Wrath
To Come
Matthew 3:7-8
I'm still flabbergasted
at that Lutheran Woman's contention that the Biblical Prophets did not foretell the future and that the book of Revelation is
not a prophetic book revealing the undiluted wrath of God being poured out on a God hating rebellious world.
I must admit I'm
also a bit baffled, because her Bio (contained in the book description) claims she is both a Lutheran minister
and a theologian, then a few paragraphs down from her bio, the statement is found which reads, "she makes
no claim to have a background in theology"(?!!).
I guess she's
a theologian when it suits her, and then not a theologian when that suits her--and she has no shame whatsoever about lying
about it when it suits her.
Well, enough of
that.
I
will contend that the Biblical prophets certainly did foretell the future and that the Revelation is a prophetic look at
the wrath (of God) to come.
John (the Baptist)
made no bones about (in Matthew 3:7) that wrath was coming.
He elaborated
on this a few verses further down (in verses :11-12).
John knew what
he was talking about, and Jesus backed him up on it in Luke 21:26 (where he said, "pray that you may be counted worthy
to escape these things).
As far a the Revelation
not being a prophetic book, the very first verse in the book itself refutes that absurd claim--
"...to show
his servants things which
must shortly
come to pass....
