Some Prophecies from Scripture on the Coming of the Lord Jesus and His Victory on the Last Day
The Lord became flesh and dwelt among us. He caused a great upheaval: he taught and amazed, and at the same time he shocked many. A new teaching, one that raises man up and makes all human beings equal. He was met with rejection. Everyone was talking about him, and the Jewish authorities wanted to be rid of him. But the Lord will accomplish what he came for: he will complete the offering of himself as a ransom for mankind, he will fulfil the mission of love on our earth, so that we may understand, be transformed, be purified and be saved.
Genesis 3:15
“I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your seed and her seed; he (the Lord Jesus) shall bruise your head, and you shall bruise his heel.”

“By myself I have sworn, says the LORD, because you have done this, and have not withheld your son, your only son, I will indeed bless you, and I will multiply your descendants as the stars of heaven and as the sand which is on the seashore. And your descendants shall possess the gate of their enemies, and by your descendants shall all the nations of the earth bless themselves, because you have obeyed my voice.”

And behold, the LORD stood above it and said, ‘I am the LORD, the God of Abraham your father and the God of Isaac; the land on which you lie I will give to you and to your descendants; and your descendants shall be like the dust of the earth, and you shall spread abroad to the west and to the east and to the north and to the south; and by you and your descendants shall all the families of the earth bless themselves.'”
1 Samuel 20:6
“If your father misses me at all, then say, ‘David earnestly asked leave of me to run to Bethlehem his city; for there is a yearly sacrifice there for all the family.'”

Isaiah 9:6-7
“For to us a child is born, to us a son is given; and the government will be upon his shoulder, and his name will be called ‘Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.’ Of the increase of his government and of peace there will be no end, upon the throne of David, and over his kingdom, to establish it, and to uphold it with justice and with righteousness from this time forth and for evermore. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will do this.”

“And I wept much that no one was found worthy to open the scroll or to look into it. Then one of the elders said to me, ‘Weep not; lo, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has conquered, so that he can open the scroll and its seven seals.'”
Revelation 5:12-14
“Saying with a loud voice, ‘Worthy is the Lamb who was slain, to receive power and wealth and wisdom and might and honor and glory and blessing!’ And I heard every creature in heaven and on earth and under the earth and in the sea, and all therein, saying, ‘To him who sits upon the throne and to the Lamb be blessing and honor and glory and might for ever and ever!’ And the four living creatures said, ‘Amen!’ and the elders fell down and worshiped.”

Revelation 22:1-6
“Then he showed me the river of the water of life, bright as crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb through the middle of the street of the city; also, on either side of the river, the tree of life with its twelve kinds of fruit, yielding its fruit each month; and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations. There shall no more be anything accursed, but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it, and his servants shall worship him; they shall see his face, and his name shall be on their foreheads. And night shall be no more; they need no light of lamp or sun, for the Lord God will be their light, and they shall reign for ever and ever. And he said to me, ‘These words are trustworthy and true. And the Lord, the God of the spirits of the prophets, has sent his angel to show his servants what must soon take place.'”
Lord, teach us and sow your Word in us, so that it becomes the guide of our life. Teach us love, so that we do not seek glory for ourselves. Teach us to become your living message in this world, so that you may not be ashamed of us who are called Christians after your name, but that we may gladden your heart by our words, our deeds and the whole conduct of our lives.
To you be glory, honour, majesty and worship for ever and ever. Amen.
