Biblical Reflections on Obedience, Prophecy, and Judgment
Acts 16
6
Now when they had gone through
Phrygia and the region of Galatia,
they
were forbidden by the Holy Spirit to
preach the word in Asia
.
7
After they
had come to Mysia, they tried to go into
Bithynia, but the Spirit did not permit
them.
Genesis 3
15
And
I will put enmity
Between you and the woman,
And between your seed and her Seed;
He shall bruise your head
,
And you shall bruise His heel.”
2 Peter 3
Beloved, I now write to you this second epistle (in
both
of
which I stir up your pure minds by way of
reminder),
2
that you may be mindful of the words which
were spoken before by the holy prophets
, and of the
commandment of us, the apostles of the Lord and
Savior,
3
knowing this first: that scoffers will come in the
last days, walking according to their own lusts,
4
and saying,
“
Where is the promise of His coming
? For since the fathers
fell asleep, all things continue as
they were
from the
beginning of creation.”
5
For this they willfully forget: that by the word of God the
heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of water
and in the water,
6
by which the world
that
then existed
perished, being flooded with water.
7
But the heavens and
the earth
which
are now preserved by the same word, are
reserved for fire until the day of judgment and perdition of
ungodly men.
8
But, beloved, do not forget this one thing, that with the
Lord one day
is
as a thousand years, and a thousand years as
one day.
9
The Lord is not slack concerning
His
promise, as
some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not
willing that any should perish but that all should come to
repentance.
Ecclesiastes 3
To everything
there is
a
season,
A time for every purpose
under heaven:
Ecclesiastes 8
11
Because the sentence against an evil work is not
executed speedily, therefore the heart of the sons of
men is fully set in them to do evil.
12
Though a sinner
does evil a hundred
times,
and his
days
are prolonged,
yet I surely know that it will be well with those who
fear God, who fear before Him.
13
But it will not be
well with the wicked
; nor will he
prolong
his
days,
which are
as a shadow, because he
does not fear before God.
Isaiah 40
He gives power to the weak,
And to
those who have
no might He increases
strength.
30
Even the youths shall faint and be weary,
And the young men shall utterly fall,
31
But those who wait on the
Lord
Shall
renew
their
strength;
They shall mount up with wings like eagles,
They shall run and not be weary,
They shall walk and not faint.
2 Thessalonians 3
13
But
as for
you,
brethren, do not grow
weary
in
doing good.
Galatians 6
7
Do not be deceived, God is not mocked;
for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap.
8
For
he who sows to his flesh will of the flesh reap
corruption, but he who sows to the Spirit will of the
Spirit reap everlasting life.
9
And let us not grow
weary while doing good, for in due season we shall
reap if we do not lose heart
.
10
Therefore, as we
have opportunity, let us do good to all, especially to
those who are of the household of faith.
Habakkuk 2
2
Then the
Lord
answered me and said:
“Write the vision
And make
it
plain on tablets,
That he may run who reads it.
3
For the vision
is
yet
for an appointed time
;
But at the end it will speak, and it will not lie.
Though it tarries,
wait for it
;
Because it will surely come
,
It will not tarry.
4
“Behold the proud,
His soul is not upright in him;
But the just shall live by his faith.
1 Corinthians 15
58
Therefore, my beloved brethren,
be steadfast, immovable, always
abounding in the work of the Lord,
knowing that your labor is not in
vain in the Lord
Lamentations 3
22
Through
the
Lord
’s mercies we are not consumed,
Because His compassions fail not.
23
They are
new every morning;
Great
is
Your faithfulness.
24
“The
Lord
is
my portion,” says my soul,
“Therefore I hope in Him!”
25
The
Lord
is
good to those who wait for Him
,
To the soul
who
seeks Him.
26
It is
good that
one
should hope and wait quietly
For the salvation of the
Lord
.
Romans 13
11
And
do
this, knowing the time, that now
it is
high
time to awake out of sleep; for now our
salvation
is
nearer than when we
first
believed.
12
The
night is far spent, the day is at hand. Therefore let
us cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on
the armor of light.
13
Let us walk
[
c
]
properly, as in the
day, not in revelry and drunkenness, not in lewdness
and lust, not in strife and envy.
14
But put on the Lord
Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh,
to
fulfill its
lusts.
The passages from Acts, Genesis, 2 Peter, Ecclesiastes, and Isaiah offer insights into obedience to the Holy Spirit, the prophecy of the coming Savior, warnings about scoffers in the last days, the consequences of willful forgetfulness, the timing of God's promises, the cycle of seasons in life, the justice against evil deeds, and the strength provided by God to the weak. These scriptures emphasize the importance of faith, repentance, fear of God, and trust in His timing.
