The Bible is not Only a book of doctrines but a book of prophecies
At some point i kind of query myself as to why the bible is divided into two separate halves called the old and new testament, do you know why they are called testament, thats because they are proves, testimonies, they are documentaries of past event what actually happened and if you study the bible carefully you will realise that all that transpired in the old testament were actually prophecies of things to come, about the life of jesus, now when Jesus came marking the fulfillment of these prophecies and all that was written about him, he also for told us of another prophecies of things to come, about the end of the world and what will happen afterlife.
The bible is a book of prophecies, what is the intent of prophecies John 14:29
Now i have told you before it comes to pass, when it is come to pass, ye might belive
The intent of prophecies is to equipe our minds, to shape our mentality, to get us prepared for what is to come, it is an error for a believer to be taken unawares by whatsoever storms of life, Gods word is true and real, whatever it is that is to come It has already been written down in the scripture for our good to know, thats why when we study Gods word we are equipping ourselves with necessary information of the things that will likely come our ways, but were a believer is bankcrupt of Gods word in him or her then that believer is open to anything that comes his way
we have the ability to know and to shape our future through the scriptures Proverbs 16:9, says a man's way deviseth his way but the lord directed his step, this again assures us that we can trust In God to bring our future to reality, so we can confidently plan, strategies, implement our thoughts knowing fully well that what we have visualise will surely become reality
