Your Daily Portion – How to Study Bible Prophecy | Lesson 10 of 13Session Overview- Date: May 31, 2025 (Sabbath)- Host: L. David Harris- Program: Your Daily Portion- Theme: The Ends Have Come Upon Whom the Ends Have Come- Focus: Interpreting Bible prophecy with a lens on the last days, recognizing both warnings and promises in Scripture.---Key Biblical Reference: 1 Corinthians 10:11–13> "Now all these things happened unto them for examples: and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come."> "There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it."---Section 1: Recognizing Warnings and Missing PromisesKey Points:- Many believers see the warnings in Scripture but miss the promises.- God’s people often become self-reliant and forget that every good gift comes from Him.- Historical events (e.g., Exodus) are not just ancient history—they are prophetic models for today.Important Examples:- Exodus Generation: Except for Joshua and Caleb, the first generation did not enter the Promised Land due to unbelief.- Manna, Water from the Rock, Unworn Shoes: God provided miraculous daily needs.- Babylonian Captivity: God’s people needed to be removed from Babylon, but also needed Babylon removed from them.Memory Aid:> "Warnings without promises lead to fear. Promises without warnings lead to pride. Together, they lead to faith."---Section 2: God’s Faithfulness in the Last DaysKey Points:- We live in the last days, and God’s Word is especially relevant now.- God gives examples from history to teach us how to live today.- The stories are not just to warn us, but to show us who God is—faithful, powerful, and merciful.Faithful God Framework:- Faithful Deliverer: God delivers us from every sin and temptation.- Faithful Provider: He supplies every need.- Faithful Guide: He gives a way of escape in every trial.Quote to Remember:> "God can perfectly steer the events that will happen in the last days, events that He revealed to the prophets, but He won’t force you to love or serve Him."---Section 3: Interpreting Bible Prophecy with PurposeKey Points:- Bible prophecy is not just about future events—it's about character transformation.- Ask yourself: What does this teach me about God? About my time? About His faithfulness?- Prophecy should lead us to Jesus, the faithful Rock.Actionable Questions:- What does this story teach me about God’s justice?- What does it teach me about God’s mercy?- How does this story point to deliverance in the last days?Analogy:> "Bible prophecy is like a mirror—showing not only what’s ahead, but also what’s inside us."---Section 4: Free Will and Prophetic FulfillmentKey Points:- God respects free will, but still fulfills prophecy.- We can choose to follow God or not—but the best choice is clear.- The Bible gives us both warnings and invitations.Quote to Remember:> "Whatever way you're gonna go, if God be God, serve Him."---Section 5: Summary and EncouragementKey Takeaways:- Warnings in Scripture are real, but so are the promises.- God is faithful—He will provide strength and a way out in every trial.- Bible prophecy should be read through a last-days lens.- We are called to serve God fully, trusting in His promises.Closing Scripture:> "Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God." – Matthew 4:4---Study Tips & Memory AidsMnemonics:- W.A.R.N. – Warnings, Always, Reveal, Needs (to also look for the promises)- P.R.O.M.I.S.E. – Promises Reveal Our Motivation, Inspire Strength, and EncourageFrameworks:- The 3 Lenses Approach: 1. Historical Lens – What happened? 2. Prophetic Lens – What does this mean for today? 3. Personal Lens – What does this teach me about God and myself?- Promise Sandwich: - Bottom Layer – The Warning - Middle Layer – The Trial or Temptation - Top Layer – The Promise of DeliveranceReflection Questions:- What warning am I seeing in this passage?- What promise is connected to it?- How does this help me trust God more today?Analogy:> "The Bible is like a GPS—giving both warnings about the road ahead and the route to safety."---Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/your-daily-portion-with-l-david-harris--2912188/support.
