Future
In the Bible, the concept of "future" encompasses both temporal and theological dimensions. From a temporal perspective, the future is often understood in terms of God's sovereignty over human history. Scriptures like Isaiah 46:10 affirm that God declares the end from the beginning, highlighting His omniscience and control over what is to come. This understanding is crucial in the prophetic literature, where the future often reveals God's plan for His people and the unfolding of events leading to the culmination of history, particularly in eschatological contexts.Theologically, the future is significant for believers in terms of hope and expectation. In the New Testament, particularly in the writings of Paul and the book of Revelation, the future is tied to the promise of eternal life and the return of Christ (Titus 2:13, Revelation 21:1-4). Believers are encouraged to live in anticipation of this future reality, which shapes their present conduct and faith. The future, therefore, is not merely a sequence of events but is imbued with divine purpose, offering a foundation for hope and moral responsibility in the present.
