God doesn't mind sharing His secrets with his kids (He's no respecter of persons playing favorites among them), yeah with all his children. Those with ears to hear.
"His soul will dwell in prosperity, and his descendants will inherit the land. The LORD confides in those who fear Him, and reveals His covenant to them." Psalm 25:14
Does God or the Bible tell us all there is to know. Nope, but He is enough and the Bible tells us all we need to know.
"My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me." ~ Jesus
"But because you are not My sheep, you refuse to believe. My sheep listen to My voice; I know them, and they follow Me. I give them eternal life, and they will never perish. No one can snatch them out of My hand.." John 10:26-28
"And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice.." John 10:4,8,16
"Verily, verily, I say unto you, The hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God: and they that hear shall live." John 5:25
"The secret of the wise counsel of the LORD is for those who fear Him.." amp.
When the Bible uses the word "mystery or mysteries" it's because God likes to make Mysteries known to his people, not hidden from them as dead religions people like to say. What is the Revelation (the Book)? It's the unveiling.
In a frantic world gone crazy when people are tryin' to heap some more busy onto your uberbusy.. step away. Take a moment and hit the pause button. Check out the last days warning signs and listen up.
Hermeneutical prophecy law: Future events cast their shadow before them. In other words things that are going to happen cast a shadow backwards towards us so we can be kind of tipped off in advance.
I love how the Scriptures give us good warnings about what's ahead.
BTW Bible prophecy has thus far been fulfilled with 100% accuracy and will be regarding the Rapture, the Second Coming, the new heavens and earth as well. Prophecy never ever goes against what the Bible says. The Holy Spirit never does either. If it's new it ain't true, and if it's true it ain't new. We have new illumination of the Scriptures, not new revelation. We already have the Revelation. God's revelation to us is good enough. And I never mind the old revelation.
We don’t want to set a date, hour, or minute of the eminent rapture of course, but there are some things to notice. We can see the beginning of future reality by the shadow cast for us. (You know how the rapture is a sign-less event.. a thief in the night snatching away, but the second coming is not).
Consider a super-sign -- Israel became a nation again back in 1948.
When ya see signs of Christmas in July or August each year you can know that Thanksgiving is right around the corner.. just a little bit before our Christmas event. When we see signs of the Second Advent Coming, we know the eminent Rapture is just ahead. Wanna live ready and help others be too.
Choose to live vigilantly. Watch and pray. Do ya kinda need four prods so to speak urging us all not to hit the “snooze” button? They’re in this passage..
"Do this, knowing that this is a critical time. It is already the hour for you to awaken from your sleep [of spiritual complacency; for our salvation is nearer to us now than when we first believed in Christ. The night [this present evil age is almost gone and the day [of Christ’s return] is almost here. So let us fling away the works of darkness and put on the [full] armor of light. Let us conduct ourselves properly and honorably as in the [light of] day, not in carousing and drunkenness, not in sexual promiscuity and irresponsibility, not in quarreling and jealousy. But clothe yourselves with the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for nor even think about gratifying] the flesh in regard to its improper desires." Romans 13:11-14 amp
So many are still asleep in the light when they need to shine bright.
