DAY TWO: Believe With Your Heart

It’s one thing for people to be “interested in Bible prophecy” in an intellectual sort of way, trying to decipher names and places and events like some complex jigsaw puzzle. However, I think we need to approach this very significant subject with not only our minds, but also with our hearts.

By that I mean we don’t want to merely consider these things in an abstract academic way, but rather that we would allow God to move our hearts and change our behavior because of what we read. Someone has said that the Bible wasn’t only written for our information or even our inspiration, but for our transformation.

When we read about the workings of God and the great events just over the horizon, it ought to stir us, creating a sense of awe in our hearts. If we really understand what the Bible is saying about the imminent return of Jesus, it should cause us to want to live a more godly life.

God wants us to know and understand that He keeps His Word. Just as surely as He kept His Word with prophesies that foretold the arrival of the Messiah in Bethlehem, He wants us to know He will keep His Word about the prophesies pertaining to the return of the Messiah.
