Why should we study prophecies that will not be happening to us?

Question:
Why should we spend time studying prophecies and things that will not be happening to us?

Answer:
We need to rightly divide the Word of Truth and be able to explain what we believe and receive the discernment of the Spirit. Acts 17:31 refers to the appointed day when God will judge the world, so we need to know this in order to warn other people of what will happen. It is all a part of our credibility and testimony.

If we study the Bible first, it will prepare our hearts for prayer time alone with God. We looked at Revelation 3:20 and saw that we can listen to His voice through the Word and then talk with Him.We spent Sunday evening in prayer before God, which was a wonderful time. We enjoyed some singing and looked at Romans 8:26, 27 to prepare us for the prayer time.
