was tweaked yesterday by some information I saw on 'blood' moons and the prophecy that before that great and terrible day of the Lord prophesied in Joel about the moon turning to blood could be an eclipse identified as a blood moon....and that there are 4 of them predicted on seemingly significant dates for 2014 and 2015. My bubble burst when I found out today that they are not going to be visible from Israel.... It just seems that if they are significant to Israel, they should be visible from Jerusalem! But - it was a fun mental exercise, at least alerting me to the prophecy of Joel again, and an added encouragement for digging deeper.
Prophecy fascinates me. Past prophecies led Daniel to know when it was time for God to fulfill prophecy in his day. The same was true for Nehemiah.
We have seen some amazing prophecies fulfilled in our era: Israel becoming a nation again in 1948, after 2000 years of being scattered (as was predicted) with stories of miracles that helped them survive the ensuing war protesting their statehood.
Then there was the 6-day war of 1967 in which they recaptured Jerusalem so that Israel and Jerusalem were finally reunited.
There are a lot more prophecies related to Israel and to the end of time. There will be lots of false predictions to try to confuse the truth - - but the Holy Spirit will lead us in discerning what is true.
The good thing is: we should be looking forward to the unfolding of God's plan!
In the beginning....God.
At the end of time....God.
However he does what He is going to do, I just want to be aligned with His Word....but I can't see how it could be long before the final prophecies occur. The stage is set.
