Our Verse: Luke 10:24 Jesus told his students, “Blessed are the eyes that see what you have seen. I tell you, many prophets and kings longed to see what you see, and they didn’t see it. And they longed to hear what you hear, but they didn’t hear it.

You know that feeling when the wind changes direction; it happens at my house. The wind usually comes from the south, but sometimes the wind turns and starts to blow from the north. When this happens, we know cold weather is on the way.

The ancient prophets felt something like this. Things had been the same for centuries, but now they sensed a change was coming, much like a change in the weather. They wrote about a series of events that would touch all mankind. They sensed God was about to change the world/ by sending part of Himself among men. He communicated and they recorded evidence of the coming of Christ long before he arrived.

First century God followers knew these writings. As they walked and talked with Jesus, the ancient prophecies came true before their eyes! After Jesus returned to Heaven, His followers wrote about their adventures with Him, that's the New Testament. Today, we get it all, the ancient prophecies and the New Testament fulfillment of them.

God now lets you to see the entire picture, that's your Bible! Now/ you can know His plan to make all things right in the world. It will all happen. Let's be patient and diligent as His followers. Do your work well, love and serve those in your world and at just the right moment His Kingdom will come.

Here's Peter, one of Jesus' students, writing about those ancient prophecies:
This salvation was something even the prophets wanted to know more about...
They were told that their messages were not for themselves, but for you. And now this Good News has been announced to you...so wonderful that even the angels are eagerly watching.

Mountain Friends- May your experience be filled with joy and confidence as you read God's message!
