Episode 012—Are You Fulfilling Bible Prophecy?

A dust-covered Bible

Are you helping to fulfill Bible prophecy by not reading the Scriptures regularly?

Prophecies You Don’t Want to Fulfill!

  • Some Christians will fall away from the faith, drawn away by deceitful spirits, teaching of demons, and conscience-less liars — 1 Timothy 4:1-3
  • The time will come [has come!] when some Christians won’t endure sound teaching, will want their “ears tickled,” and will turn their ears away from the truth — 2 Timothy 3:13–4:8.

  2. When you find an Old Testament quote in the New Testament, go back and read the quote in context in the Old Testament. Often the speaker or the writer is assuming that his original audience is familiar with the passage, and that they are making more “truth connections” as a result.  But for those of you who do this, how do you account for the fact that sometimes the New Testament quote seems very different from the Old Testament passage?
