How does know¬ing prophecies help us?

Question:
How does knowing prophecies help us?

Answer:
“The day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night….Seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of Him in peace, without spot, and blameless” (2 Peter 3:10-14).

The only foundation for our faith is Jesus Christ (1 Corinthians 3:10-13), and “the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy” (Revelation 19:10). The right study of prophecy is seeing that all prophecy points to the glorification of Christ, and only if Christ is our Object and Goal will we be helped in our spiritual lives.
