Section 1: Recognizing Warnings and Missing Promises
Key Points:
- Many believers see the warnings in Scripture but miss the promises.
- God’s people often become self-reliant and forget that every good gift comes from Him.
- Historical events (e.g., Exodus) are not just ancient history—they are prophetic models for today.
Important Examples:
- Exodus Generation: Except for Joshua and Caleb, the first generation did not enter the Promised Land due to unbelief.
- Manna, Water from the Rock, Unworn Shoes: God provided miraculous daily needs.
- Babylonian Captivity: God’s people needed to be removed from Babylon, but also needed Babylon removed from them.
Memory Aid:
> "Warnings without promises lead to fear. Promises without warnings lead to pride. Together, they lead to faith."

Section 2: God’s Faithfulness in the Last Days
Key Points:
- We live in the last days, and God’s Word is especially relevant now.
- God gives examples from history to teach us how to live today.
- The stories are not just to warn us, but to show us who God is—faithful, powerful, and merciful.
Faithful God Framework:
- Faithful Deliverer: God delivers us from every sin and temptation.
- Faithful Provider: He supplies every need.
- Faithful Guide: He gives a way of escape in every trial.
Quote to Remember:
> "God can perfectly steer the events that will happen in the last days, events that He revealed to the prophets, but He won’t force you to love or serve Him."

Section 3: Interpreting Bible Prophecy with Purpose
Key Points:
- Bible prophecy is not just about future events—it's about character transformation.
- Ask yourself: What does this teach me about God? About my time? About His faithfulness?
- Prophecy should lead us to Jesus, the faithful Rock.
Actionable Questions:
- What does this story teach me about God’s justice?
- What does it teach me about God’s mercy?
- How does this story point to deliverance in the last days?
Analogy:
> "Bible prophecy is like a mirror—showing not only what’s ahead, but also what’s inside us."
---
Section 4: Free Will and Prophetic Fulfillment
Key Points:
- God respects free will, but still fulfills prophecy.
- We can choose to follow God or not—but the best choice is clear.
- The Bible gives us both warnings and invitations.
Quote to Remember:
> "Whatever way you're gonna go, if God be God, serve Him."
---
Section 5: Summary and Encouragement
Key Takeaways:
- Warnings in Scripture are real, but so are the promises.
- God is faithful—He will provide strength and a way out in every trial.
- Bible prophecy should be read through a last-days lens.
- We are called to serve God fully, trusting in His promises.
Closing Scripture:
> "Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God." – Matthew 4:4

Study Tips & Memory Aids
Mnemonics:
- W.A.R.N. – Warnings, Always, Reveal, Needs (to also look for the promises)
- P.R.O.M.I.S.E. – Promises Reveal Our Motivation, Inspire Strength, and Encourage
Frameworks:
- The 3 Lenses Approach:
1. Historical Lens – What happened?
2. Prophetic Lens – What does this mean for today?
3. Personal Lens – What does this teach me about God and myself?
- Promise Sandwich:
- Bottom Layer – The Warning
- Middle Layer – The Trial or Temptation
- Top Layer – The Promise of Deliverance
Reflection Questions:
- What warning am I seeing in this passage?
- What promise is connected to it?
- How does this help me trust God more today?
Analogy:
> "The Bible is like a GPS—giving both warnings about the road ahead and the route to safety."
