The Future

Luke: "Will they die?"

Yoda: "Difficult to see. Always in motion is the future."

Wouldn't it be nice to be able to see into the future? To know what is going to happen before it actually does? Err.....maybe not.

God told his prophets about the future. He told many of them about the Messiah who was to come - Jesus. He also spoke about what would take place at the time of the end. It's all written in the Bible.

So, why do we walk around like none of these teachings matter? Why do we ignore the very words of Almighty God? 

Our main problem, as it has always been, is that we simply don't listen. Some churches don't even teach about the end times. Why not?  These prophecies are written in ithe Bible. They're even spoken by Jesus. Yet many don't teach the full counsel of God.

The Apostle Paul didn't hesitate to teach it.

"I have not hesitated to proclaim to you the whole will of God." - Acts 20:27

I think the main problem rests with our inability to understand these prophecies. Or we are content with not knowing them. And I'm talking about pastors here.

For those churches with enough understanding to teach Bible prophecy, when they do, the pews are full. So, why not teach it?

Again, Paul writes about this to the church in Corinth. And he gives the reason that many churches, still to this day, do not teach about the end times.

"Brothers and sisters, I could not address you as people who live by the Spirit but as people who are still worldly - mere infants in Christ. I gave you milk, not solid food, for you were not yet ready for it. Indeed, you are still not ready. You are still worldly." - 1 Corinthians 3:1-3

Today, many churches are still worldly and that's a problem not only for the pastors but also for the people attending those churches.

I encourage you to examine the teachings offered at your church. If you are not being taught the WHOLE Bible, complain to the church leadership. And if they cannot give you a satisfactory reason for their incomplete teaching, leave. Time is short. This is not the time to be pushing this off until next year.

Yoda said that the future was "difficult to see." Dude, it's all written down for you, right in front of your face! Open your Bible!

Jesus, speaking about the suddenness of the end....

“Just as it was in the days of Noah, so also will it be in the days of the Son of Man. People were eating, drinking, marrying and being given in marriage up to the day Noah entered the ark. Then the flood came and destroyed them all." - Luke 17:26-27

Please, don't get caught without a saving faith in Jesus. As they found out in 'the days of Noah,' when it began to rain it was already too late.
