32. Questions and Answers from Prophecies of Hope

Our topic for tonight is mysteries of Bible prophecy.

Mystery movies, mystery books, mystery stories, mysterious places.

And There are a number of mysterious places in the world.

There's those mystery cities high up in the mountains of the Andes.

And then there is other mysteries such as the mystery of Stonehenge in England.

There's those mysterious heads in Easter Island.

And then there are other mysteries, such as the mystery of King Tut.

We're going to study that mystery in this series, aren't we, son?

And there's a mystery right here in the Philippines, the mystery of Yamashita's gold.

The Bible is the world's most popular book, best-selling book, but probably the most misunderstood book in the world as well, and it's got many mysteries.

Most people have a Bible, and few people read the Bible, and even fewer people actually understand the Bible.

Have you ever read the Bible and you couldn't understand what you were reading, maybe in a prophetic part of the Bible?

And when you study prophecy, especially those books like Daniel and Revelation with all those mysterious symbols.

But in this Prophecies of Hope program, we're gonna unlock many of those mysteries in Bible prophecy.

In fact, We're gonna be studying from the books of Daniel and Revelation.

Revelation's got a lot of mysterious symbols in it.

There is in fact a mysterious woman sitting on a beast with 7 heads and 10 horns.

And then there's a woman in Revelation chapter 12 standing on the moon clothed with the sun And there's a dragon that wants to devour her child as soon as it's born We'll study that mystery also and then there is the mystery of 3 Mysterious angels that fly in the midst of heaven with a special message for the world at end time We'll be studying that message Have you heard about the mystery of 666?

That's in the book of Revelation the beast that has the mark You can read that in Revelation 13, verses 1 and 18.

So to sort of whet your appetite tonight, let's read that.

John says, And I stood upon the sand of the sea and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having 7 heads and 10 horns, and upon his horns 10 crowns, and upon his heads the name of Blasphemy." That sounds kind of mysterious, but we're going to look at that mystery later.

Let him that has understanding count the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man, and his number is 666.

That is 666, and we're going to look at that in 1 of our future topics so you can understand that revelation is a mysterious book And because it's a mysterious book some people are afraid of the book.

That's right Some people say you cannot understand revelation that it's a closed book.

Well, let's see what the book itself says.

The Bible says, The revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him, to show unto his servants things which must shortly come to pass.

And he sent and signified it by his angel unto his servant John.

Well, revelation, that means to open, to reveal, like you would open up a door.

If I were to tell you I'm gonna reveal to you how old I am, you would think maybe I would tell you what my birthday is, how many years I've lived.

Well, Father, will you make that revelation tonight?

No, I don't think I'm going to reveal that.

But this is a revelation, and it's a revelation of who?

In Revelation, you find Jesus Christ revealed, but on the other hand you have the Antichrist exposed.

Do you think, my friends, that the devil wants Jesus revealed and Antichrist exposed?

This book is a revelation of Jesus Christ.

And since it's a revelation of Jesus Christ, we don't have to be afraid of studying this book.

You don't have to be afraid of the last book of the Bible, the apocalyptic book of Revelation.

There's actually a blessing pronounced upon those who study this book.

Revelation 1, verse 3, mark that in your notes.

Blessed is He that reads, and they that hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written therein, for the time is at hand." There's a blessing to those who read, a blessing to those who hear, But there's a special blessing to those who keep.

But is there another book in the Bible, son, that's also full of symbols?

Daniel and Revelation are 2 great prophetic books of the Bible filled with mysterious symbols Take for example our 4 beasts that was on the flyer These are mysterious beasts the lion with eagles wings the leopard with 4 heads and 4 wings.

We'll study these beasts in a future topic.

But you find them described here in the book of Daniel.

And then you find this mysterious metallic man made of different metals and this rock that comes and smashes the image down.

But before we go there, Father, we want to ask this question.

How shall we interpret or understand the symbols of prophecy.

Son, there are 2 principles to correctly understand prophecy, and we're going to invite our guests here to mark down these 2 principles.

Number 1, we must allow the Bible to be its own interpreter, and a text for that is 2 Peter 1, verse 20, which says no prophecy of the Scripture is to be of a private interpretation.

In other words, it's not up to me or to you or some church to interpret prophecy.

We have to let the Bible interpret its own prophecies.

And then the second principle, we must compare Scripture with Scripture to understand Scripture.

And a text for that is Isaiah 28, verses 9 and 10, which says, line upon line, precept upon precept, here a little, there a little.

It's sort of like putting a puzzle together.

When you get all the pieces connected, Then you have a clear picture of what the puzzle's showing.

When you get all the pieces put together, you have a clear picture of the truth from God's word.

Those are the 2 principles we're gonna use as we study Bible prophecy and the Prophecies of Hope program.

So, with that background, let's launch into Prophecies of Hope.

We're gonna start tonight in the book of Daniel.

We're gonna look at a prophecy that lays the foundation for many of the other prophecies in the Bible.

This prophecy we find in Daniel chapter 2, an ancient king's dream.

It describes over 14 different empires, takes us back over a span of 2, 500 years and provides us with 1 of the greatest evidences that God knows the future.
