Why Study Bible Prophecy

END-TIMES PROPHECY SERIES

 

There has been a renewed interest in recent years by millions of people all over the world regarding what the Bible has to say about the future because of the events on 9/11 in America, the current events in the Middle East, and now as the world deals with the COVID-19 global pandemic. Why? Because only in the Bible do we find God revealing to us in detail the future of this planet and its inhabitants.

Dr. Gonzalez explains that although Scripture is clear that the exact time of future prophetic events is unknown and that Christians are not to attempt to set dates and times, many scholars and students of prophecy agree that their time of fulfillment is fast approaching. The Bible does say that the general period can be known or discerned, and without a doubt, the signs of the times clearly seem to indicate the nearness of these events.

In this study entitled Why Study Bible Prophecy, Dr. Gonzalez will provide seven reasons as to why Christians and non-Christians alike should study Bible prophecy.

Victory Over Apostasy (Jude 24-25)

JUDE EXPOSITORY SERIES

 

Few doctrines of Scripture are more precious and comforting than the doctrine of eternal security or God’s preservation of the saints.

Jude concludes his epistle with a formal doxology. It includes a prayer for all Christians. He wanted to assure us of God's ability to help us remain faithful despite the apostasy and false teaching that threatens us. As he closes his letter, he assures the believer that his foundation is firm and secure in Christ.

In his exposition of Jude’s doxology, Dr Gonzalez explains that the doctrine of the preservation of the saints is necessary to a proper understanding of the Gospel, for if salvation can be lost, then the life we were given, and have in Christ is not truly eternal or everlasting. If salvation can be lost, then salvation is ultimately dependent on us and not God. If we have no security, we can have no real confidence, comfort, peace, and hope. He reminds us that the Bible clearly teaches that our salvation and eternal security are of the Lord. Just as He alone saves us, He alone ensures our preservation.

Be Merciful to Others (Jude 22-23)

JUDE EXPOSITORY SERIES

 

Solomon wrote in Ecclesiastes 12:13 (NLT), That’s the whole story. Here now is my final conclusion: Fear God and obey his commands, for this is everyone’s duty.

Dr. Gonzalez shows from the text that if Christians are going to successfully restore wayward Christians and help people come to know Christ and be in a saving relationship with Him, then they will have to be merciful and compassionate, minister with a sense of urgency, and proceed cautiously when dealing with false teachers.

Nurture Yourselves (Jude 20-21)

JUDE EXPOSITORY SERIES

 

These are terrible and trying times. Many give up on God because the task is perceived as overwhelming. However, apostasy is no excuse to quit. We must be faithful in service until He comes. As God's people, we have a duty to run and finish the race. Solomon wrote in Ecclesiastes 12:13, The end of the matter; all has been heard. Fear God and keep his commandments, for this is the whole duty of man. Here Jude lays out the program for restoring wayward Christians and sharing Christ with people in these last days of apostasy.

Remember Their Words (Jude 16-19)

JUDE EXPOSITORY SERIES

 

After denouncing the false teachers by calling them ungodly four times in verse 15, Jude next highlights four areas of ungodliness. False teachers grumble and complain, they indulge their own lusts, are boastful and swollen with pride, and use flattery to get what they want.

All people are vulnerable to heresies and to temptations toward immoral living. Jude encourages Christians to remain firm in their faith and trust in God's promises for their future. This encouraging word is needed because we are living during a time of increasing disloyalty to the faith. Today, we are just as vulnerable to doctrinal error as those to whom Jude wrote. We too are tempted to give in to sin. Although there are many false teachers and much false teaching around us, we don’t need to be afraid or give up in discouragement—God will keep us from stumbling, and soon He will bring us into his presence and give us everlasting joy.
