Series 6 study 1 why prophecy?
@Livingwater SERIES 6 Study 1 THE IMPORTANCE OF PROPHECY Because the Bible is the only book which gives us an accurate forecast of the future, we must turn to its pages in order that we may be delivered from inexcusable ignorance and be prepared as God unfolds His prophetic programme (Matthew 22:29).
