God's Prophetic Word As Encouragement

God’s Prophetic Word Encourages Believers

Mike Gendron

[By reading about the biblical prophets, one can quickly see that one of their main roles was to expose the evil of their day, preceding the time of judgement. In this chem the judgement will come in the form of the Tribulation, and the exposure of evil is happening now...Like always, one can choose to see it and act accordingly or one can choose to ignore it, which is typically the case, unfortunately. ]

Christians who study Bible prophecy have not been caught off guard by the widespread pestilence, lawlessness, corruption, rebellion, and demonic activity that is taking place throughout the world. The apostle Paul warned us with his divinely inspired prophetic words in 2 Timothy 3:1-5, “But realize this, that in the last days difficult times will come. For men will be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, revilers, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, unholy, unloving, irreconcilable, malicious gossips, without self-control, brutal, haters of good, treacherous, reckless, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, holding to a form of godliness, although they have denied its power.” 

Paul exhorts us to avoid such men of depraved mind who oppose the truth. They are evil men and impostors who will proceed from bad to worse, deceiving and being deceived. Yes, there have been other times in history that have been characterized by this depraved description of people. However, the prophetic time clock ushering in the last days did not start ticking again until the restoration of Israel in 1948. No other epoch of time in human history has had so many prophetic implications as there are today.

Evil Deeds Of Darkness Are Being Exposed

Never before in our lifetime have we seen such an abundance of widespread corruption, treacherous behavior, and blatant hypocrisy within our government. Its ruling mandate has now become, “Do as I say, not as I do”. To make matters even worse, the government has a willing partner in the leftist liberal media, which continues to feed gullible Americans a steady diet of deceptive narratives and insidious propaganda while suppressing the truth. These gullible people are being programmed to do whatever the media tells them to do. Perhaps this scheming collusion of “fake news” and big government has existed in the past, but now their evil deeds of darkness have been exposed by a few courageous patriots who love freedom and truth and are unwilling to compromise.

God Is Sovereignly Controlling Prophecy

Believers can be encouraged because God’s prophetic plan for the ages is being carried out just as He ordained it. In these last days, we are eye-witnesses to God’s sovereign control over everything that is taking place. He is allowing wicked men to employ their devious schemes to fulfill prophecy. God’s prophetic word tells us there will be a global government that will control the population, a global economy that will control commerce, and a global religion that will force the worship of a false Christ (Rev. 13 & 17). As these events begin to unfold, this blessed generation of God’s people can be encouraged as we keep looking for the blessed hope and the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Christ Jesus (Titus 2:13). The King of kings will defeat evil and set up His everlasting kingdom where justice and righteousness are the foundation of His throne (Psalm 89:14).
