The Relevance Of Bible Prophecy And The Old Testament In Christianity Today.
There are many Christians today who do not see any relevance, or very little relevance in the Old Testament much less Bible prophecy. The Old Testament and Bible Prophecy is the very basis or foundation of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. It is what the Gospel is based on and where it gets its authority.
Jesus Christ when he was preaching, used the Old Testament and Bible prophecy to back up and support what he was teaching. When the apostles went out to spread the Gospel as commanded by Jesus Christ, they followed His lead.
The Old Testament and Bible Prophecy are the parts of the foundation of the Church that Jesus Crist built. Jesus said, "Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven. Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfill. For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled." (Matthew 5:16-18). People complain that the Bible is hard to understand. On the contrary, it is very plain to those who seek the truth.
The Old Testament and Bible prophecy deals with the whole counsel of God’s Word and the hope of the Christian. The hope of every Christian should be the promise of eternal life in the Kingdom of God. The Old Testament and Bible prophecy deals with the end of the world and of humankind. It is the Christians belief concerning the ultimate or final things, such as death, the destiny of humanity, the Second Coming, or the Last Judgment.
There are many people today concerned with current events and Bible prophecy reveals that the only hope for mankind is to be found in Jesus Christ. The Old Testament and Bible prophecy is the doctrine of last things that will happen culminating in the return of Jesus Christ and the establishment of the Kingdom of God an earth..
The Old Testament is important because it supports the New Testament. Prophecy is what proves God's word and holds everything written as the Word of God to the truth. There are over 300 prophecies regarding Jesus Christ's first coming and one quarter of the New Testament contains prophecy.
Prophecy points to the sovereignty of God in real history. It demonstrates what a believer is supposed to be doing in this age, the age you are living in. Prophecy should be what causes people to want to live Godly lives according to His commandments.
One of the most important things it has done since Jesus Christ left the Church behind to testify for Him is to give comfort in the midst of all sorrow and wickedness in today's world and facilitates perseverance with a hope of the future.
The Old Testament and Bible prophecy are the impelling forces to warn people of their sins and drive them to repentance. The future is not hidden from those who believe in Jesus Christ. God's people, the Church of Jesus Christ, have not been appointed for the wrath that is to come to this earth. Christians, should live each day with knowing that our future in Christ is certain as is testified in the Old Testament and Bible prophecy.
