Agents of the Apocalypse: Agents of the Messiah by ric Gustafson
It says in II Timothy 3:16 that all Scripture is given by inspiration of God and is profitable. Everything is Scripture is focused on one central theme. That theme is to establish that Jesus Christ is the rightful ruler over all of God's creation. The Bible from the beginning has talked in detail of what is called the ' end times'. The writers of Scripture are agents of the Messiah and his Kingdom. These agents of God's Word are preparing his people for the climax of world history.
It says in Revelation 22:13 that Jesus Christ is the Alpha, the Omega, the Beginning and the End, and the First and the Last.
There were several of God's agents. There was Zechariah foreseeing the coming of Christ as a King. Isaiah prophesying that the Messiah would come as a ruler bringing peace. Micah who saw the Messiah coming as a ruler in Israel. Daniel who saw the coming of the Messiah's Kingdom destroying all other kingdoms. Daniel also saw the final judgment of all humanity.
The purpose of God's agents is written in Amos 3:7. It states that the Lord God does nothing unless he reveals his secret to his servants the prophets. Through God's prophets, God gives us insights into the past, present and future of his redemptive plan. Jesus, God's Son, told in his Word restores humanity and creation to a condition that brings eternal glory to God.
