I’m not on the level of Isaiah or Jeremiah or Daniel or any of the Old Testament prophets. But when God calls you to be a prophet, He doesn’t ask if you’d like to do it. He doesn’t tell you to say whatever you want. He doesn’t ask you to interpret His words. He simply tells you what you are to say.
He, in fact, tells you that you are a prophet. No man on earth can declare himself one—only God can make that clear.
The first thing He does is feed you the Scriptures, from cover to cover. You spend a lifetime learning them and conveying the most important message they contain: the salvation offered to a lost and dark world through His Son, the Lord Jesus Christ. That salvation was provided by a single loving act—His substitutionary death on the cross for all sinners who want to come and be forgiven.
His words about tomorrow—His words about the future—will not change. They will stand at the end of time. They will be what happens.
Christ came to me and gave me a full vision with the help of an angel. I saw how the Second Coming happens. And oddly enough, while I saw great trouble on earth, I saw no interplanetary rocket ships traveling through interstellar space.
The entire world was caught off guard by His sudden return. They insisted they were unprepared because they failed to see, believe, and obey the meaning contained in the following passage:
“For as in the days before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day Noah entered the ark, and knew not until the flood came and took them all away; so shall the coming of the Son of Man be.” —Matthew 24:38–39
It’s a simple rule: the Word of God will get old, but it will never pass away. You will get old, but you will surely pass away.
Consider these words before that day comes:
“Heaven and earth shall pass away: but My words shall not pass away.” —Luke 21:33
