We can learn a great deal about the future from Bible

Dear Dr. Graham: Predicting the future is a fascinating topic to me and I have read a number of books on fortune-telling. But I still wonder, is it really possible to know what the future holds? F.S.

Dear F.S.: How often do we hear someone ask, “Who knows what a day may hold?” It is wise to be cautious about those who claim to have supernatural abilities to predict the future precisely. At best, such schemes are mere guesswork; at worst, they may be involved in dangerous occult practices.

Only God knows the future, but we can certainly learn a great deal about it from the Bible. Over and over through the ages of time God sent his prophets to the people to warn them of things to come. Rather than be fascinated in man’s predictions that fall short, be fascinated about what God has done — and is doing — in the world. Explore the great truths of Scripture, for when we delve into the book of wisdom and ask the lord to open its truth, he will.

The greatest discovery we can ever make in life is not some prediction, but the reality that God loves us and desires that every soul come to salvation in Jesus Christ.

For those who repent of sin and trust him as savior, they learn to trust the future to Christ — it is in his hand. We may not know what is in store for us on earth, but we can find peace in knowing that eternity for those who believe Christ will be glorious.
