INESCAPABLE CLIMATE CHANGE IS COMING--AS DESCRIBED IN THE BIBLE
As we open back to Revelation 6, and begin to work our way verse-by-verse through this amazing portion of God's Word, we all need to get our minds around the big picture of what we are doing. First, let me state the obvious, but vital foundational truth:
God Wrote the Entire Bible
One way to look at the Bible is to see it as a complete course of study in order to graduate with proficiency in a chosen field.
God is the instructor, His textbook is the Bible, the Degree we have enrolled in is: Knowing God. There are 66 courses of study, one for each book of the Bible.
Every book God included is vital for some reason. Some we are more drawn to than others. Some are easier, some are well known, others are hard, mysterious, and much like our hardest classes we faced in school, we grit our teeth and plow through even when it is very hard, but:
All Scripture is Vital
If we were to continue to think of the Bible like going to grad school, we could see it as containing all the courses needed to graduate. Graduation from God’s grad school on Knowing Him would mean what 2 Timothy 3:16-17 (NKJV) says. We need to start with a verse that we all know so well. But look together at the emphasis God gives to us. Please stand with me and from the screen follow along with the words from 2 Timothy 3:16-17:
• All Scripture is given by inspiration of God,
• [All Scripture given] is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness,
• [All Scripture was given] that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work.
Today we are opening to the final and most important of all the courses needed for graduation, it is the last book of the sixty-six of God's Word.
If the Bible is like a good graduate school, all of the courses would follow a curriculum with a scope and sequence that reflected careful planning and determinations of progression. That is exactly what we find. The last Book of the Bible, containing the last course God gave for us to know Him, may be perhaps the most important of all. Why would such a difficult book of the Bible be most important? Because God sent it last, as the closing wrap up to everything He ever said, that’s why.
We Need to See Each Piece as a Part of the Whole
