Reflection:

Prophecy is a vital part of God's Word and serves as a guide for understanding His plans for the future. Biblical prophecy refers to the foretelling of events that have yet to come, which are often revealed through visions, dreams, and direct revelations. The Bible provides many prophecies concerning the last days, and these serve as a warning, encouragement, and call to action for the believers. The ultimate purpose of prophecy is to point us to God, helping us understand His sovereignty, His judgment, and His redemption.

God’s prophecies are not meant to fill us with fear but to lead us to greater faith and hope in Christ. Understanding prophecy helps us live in anticipation of Christ’s return and motivates us to live lives that reflect His holiness. This series will explore key prophecies, their meanings, and how they relate to the world today.
