Prophecy Quiz

Most of us at some time have come across a humorous, and sometimes humiliating, demonstration of how the mind works (or doesn’t work), like the following:

Read the following statement only once and count how many F’s it contains-

FINISHED FILES ARE THE RESULT OF YEARS OF SCIENTIFIC STUDY COMBINED WITH THE EXPERIENCE OF YEARS.

Most of us will find three F’s in the statement, and are surprised to learn that there are actually six F’s. The reason we overlook the three F’s in the three occurrences of the word “of” is because they sound like a “v” and therefore our minds don’t register them as F’s. We may have to actually look at each letter to “see” all six F’s. Likewise, we often need to narrow our focus when studying God’s Word to avoid reading right past something, or thinking that the text says something that it really doesn’t. For example, take the following prophecy quiz to see how well you know your Bible.

How many times does the term “Second Coming” occur in the New Testament?

How many times does the term “Antichrist” occur in the book of Revelation?

How many times does the term “Spiritual Israel” occur in the New Testament?

The answer to all of these questions is none! “Second” occurs only once in relation to Christ’s return (Heb 9:28). “Antichrist” is found only in 1 & 2 John.  Although the concept of “Spiritual Israel” can be found in Scripture, the term is never used.
