The Blessing of Prophecy

For many believers, prophecy feels either intimidating or irrelevant. But what if it’s actually an invitation to blessing? In this second episode of Footsteps of the Messiah: The Beginning of the End, we open Revelation 1:3—a verse that promises joy, clarity, and spiritual vitality to those who read, hear, and keep the prophetic Word.

You’ll discover why biblical prophecy isn’t speculative guesswork—it’s a call to readiness, holiness, and worship. We’ll walk through:

• The personal, conditional, and timely nature of God’s prophetic blessing
• How Revelation is structured to strengthen, not confuse, the Church
• Four common myths that have sidelined prophecy in the modern Church
• How prophecy fuels worship, builds endurance, and realigns your affections

Prophecy isn’t a hobby—it’s a holy summons. And as you’ll see, understanding the end times isn’t about fear or controversy—it’s about knowing Christ more fully and living in joyful preparation for His soon return.

Key Verse:

“Blessed is he who reads and those who hear the words of the prophecy and keep the things which are written in it, for the time is near.” — Revelation 1:3 (LSB)

Next Episode: The Golden Rule of Interpretation — unlocking the key to reading prophecy with clarity and confidence: “Literal, unless context demands otherwise.”
