Biblical prophecy is encouraging and comforting, it tells us where we are and where we are headed. We know that judgement is coming and it will terrify those who live through it, but we who are made clean by the blood of the Lamb, have nothing to fear. Until then, what we are witnessing right now is just like to what was happening in the days of Noah; the earth filled with violence (Matt 24:37 & Gen 6:13). The violence we are witnessing is merely the tip of the iceberg; during the tribulation it will be greater. In the meantime, let us "bear fruit in keeping with repentance" (Matt 3:8) and "comfort one another" (1 Thessalonians 4:18) with what we are told.

The bible brings reason and hope. The hope of the Word of God is not like the world's hope; biblical hope is eternal and looks forward to the future, while the hope of this world is carnal and fears the future. Even when it seems dark or nothing is happening, we know can trust in God and that He has not forgotten about us. God says in Isaiah 1, "Let us reason together," and that's Him telling us that our sins is washed away and that Jesus paid the price to redeem us, it isn't God's will for us to bear our iniquities. When we know our sins are forgiven, we can come boldly before the throne in prayer, hopeful that we are worthy and will be heard. And our prayers not only benefit ourselves, but society and those around us. All we have to do is humble ourselves before God on a consistent basis so pride cannot dissolve the grace God gives us. “'Come now, and let us reason together,' Says YAHWEH, 'Though your sins are as scarlet, they will be as white as snow; though they are red like crimson, they will be like wool." Isaiah 1:18

In Genesis 12 God places a tremendous blessing upon Abraham and his seed, and prophetically promises to bless all the families in the earth through Abraham. When we read Paul's letter to the Galatians, we are told that the blessing of Abraham is also for those who are of faith, in other words, those who have received Jesus as Lord and Savior. So, centuries prior, God had a plan to bless not just Abraham's biological seed, but Christian gentiles as well. This tells us that God wants His people to prosper and that prosperity is both an Old Testament and New Testament reward!

"Beloved, I pray that in all respects you may prosper and be in good health, just as your soul prospers." 3 John 1:2
