In this video, we join Pastor Ted Wilson in taking a look at a very important topic—the #Word of #God. The Psalmist says in Psalm 119:105, “Thy word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path.” And truly, it is through God’s Word—the #Bible—that we are given direction, encouragement, and instruction for today. Unfortunately, one of the biggest battles we will ever face will be over the authority of the Word of God. The devil has always hated God’s Word and does everything to neutralize its effect because he knows how important it is for us to be connected to God, by His Holy Spirit, through His Word—the Bible. The world around us is literally falling apart. People are distraught about security and personal safety, wondering what horrible event will take place next. The unknown has become the enemy. People don’t think the world around them is going in the right direction, and they are right! We are truly living in the end of time according to #prophecy. What is needed is not a political, military or social solution, but a return to a Sure Foundation—God’s Sure Word. The “sure” Word of God has always been a light shining in a dark place and is even more so today! The Word of God, the Bible, is authoritative. It is our handbook for living—not just something to put on a living room table or to be studied just for academic purposes. It is far more than a collection of recommendations or interesting commentary; it is God’s Sure Word—-and has heavenly authority. People have always needed a sure foundation. The “sure word of prophecy” is something we can count on. It is needed today more than ever and will be the only source of comfort and hope for the future since it points to the Gospel message – #Christ, His righteousness, His salvation, His ministry in the most holy place of the heavenly sanctuary and His final redemption of His people at His second coming. The Bible provides the only hope for the future. It is our enormous privilege to share it through the power of the Holy Spirit. No matter where you live or how busy you may be, to take time to pray and to study God’s Word. The Bible is filled with wisdom, guidance, and assurance for today. 00:00 Greetings

This question has perplexed thinkers throughout history. In fact, right before His death, Jesus’ disciples questioned Him about this very thing. In Matthew 24:3, they asked, “When shall these things be? And what shall be the sign of Thy coming, and of the end of the world?” The disciples were gathered on the Mount of Olives, overlooking the temple of Jerusalem. In their minds, the destruction of Jerusalem and the end of the world would happen simultaneously. Jesus had talked about the destruction of Jerusalem, and they wanted to know more. As Jesus answered their questions, He shared events that would transpire before His return. Don't be scared by the signs of His soon coming. Jesus offers hope. He offers salvation. He offers you a relationship with Him that will protect you from deception. His heart longs for you to make the decision to choose Him. He came to this earth and became the Son of Man to show us the way to live so that we could join Him for eternity. As you discover Bible prophecy and discern the signs of Christ’s soon return, would you like to acknowledge, “Yes, Jesus, I believe You are coming soon”? Do you want to be ready for the great day of His coming? Is there anything in your life that would keep you from being ready? It’s time to surrender that thing to Jesus. It’s time to accept His invitation of hope and peace. Have questions? Need prayer? Visit us at http://bible.awr.org Source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6eEtGyfJeJo
