I believe prophecies are the same. For us, the present and the past seem to be a mess of events that are more or less connected, and the future is always out of sight. But not for God.
He can look to an unpromising city called Bethlehem, some 700 years in advance, and say that the King of Kings would come from there. Only the Lord of History can do that.
In the following week, we will take a look at some of the prophecies God gave regarding the second coming of Jesus. We will live in God's house, the crops will be abundant, we will receive a new heart, and a new city will come from the sky. Just because Mary had a little baby.
Enjoy the ride and try to imagine how life will be like when Jesus comes back.
Maranata!
