Furl thisWhat the 46% Who Believe Jesus Will Return in 2011 Don't Know But Should...
An Ipsos poll in 2006 found that 25% of adults believed it was at least "somewhat likely" that "Jesus Christ will return to Earth" in the coming year. Among white evangelical Christian adults, a whopping 46% believed this. Yet four years later Jesus still has not returned. Want to know why Jesus did not come in 2007, or any year since then and still won’t come in 2011? Read Featured Article
It is a dangerous thing to think to understand what the prophecies of scripture mean through scholarly study, as opposed to hearing the voice of God. The religious leaders of Jesus’ day thought they knew exactly what it would look like when the messiah first came, through their scholarly study, but they all missed him. Those who heard from God directly knew Jesus was the real messiah.
Jesus is not coming back in 2012, but the first wave of revival is coming this year, and based on what I have been hearing, I don’t think it will be more than 20 years before He comes back again.
What you’re saying is you need to hear the voice of God to understand what someone who heard the voice of God wrote down or said. Kind of like the HS is a secret decoder ring of the HS? In that situation nobody can show to anyone else what the prophecies mean through scholarly reason because it’s on such a high level it makes sense to nobody else without the same spiritual revelation/decoder ring and if they have that spiritual revelation they just get it rather than reason it out from the text(?).
Thankfully the prophecies are readily understandable by regular people with wisdom that Daniel promises would be available in the end times (Dan 12:4, 9-10). Notice that it says the “wise” would understand, not the spiritually anointed or hearers of God’s voice, etc. Remember, Daniel heard God’s voice yet even he himself did not understand his own prophecies because he lacked wisdom that would only be available in the end times. A few NT prophecies mention, “here is wisdom” as important for understanding what is written as well.
So the correct approach is to read the text carefully like a scholar with wisdom, but not like a religious scholar like the Pharisees were: biased by doctrines and traditions of their sect that they had could not contradict or be ostracized.
(P.S. it’s not dangerous to think anything!)
LOL, excellent Tim! Bam!
