"Seek ye the LORD while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near:
Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the LORD, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.
For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways, my ways, saith the LORD.
For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.
For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater:
So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it." (Isaiah 55: 6-11)
The reason people do not believe in the future---the future that we are told in the Bible---is because they do not believe in the Bible; and the reason they do not believe in the Bible is because they do not believe in God through Christ the Lord: for God and Christ and the Bible are one.
Jesus said,
"Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away." (Mark 13: 31)
Therefore, it is impossible for the words of the Bible to pass away because God's words are eternal.
Knowing that this is true, the Bible is the knowledge of God; and if people will seek the Bible they will receive the knowledge of God; but without having their faith in the Bible, they will reject the knowledge of God and cling to their own knowledge; and their own knowledge will lead them further and further away from God. Their minds will therefore always be troubled, just as the ocean is always a place of troubled water because of constant wind and storms.
