“they shall be comforted”

[marie glen]

I have always, or for a long time anyway :laughing7: wanted to understand bible prophecy, what we call eschatology. It's not curiosity, I've just 'always' known how the 'end' fills out the whole puzzle. ..And you know how the Lord always confirms truth, over and over via the Scripture. (If we're "abiding in His Word".) I recently found out the Greek word translated "end" - as in 1Cor.15:24, "then the end will come" more closely means "end-aim". End-aim :faint:

It is amazing to me what a difference it makes if you know what's prophesied - before the Good - if you understand "all ends well". Gloriously well! And reading the prophets.. well, some people can't do it! We don't realize His words have to reach all, even the most depraved oppressor or predator! So the fierceness! But when we mature (imo) the Spirit of God teaches us that the large part of prophecy is the description of consequences.. And isn't consequences a judgment upon actions and even thoughts?

I'm trying to spread that word.. because, you know, if we fear the conclusion - and it is rather "fiery" and all - if we don't understand the "end-aim", can we have the whole picture? (I'm not saying God never sends judgment! And maybe He thinks of it all.. as being in fact sent by Him.. Like gravity. It is. But it is because He made it that way!)
