My book report on the Bible

So some of you may not know that I recently read the whole bible, well at least most of it. I decided to do this for a book report due tomorrow! I am so excited to see my teachers respone. I pray that God can use in some shape or form.

Here it is!


Are You Ready?
When someone reads the Bible, it might seem that it just contains stories that have occurred in the past. But, that theory does not seem entirely true. In the book of Revelation, written by John, he clearly tells his audience a very symbolic story that will occur at the time when Jesus returns for his second coming. The New Testament gives the audience warnings about the antichrist and how the world soon comes to an end. It says in Revelations 16:15 “Behold, I come like a thief! Blessed is he who stays awake and keeps his clothes with him, so that he may not go naked and be shamefully exposed.” This passage clearly says that no one knows the day or the hour when Jesus will return. However, in this point in history, it clearly shows that something big will soon happen. John’s predictions about the end of the world have come into play. This society will face judgment in the very near future.
In the New Testament, it states “When you see Jerusalem being surrounded by armies, you will know that its desolation is near” (Luke 21:20). Right now, countries around the world have had their sites set for this country. They want to take over this land and make it their own. North Korea has sent many threats to Israel trying to take over the promise land. Iran sent many missiles over to Jerusalem hoping to push the Jews out of their country. This clearly makes the prophecy from Jesus true. Israel’s borders have become battles grounds and will continue to have battles until the Lord returns. This prophecy stated by Jesus, has become a reality.
Right now in this world, meetings have taken place involving a one world government. In Brussels, Belgium, a building has come into existence for a group of people to run this world under one ruler. This building will have divisions for different countries and the ruler will have control over everything. It states “He was given power to make war against the saints and to conquer them. And he was given authority over every tribe, people, language, and nation” (Revelation 13:7). This clearly describes a nation controlled by a ruler that can do anything. At the same time, a meeting in Europe occurred on April 2, 2009 and they came together to discuss a global currency. Basically, they want every single country under the same currency. If a person does not use this currency, he will not have any source of money. In the Bible it says “ He also forced everyone, small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on his right hand or on his forehead, so that no one could buy or sell unless he had the mark, which is the name of the beast or the number of his name” (Revelation 13: 16-17). With this evidence becoming true, this clearly shows that this country needs to be ready for when Jesus comes.
Overall these warnings made by Jesus and the prophets, clearly tell the Christian believers to be ready, and not live in fear about the end of the world. Those who have accepted Christ through salvation should have a positive outlook regarding the end of the world. If they have a fearful attitude about the destruction of the world, then they will not have a peaceful life. Revelation not only describes the destruction of the earth, but it shows the building of the New Jerusalem. At the end of Revelation, scripture provides a sense of hope to those born again Christian believers. This hope tells them to not worry about their life on the earth, but to focus on the new life of joy and peace in heaven.
