Believers What should we do with the prophecy?

Question

Should we pray about it or just accept it?

Answer 1

Many people can "prophesy" but not all are from God.

Pray for a spirit of discernment so you will know right from wrong.

Answer 2

I assume you are referring to the prophecy of Revelation?

I believe what you are meant to do, in traditional Christian beliefs, is to try to save as many souls before the inevitable end, by means of converting them to Christian beliefs. This is no easy thing, as you don't just have to change their -ideas-, but genuinely bring them to believe in Jesus, his claims, and those of his father.

Praying about it and accepting it are not mutually exclusive; as a believer, it likely goes without saying that you accept it, as it is part of your belief system. However, maybe your praying can save just one more soul... and while that might not seem like it matters a lot, as the wise man once said about chucking stranded starfish back into the ocean, it matters to that one.

Answer 3

The return of Jesus is always presented in scripture as a great motivation to action, not as a reason to cease from action. We should view prophecy like the early apostles who lived and served with the idea that Jesus could return within their very lifetime. They lived life to the fullest, as if every day were their last. We, like they, should view every day as a gift and use it to glorify God.

Answer 4

Prophecy is there to speak as a testimony to God's unchanging character. We are to study it and appreciate it.

Answer 5

Paul says we should pray without ceasing!

Answer 6

you should ignore it, and open your eyes.
and think for yourself what could possibly happen,

but i guess i'm not a believer, so you wouldn't want me to solve your answer
