Last Days’ Bible prophecies are a great attention-getter. Many people you share with may consider the Bible irrelevant today. They may ask, “It’s an old book – how does it relate to my life and problems?” To reply, you can use anyone of the dozens of last days’ prophecies which are coming into focus before our very eyes.
One time I was speaking to a young man who was skeptical. I then shared some last day’s prophecies. One in particular made his jaw drop. I told him that the Bible taught that “the kings from the east” (which would be Asia) would be capable of deploying a 200-million-man army during earth’s final days. Bear in mind, I explained, when John penned this prophecy 2000 years ago, there were only an estimated 170 to 400 million people on the entire planet. Yet today, according to the World Fact Book, China alone has 281 million men fit for military service!
Wow! Now that brought the Bible up to date in his mind. He was now open and interested in discussing the Bible and how God’s Word applied to his life. What a powerful evidence prophecy is. And remember God’s ultimate purpose in giving us Bible prophecy is to testify of Jesus.
