End Time Prophecies 00:02:59
It is vital.
It is vital that we know Jesus.
And Joel, I know that after everything we talk about, the first and foremost important message is Jesus at the end of the day.
And I thank you for being bold.
In a culture that would want to cancel your voice, you are still going out there and you're saying Jesus is the king and he is returning soon.
Amen.
Thank you.
For next few minutes, let's talk about the end time prophecies of Islam that are leading many Islams to fulfill the biblical prophecies.
So in the same way that we as Christians gather together and talk about, well, what events in the world are fulfilling biblical prophecy, Muslims have their own beliefs, their own prophecies.
And when you really get to know Muslims and even watch Islam YouTube these days, it's flooded with Muslim prophecies.
And they point to different events in the world.
They say, see, Muhammad's prophecies are being fulfilled really in a similar way that we do.
And interestingly, that is actually leading to a bit of a revival in the Islamic world where people are becoming Muslims because of the, I'll say, the evangelistic power of their prophecies.
And so it's a really fascinating thing.
ISIS, I use that as an example.
That's almost 10 years old now, eight years old.
They recruited 30,000.
Like, think about it.
As believers, we're praying for our children, our grandchildren.
They recruited 30,000 kids from all over the world, burn their passports, leave their families, leave their nations, sneak through Turkey to get to Syria.
That's a big risk because they believe that ISIS was the fulfillment of Islamic prophecy.
That's the power of prophecy.
But here's the thing.
That's a counterfeit.
That's right.
That's right.
It's not the real thing.
And if the counterfeit is that effective, I believe that we as believers, we need to learn how to handle biblical prophecy rightly for the purpose of what I'll call apocalyptic evangelism.
We need to be able to communicate to the younger generation, this is what the Word of God predicted.
This is what's happening in the earth.
The Word of God is true.
But so many Christians are afraid of prophecy.
They think it's weird.
They think it's fringe.
It's goofy.
And so they just put it on the shelf.
But the reality is this is exactly what Jesus and the apostles did.
They said, as it is written, they pointed to the words of the prophets to validate their message.
And I think as the church, we need to learn how to reclaim that weapon, that tool, if you will, because it's powerful.
