My Journey With Christ

Christianity is declining in the West, in stark contrast to other countries, particularly in the East, where it faces suppression. Yet, many are turning to our Lord. In Iran, it is claimed that hundreds of thousands of Christians have secretly joined the Body of Christ at great peril, and churches are growing daily. In contrast, here in the West, Christianity is rapidly becoming a 'minority religion.'During the Reformation, Bible critics planted the seeds that transformed the Church into a lukewarm entity. However, nineteenth-century missionaries brought God's grace particularly to the United Kingdom, which initiated a significant event in the early twentieth century. The Bible is filled with prophecies that leaders of our assemblies do not regularly teach. Prophecy aims to give the Church hope and encourages us to look forward to our Lord's return. This account describes the unravelling of a crimson cord from Genesis to Revelation. The creation narrative is not just about how God created the heavens and the earth, but also outlines God's plan for redemption. The pattern of creation, by design, is connected to the first Passover Lamb, Jesus' crucifixion and resurrection, illustrating how Jesus is the 'First Fruits' and took paradise to Heaven. In short, Genesis chapter 1 is both enlightening and prophetic. We will explore the possibility of a 'hidden' day in the creation narrative. Prophecy is also linked to the Last Supper, which established a New Covenant and a Betrothal. It foreshadows the reality of the Church's rapture. Framing this within 'culture, context and audience' enhances its prophetic nature.
