Since I originally wrote this
Bible study, I have added
several paragraphs of text
and an incredible resource
(near the bottom of this
post) that will help you
tremendously in your
search for answers to
what the future holds.
What does the Bible say

Genesis 1:14
And God said, Let there be
lights in the firmament of the
heaven to divide the day
from the night; and let
them be for signs, and

The Bible also says that
The Bible also says that
God created the heavens
to show us His glory and
power.
Psalm 19:1(b)
...The heavens declare
Psalm 19:1(b)
...The heavens declare
the glory of God; and
the firmament sheweth his
handywork.

Ah Lord GOD! behold, thou
hast made the heaven and
the earth by thy great
power and stretched out
arm, and there is nothing
too hard for thee:
Although God created the
Although God created the
stars and put them in
groups of constellations,
no where in the Bible
does God tell us that
the stars and
constellations have
'hidden meanings'
related to them. They
were created by God in
heaven for the reasons
shown in the Bible
verses already shown.
Job 9:9

Orion, and Pleiades, and
the chambers of the south.

Astrology, as defined by
Astrology, as defined by
Merriam Webster's
dictionary, is the
divination of the
supposed influences of
the stars and planets
on human affairs and
terrestrial events by
their positions and
aspects.
But, God says that
divination is an
abomination (an object
of hatred) to Him,
because it is an attempt
to predict the future by
occult or mystical
methods, instead of
trusting in God's Holy
Word, the King James
Bible, to tell us what
God tells us about
what is going to
happen in the
future. Only God in
heaven knows what
will happen in the
future!
Deuteronomy
8:10 There shall not be
found among you any
one that maketh his son
or his daughter to pass
through the fire, or that
useth divination, or an
observer of times, or
an enchanter, or a
witch,
18:11 Or a charmer, or a

consulter with familiar
spirits, or a wizard, or

who talked to the
dead].

things are an abomination
unto the LORD: and
because of these
abominations the LORD
thy God doth drive
them out from before
thee.

God also says that
divination is evil which
provokes Him to anger.

commandments of the
LORD their God, and
made them molten images,
even two calves, and
made a grove, and

of heaven, and served
Baal.

17:17 And they caused
their sons and their
daughters to pass through
the fire, and used
divination and
enchantments, and
sold themselves to do
evil in the sight of the
LORD, to provoke him
to anger.
DEAR READER, PLEASE
DEAR READER, PLEASE
TAKE THESE NEXT
VERSES TO HEART, I
BEG YOU. THIS IS
SCARY STUFF. GOD
SAYS ASTROLOGERS
WILL BE AMONG THOSE
WHO WILL BE BURNED
AS STUBBLE IN HIS
JUDGMENT!
Isaiah
47:13 Thou art wearied in the
47:13 Thou art wearied in the
multitude of thy counsels. Let
now the astrologers, the
stargazers, the monthly
prognosticators, stand up,
and save thee from these
things that shall come upon
thee.
47:14 Behold, they shall
47:14 Behold, they shall
be as stubble; the fire
shall burn them; they
shall not deliver
themselves from the
power of the flame:
there shall not be a coal
to warm at, nor fire to sit
before it.
God's Word tells us that He
God's Word tells us that He
wants us to be dependent
upon Him to get our
wisdom and knowledge
of the future, not to trust
in objects (like the sun,
moon, or stars) that He
(God in heaven) created,
and are objects that have
no power to tell the future!
James 1:5
If any of you lack wisdom,
let him ask of God, that
giveth to all men liberally,
and upbraideth not; and it
shall be given him.
God says that His Holy Word
(the KJB) is to be the Guide
for our lives, not some thing
or things that God Almighty
created!
Psalm 119:105(b)
...Thy word is a lamp unto
...Thy word is a lamp unto
my feet, and a light unto
my path.
If you are reading this, you
If you are reading this, you
must want to know the
future. Who doesn't? Did
you know that hundreds of
prophecies predicted in
the Old Testament of the
Bible have already come
true exactly as God said
they would, showing us
that the Bible is more
than just another book! It
is the supernatural
Living Word of the
one and only Living
God of heaven!
And because all of those
And because all of those
Old Testament prophecies
came true exactly as God
predicted; we can trust
that He will fulfill the
prophecies in the New
Testament (about the
future of humans and
of this corrupted world)
exactly as He did when
He fulfilled the Old
Testament prophecies.
We Christians do not
have to guess, and stress,
about our future...because
God has told exactly what
is going to happen - in His
Holy Preserved Word,
the King James Bible!
My husband and I have
been studying Bible
prophecy for years; and
because we know what
the future holds, we have
hope, joy and peace. And
for everyone who has
surrendered their life to
Jesus Christ as their
personal Saviour and
Lord of their lives, their
future is all good! JESUS
CHRIST WINS IN THE
END AND WE'RE IN
HIS FAMILY SO WE
WIN WITH HIM! We also
no longer need to fear
what comes after death
because if we have
Jesus Christ as our
personal Saviour, the
Bible tells us that the
moment we physically
die, we will immediately
be in the presence of
our loving Lord and
Saviour, Jesus Christ!
2 Corinthians 5:8
We are confident, I say,
and willing rather to be
absent from the body,
and to be present with
the Lord.
Now, obviously no one,
Now, obviously no one,
including me, likes the
thought of physically dying
and perhaps suffering
pain (I am a woos for pain);
but in heaven (which is
for eternity) there will be
no more suffering or
pain or death anymore;
and God will wipe away
all our tears that we shed
here on earth! We have
an awesome future
ahead of us!
Revelation
21:4 And God shall wipe
away all tears from their
eyes; and there shall be
no more death, neither
sorrow, nor crying,
neither shall there be
any more pain: for
the former things are
passed away.
Also, the following verses
Also, the following verses
tell us that our loving
heavenly Father and our
Saviour Jesus Christ,
have great things planned
for us for when we get to
heaven!
1 Corinthians 2:9
But as it is written, Eye hath
But as it is written, Eye hath
not seen, nor ear heard,
neither have entered into
the heart of man, the
things which God hath
prepared for them that
love him.
John 14:2 (Jesus said:)
John 14:2 (Jesus said:)
In my Father's house
are many mansions: if it
were not so, I would
have told you. I go to
prepare a place for you.
I think in this world full of
I think in this world full of
terror, hatred, Christian
persecution, moral decay,
and corruption, it is
normal for us to want to
know what the future
holds. Our Heavenly
Father is a God of love.
He loved us so much
that He sacrificed His
Sinless Son, Jesus Christ,
to die on the cross in our
place to pay our sin-debt
in full and raised Him
from the dead so that
we could have the
choice - to choose to
spend eternity in
heaven or hell. God
didn't want us worrying
about the future, so He
gave us the Books of
Revelation, Daniel, Isaiah,
and others to tell us exactly
what will happen in these
last days that we are living
in.
Also the Bible (KJB) tells us
that we Christians have no
reason to fear the future.
Jesus Christ is going to
translate us (raise us up) out
of this earth one of these
days soon to take us to
heaven with Him; and we
will leave earth before
the Great Tribulation
(God's wrath on those
who have rejected His
Son, Jesus Christ,
as their Saviour).
1 Thessalonians 4:17
Then we which are alive and
remain shall be caught up
together with them [Christians
who have died during the
Church Age are raised first]
in the clouds, to meet the
Lord in the air: and so
shall we ever be with
the Lord.
God is very patient and would
God is very patient and would
like everyone to repent of
their sins and be saved; but
He will not force people to
love and obey Him and He
will not wait forever for
people to turn from their
sins and accept His Sinless
Son, Jesus Christ, as their
personal Saviour.
2 Peter 3:9
The Lord is not slack
concerning his promise, as
some men count slackness;
but is longsuffering to
us-ward, not willing that
any should perish, but
that all should come to
repentance [being sorry
for your sins and turning
away from them].
1 Timothy 2:4
Who will have all men to
1 Timothy 2:4
Who will have all men to
be saved, and to come
unto the knowledge of the
truth.
Psalms

103:8 The LORD is
merciful and gracious,
slow to anger, and
plenteous in mercy.

chide: neither will he keep
his anger for ever.
In this unpredictable world,
In this unpredictable world,
none of us know if we have
another day to live, let
alone another minute. I
hope that you will accept
God's free gift of salvation
now, and accept Jesus
Christ as your personal
Saviour. Here is a link
to my Bible study
'How to be Saved'
to tell you how to be
saved from your sins
and go to heaven when
you die so you do not
ever have fear what
comes after death
again!
