Counsel #3 — Prophecy Fulfilled
Picture: Counsel #3 — Prophecy FulfilledCFL 13.1
Nebuchadnezzar’s dream of Daniel 2 around 602 BC shows the rise and fall of the kingdoms of Babylon, Medo-Persia, Greece, and pagan Rome, followed by the failure of European leaders and emperors to unite Europe. That’s over 2600 years of history compressed into one dream!CFL 13.2
Daniel’s interpretation of the dream of Daniel 2 has been fulfilled in astounding detail. Only the stone cut out without hands, representing the second coming of Jesus Christ, has yet to be fulfilled. This event will bring earth history as we know it to a climactic end and herald the beginning of eternity with Christ in heaven for all who have been loyal to Him. CFL 13.3
“And in the days of those kings the God of heaven will set up a kingdom which shall never be destroyed; and the kingdom shall not be left to other people; it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand forever.” Daniel 2:44 NKJV (see also all of Daniel 2) CFL 13.4
“The King of kings descends upon the cloud, wrapped in flaming fire. The heavens are rolled together as a scroll, the earth trembles before Him, and every mountain and island is moved out of its place. ‘Our God shall come, and shall not keep silence: a fire shall devour before Him, and it shall be very tempestuous round about Him. He shall call to the heavens from above, and to the earth, that He may judge His people.’ Psalms 50:3, 4.” Ellen G. White in The Great Controversy, p. 641 CFL 13.5
Reflect: On what basis do you believe the biblical narrative of Jesus’ second coming will end the world as we know it?CFL 13.6
