Amen CB!
If you think about it,folks go to the Doctor because he tells them what's going to happen and what must be done about it.Imagine a woman who has zero knowledge about pregnancy all of a sudden experiencing birth pangs.If she had no idea what to expect then those pains would likely be panic inducing.
Likewise Jesus tells us "before it comes so that when it comes ye might believe that I am He" and rather than blind panic it will be rejoice for your redemption draws nigh!
!2 Timothy 1:7,8 "For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind. Be not thou therefore ashamed of the testimony of our Lord..."..."...for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy." Revelation 19:10
Says it all!
Amen! There are many who fall for false prophets and false teachers because they don't know the prophesies.
