Isa 34:16a (ESV)
Seek and read from the book of the Lord …
NOTE: So, I have
taken this verse slightly out of context. The prophecy concerns the region of
Edom and Bozrah which will be completed destroyed. Since this is the safe place
for the Jews during the last half of the tribulation, I can only infer that this
refers to the very end days when Jesus returns to earth to rescue his people
from the Antichrist's attack. In which case, I guess, the people will flee and
the whole area will be destroyed, especially the Antichrist's army. An army
that extends back and will form a wave of blood 200 miles long. But that is not
the point I wish to make here. The point is that this prophecy is based upon
both previous prophecies and God's faithfulness to his word. In other words, if
you don't believe, just seek and read, and see how God has fulfilled his word
time and again. Belief in God is not a blind step of faith, although it is a
step of faith, but it is based upon verifiable evidence. Now, the world twists
the bible to try to disprove this latter point, but an honest search of the
evidence makes it clear that our faith is based upon a faithful God.
