“He said to them, “The Scriptures declare, ‘My Temple will be called a house of prayer for all nations,’ but you have turned it into a den of thieves.”Mark 11:17 NLT
My study bible tells me that Jesus was fulfilling prophesy here that given by Ezekiel and Malachi.
However the words Jesus speaks and refers to are from Jeremiah 7:11.
So much of what Jesus was, did and said was written beforehand in scripture. He is the fulfilment of scripture. I am sure He did not sit down and decide which he was to fulfill, it was a matter of course, it was who He was.
Prophesy is still active in the world today. Prophesy of old is still being fulfilled. Right now there is a great outpouring of the Spirit all across the world. Young people are coming to know Jesus in a magnificent way. These are the end times. To be alive now is an honour indeed. Come Lord Jesus!
Prophesy is at work in our own lives. We are a part of it and cannot escape it. Praise God that He gives prophesy so that we can know the future. The future is His. Amen!
