1 | The scriptures and U.S. Mid East Policy | Rev 12:12 | BradK | 137831 | ||
Pastor Glenn, I welcome your thoughts and comments on this topic. I agree with you. Incidentally, C.H. Spurgeon preached series of sermons over his years dealing with topics from the newspaper. I'm amazed at how scripture speaks to current events- especially in the Mid-East. We can be certain that there will be no true peace until the Prince of Peace either returns or is acknowledged by Israel as its' Messiah! The answer to "why" Israel cannot find peace is that they have not repented. The major call of the OT prophets was for repentance. As Dr. Jerry Benjamin writes, "..prophecy is often interpreted by the newspaper headlines rather than Scriptural revelation. And, unfortunately, many Christians today have become "prophecy-junkies!" "Because all of prophecy centers on a Person, not events, programs, places, or predictions. God never gave us prophecy to enlighten our minds with information or satisfy our curiosity about the future. God designed prophecy to focus on His Son, the Lord Jesus Christ, so that we may know Him!" "The Word of God clearly declares that Jesus Christ is the spirit of prophecy (Rev. 19:10).We must never separate the purpose of prophecy from the Person of prophecy. For all prophecy not only centers on Christ, but is also fufilled in Christ." I hope this adds something of value to your comments. God Bless, BradK |
