THE FUTURE DETERMINED BY THE PAST.
Jesus says about His second advent:
"But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be." (Matthew 24: 37).
As Noah was sent to warn the people of the approaching flood in his day, is it not reasonable to expect that a prophet will be sent in the latter days to warn the people of the destruction of the wicked, when the Savior comes to take vengeance upon them?
The Bible fully establishes the fact that all important things done by the Lord in past ages have been preceded by the appearance of inspired prophets. Surely the greatest event of the world's history—Christ's glorious reign on earth—will be preceded by the appearance of divinely inspired messengers!
