Wrath To Come

Matthew 3:7-8

I'm still flabbergasted at that Lutheran Woman's contention that the Biblical Prophets did not foretell the future and that the book of Revelation is not a prophetic book revealing the undiluted wrath of God being poured out on a God hating rebellious world.

I must admit I'm also a bit baffled, because her Bio (contained in the book description) claims she is both a Lutheran minister and a theologian, then a few paragraphs down from her bio, the statement is found which reads, "she makes no claim to have a background in theology"(?!!).

I guess she's a theologian when it suits her, and then not a theologian when that suits her--and she has no shame whatsoever about lying about it when it suits her.

Well, enough of that.

I will contend that the Biblical prophets certainly did foretell the future and that the Revelation is a prophetic look at the wrath (of God) to come.

John (the Baptist) made no bones about (in Matthew 3:7) that wrath was coming.

He elaborated on this a few verses further down (in verses :11-12).

John knew what he was talking about, and Jesus backed him up on it in Luke 21:26 (where he said, "pray that you may be counted worthy to escape these things).

As far a the Revelation not being a prophetic book, the very first verse in the book itself refutes that absurd claim--

"...to show his servants things which

must shortly come to pass....

Be careful what you eat...

... to the hungry soul, every bitter thing is sweet
