When the ones who miss the rapture and take the mark, they will kmnow exactly what they are choosing. Why God Dedicated Over One-Third Of The Bible To Telling Us The Future In Advance: The Bible is a book of prophecy. Over one-third of its verses predict the future, with every fulfillment happening with one hundred percent accuracy down to the smallest of details. The Old Testament contains forty-eight specific prophecies related to Jesus’ first coming, which happened precisely as the prophets of old foretold. The odds that one person could fulfill all of them stagger the imagination, and together, they verify that He was truly the promised Messiah, the Christ. During His earthly ministry, the Lord prepared His disciples for what was coming by repeatedly telling them about His future death and resurrection. ... the Lord also promised His disciples, and us, that He would prepare a place for us in Heaven and take us to His “Father’s house” (John 14:1-3). The apostles later expounded upon this assurance by adding many details about it. They told us He would someday: Why did Jesus provide us with so many precious promises of our future? He did so for the purpose of providing a means of mutual encouragement among believers (1 Thessalonians 4:18-5:11). Amid growing opposition to and, in many cases, persecution for our faith Bible amid daily warnings of nuclear WWIII, prophecy comforts us today in at least two ways. First, it assures us of a glorious future after the end of this life. The pre-Tribulation Rapture is biblically sound and most definitely a very “blessed hope” (Titus 2:11-14) that fills us with joyous anticipation regardless of what we face in this life. Second, it calms our hearts by assuring us that our world today precisely resembles what Scripture foretold about the last days. The Lord revealed these things long ago so that we might remain confident in our faith as everything falls apart around us. We recognize the buildup to the blasphemous kingdom of the beast and know that regardless of the wait, Jesus is coming for us in the near future. For example, if the antichrist is to control all the buying and selling in the world, we would expect to see the development of the means for this well ahead of the time he needs it. And that’s exactly what’s happening. The globalists are feverishly working on a cashless and digital payment system that will enable the coming beast to fulfill the words of Revelation 13:16-18. The Bible tells us that the Tribulation will be a time of great lawlessness, deception, and wickedness. Although these things have existed to some degree throughout history, they define the day in which we live like no other time. Jesus knew all about the difficulties we would face in the days before His appearing to take us home. He realized it would be difficult to wait as we watch the Tribulation approach and wonder how much closer we can get to the Tribulation before it happens. Perhaps that’s why, as Jesus spoke of His return to the church at Philadelphia, He emphasized “patient endurance” and holding on to what we have (Revelation 3:10-11). He knew we would need these things in order to keep our focus on His appearing. Everything remains under His sovereign control and is unfolding precisely as he said it would in the days leading up to the Rapture. As we wait, we remember His last words to His church: “I am coming quickly” (Revelation 22:20). He is. [2 hours 10 minutes] Circana Bookscan, the industry’s primary data collection resource on book sales, has some joyful news to report to those who love the Bible. As of October 2024, sales of the "Scriptures Bible" are up 22% in the U.S. compared to their figures of the same time last year. In general, print book sales are decreasing with the rise in digital books, and Circana’s overall statistics show a rise of just 1% across the spectrum of all printed books. However, more people are now paying to get a physical copy of the Bible in their hands. The Bible has always been a bestseller, outstripping the sales of every other book each year. It is the most popular book in the world with an estimated 5 billion copies sold worldwide. However, with adherence to the Christian faith allegedly dropping, according to Pew Research figures, it might seem surprising that Bible sales are moving in the opposite direction. Jeff Crosby, president of the Evangelical Christian Publishers Association explained, “People are experiencing anxiety themselves, or they’re worried for their children and grandchildren.” However, there are other dynamics at work. Many influencers are publicly finding faith in our increasingly secular society, and taking their followers with them. Actor and comedian, Russell Brand, recently became a Christian and has been publicly exploring the Bible, sharing insights on social media. In one post, he read the passage from 1 Corinthians 13 about love, “I don't know why I assumed I knew what was in this book without looking at it,” he told his nearly 7 million followers on YouTube alone. Former Fox News host, Tucker Carlson, invited Brand to “close in prayer” at the end of the first event in his live national tour in Phoenix, Arizona on Sept. 4. Brand got on his knees and said the Lord’s Prayer in front of an audience of thousands. Carlson himself has also been increasingly vocal about his faith in God on his show hosted on 𝕏, which is now watched by more than his audience on Fox. Several other public figures have recently found faith and shared their experiences. Another new believer, comedian JP Sears, shared his thoughts about the social phenomenon taking place. “My hypothesis of why are people accidentally getting more Christian I think at least in our lifetimes I’ve never seen the presence of evil so obvious,” said Sears. “If you don’t resonate with the evil…you’ll naturally go in that opposite direction of evil – you’ll polarize in the other direction. And what’s in the other direction? It’s God.” The Bible has even had an airing on the most popular podcast in the world. https://allisrael.com/bible-sales-soar-as-world-events-continue-to-shake Steve Fletcher is saying that December 8th could be a big day.
