But out of all of these, I find Bible prophecy to be the most fascinating.<br>Whether it is Nebuchadnezzar’s dream in the book of Daniel, the Second Coming in Thessalonians, or the rise of the harlot in the book of Revelation, the Bible predicts many events—some awesome, some scary, nearly all mysterious—that have yet to be fulfilled.</div></div><div class="sp-block sp-heading-block " data-type="heading" data-id="2" style="text-align:start;"><div class="sp-block-content"  style=""><span class='h2' ><h2 >"The bible is full of locks - the trick is finding the right key to unlock them."</h2></span></div></div><div class="sp-block sp-text-block " data-type="text" data-id="3" style="text-align:start;"><div class="sp-block-content"  style="">Many of these prophecies are given in stunning metaphor and imagery. Some say these passages cannot be interpreted accurately, but I believe that God wouldn’t give us a guide without the ability to fully understand it. In fact, the Bible says that in the last days, knowledge would increase, and I believe that’s true spiritually. Just as our technology has expanded, so has our ability to connect the dots in the Bible.<br>It’s true that the Bible is full of locks—the trick is finding the right key to unlock them. The book of Daniel is a good example; the information in that ancient book provides the keys to unlock the mysteries of Revelation.</div></div><div class="sp-block sp-image-block " data-type="image" data-id="4" style="text-align:start;"><div class="sp-block-content"  style=""><a href="https://www.pinnacleofprophecy.com/" target="_self"><div class="sp-image-holder link" style="background-image:url(https://storage1.snappages.site/G6T7FD/assets/images/12930682_1920x1080_500.png);"  data-source="G6T7FD/assets/images/12930682_1920x1080_2500.png" data-url="https://www.pinnacleofprophecy.com/" data-target="_self" data-fill="true"><img src="https://storage1.snappages.site/G6T7FD/assets/images/12930682_1920x1080_500.png" class="fill" alt="" /><div class="sp-image-title"></div><div class="sp-image-caption"></div></div></a></div></div><div class="sp-block sp-text-block " data-type="text" data-id="5" style="text-align:start;"><div class="sp-block-content"  style="">I bring this up because this month, the Seventh-day Adventist Church in Granite Bay is hosting the series The Pinnacle of Prophecy with Pastor Doug Bachelor, the speaker for Amazing Facts International. He’s known around the world for his unique ability to walk people through the history and prophecies of the Bible in a way that makes sense and is meaningful for life today. I have been to a few of his prophecy presentations, and they are amazing. You’ll also enjoy that he simply provides the information and lets you decide what to do with it. So, I recommend anybody from any denomination or faith to attend this seminar series and discover for yourself what the Bible reveals about the last days.<br><b>Where: Granite Bay Hilltop Church<br>When: Oct 27 – Nov 11<br>Time: 7:00–8:30 pm</b></div></div></div></div></div></section>]]></content:encoded>

The temple itself is a grand maze of rooms set up for different event purposes, prayers, teachings, baptisms, and weddings.<br><span class="ws"></span>King Solomon himself would be awed by the grandeur of this dedication to God. Everything within handmade to perfection, marble floors from Italy, mahogany doors 4 in thick with stained glass, gold trim on just about everything, crystal chandeliers, artwork reflecting the life of Jesus, no wallpaper but hand painted patterns on the walls from the floor to the 15 foot ceilings, and crystal chandeliers.<br><span class="ws"></span>The whole Temple is built for silence, for reflection and prayer as we sat quietly to take in the peacefulness of the place it is that quiet that you could "NOT" even hear a pin drop.<br>As extravagant as it is I did not get a feeling of gaudiness but a feeling of reverence and it reflects the Mormons love for God. During the tour our guide gave us an inside look at their Doctrine, which was equally impressive, the Mormons faith is built on the rock of family and that family being eternal, married on earth and eternally in heaven. Something that surprised me is that in the Bible Jesus states that you must be baptized to make it to heaven, so the Mormons can get baptized as a surrogate for past relatives that did not have the opportunity to be baptized in life, offering the relative the opportunity to enter the Gates of Heaven. Whether you believe in this practice or not I felt it was heartwarming and beautiful.<br><span class="ws"></span>The Wedding Chapel also equally impressive but surprisingly small, as they only allow for about 50 of the closest friends and relatives making it a more personal event, both bride and groom kneel before a small altar in the middle of the room with a special mirror placed on opposite walls so when the bride and groom look into the mirror they get that symbolic reflection of Eternity as their image bounces back between the mirrors to give you that effect of eternal connection, I also felt this was a moving sentiment visually of once bonded it's eternal. There was a lot more to reflect upon including the wonderful Gardens that surround the outside of the Temple including 100-year-old olive trees. The temple will be open till September 9th and then it will be closed to the public forever, I highly recommend if you get a chance to take the family on a short field trip and get out of the heat, you will enjoy the comfort of this remarkable air conditioned tribute to God.<br>1470 Butte House Road, Yuba City</div></div></div></div></div></section>]]></content:encoded>
