REVELATION OF HOW HIDDEN PROPHECIES ARE PUT TOGETHER IN THE BIBLE. II PETER 2, 11, 20 and 21 By Reverend Patricia Ann Sunday While reading in the books of I and II Peter the Lord opened my eyes to an understanding I want to share for His Glory. Verse 2 of II Peter: reads “Grace and peace be multiplied to you through the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.” This is saying there is a pronounced blessing to those who understand who our Lord Jesus Christ is. There are three key words…grace and peace and knowledge. It says that to those who know the Lord Jesus Christ that you will receive Him by grace and be at peace with the understanding you receive when knowledge of Him is multiplied to you…then you will have peace with the knowledge you acquire. This is like the disclaimer of a book letting you know what is coming after to prepare you to receive that knowledge that is about to be given. Another Key is in Verse 11: which reads “They searched to find out at what time IT would be revealed.” So one has to search to find out what time IT meaning the prophecy is to take place. Verse 20: reads “knowing this first…that not every prophetic writing is made clear in its own book.” At first reading this would lead one to believe that to read a book of the Bible that nothing is going to be made clear. However, what these verses say is that it is going to tell you one of the first keys to knowledge and understanding of prophetic writings. And the key is that you have to take what is said here and put it together with keys from other books to get the real full meaning of any given Prophecy of the Bible. Verse 21: is the Key verse stating the end result of reading, studying and searching out all books to put the keys together for the understanding of all Prophecies. It says “For the prophecy did not come by the will of man, but holy men of God spoke when they were inspired by the Holy Spirit.” Chapter 2 from verse 4 on says: God did not even spare the angels who sinned or the old world of Noah. He did not spare Sodom and Gomorrah and it is basically telling all who read that you will not be spared in your sin either. He will only save the righteous people as He did Lot and Noah. False Prophets abound to take you away from your chance at salvation. Wake up and press forward to your salvation working it out daily with the Lord Jesus Christ our Messiah Yeshua. SHALOM
