In last night's message I poked a little fun at the students of prophecy who make it their job to speculate. There is and always has been among us as Christians an interest in prophecy especially when it relates to what is happening around us. Yet we do need to be careful that we don't replace what God has revealed about something with something that we think he revealed. Hitler was a prime target for such thinking, he was proven to be the antichrist for many of the years he was alive and even now a few think he might be resurrected to become this character.
It's best to remember that God said He would unveil this person and we won't know who it is until God chooses to do this. In the mean time it's better to "abide in Him, so that when He comes, we'll not be ashamed at His coming" (1 John 2:28). Prophecy allows us to see the end so let's believe what God has said and allow prophecy to be used of God to give us endurance, growing faith, and abounding love. (2 Thessalonians 1:1-5) "Come quickly, Lord Jesus!"
