Your Daily Portion – How to Study Bible Prophecy | Lesson 10 of 13
Session Overview
- Date: May 31, 2025 (Sabbath)
- Host: L. David Harris
- Program: Your Daily Portion
- Theme: The Ends Have Come Upon Whom the Ends Have Come
- Focus: Interpreting Bible prophecy with a lens on the last days, recognizing both warnings and promises in Scripture.
---
Key Biblical Reference: 1 Corinthians 10:11–13
> "Now all these things happened unto them for examples: and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come."
> "There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it."
---
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."
