Rod Reynolds explores why it is that so many people do not understand the Bible. Also vital keys in unlocking God’s Word so you can understand it better. The Bible is the most widely circulated book in the world. Well over 2 billion copies of the Bible have been printed and distributed worldwide. Almost every household in much of the western world has at least one Bible, and yet it is a book that is little understood.
Every one of the festivals of God have significance not only for us as individuals in our spiritual journey towards God’s kingdom, but also prophetic significance in terms of God’s plan of salvation for mankind, and how that plan is to be accomplished in a step-by-step fashion.
The day of Atonement has to do not only with the removal of sin, but also the removal of the chief instigator of sin, the enemy of God and of mankind, Satan the devil. Rod Reynolds relates how the Bible reveals Satan as God’s enemy, and our enemy, and how he will ultimately be defeated and removed, once and for all.
Many people assume that this is God’s world, that God is fully in control, and that all that happens in the world is in accordance with God’s will. But the reality of the situation is not quite that straightforward or simple.
If this is God’s world why is there so much violence, so much poverty, so much sickness, so much evil of every kind and description? If this is God’s world why aren’t the problems that have plagued it for thousands of years solved?
Whose world is it that we’re living in? Is it really God’s world?
Listen as Rod Reynolds discusses the answers to these questions from the pages of the Bible.
The festivals God commanded in the Bible and his Sabbaths have prophetic implications which form an outline of God’s plan for mankind. The new moon of the seventh month, is also a festival and a Sabbath, called the Feast of Trumpets. This feast has particular prophetic significance associated with the blowing of trumpets.
The Feast of Trumpets points to a time in the future when, as related in Scripture, a trumpet, or trumpets, will be blown, to signal a series of prophesied events ushering in a new age. The events portrayed in what the Feast of Trumpets signifies are to be unprecedented in world history, and will forever change the kind of world human beings will inhabit, a world inestimably better in every way.
We are instructed in Scripture to “Examine yourselves as to whether you are in the faith” (II Corinthians 13:5). The Bible has a great deal to say about being faithful, and faithfulness. We are told that those who will be with Christ in his kingdom are “called, chosen, and faithful” (Revelation 17:14).
In the message “Are You Faithful?” are reviewed a number of Scriptures relating to both the faithfulness of God and the faithfulness he requires of his people. Every Christian is being tested with regard to his faithfulness to God and his way of life, and it’s a matter we need to give attention to and take seriously.
