Prophecies are like sign posts; they are given to guide us to our destiny, to help us recognize our Redeemer. But many believers, throughout all ages, have used them for an opposite purpose. They have turned them into obstacles to deny their Redeemer. They have acted like someone who thirsts for water, but uses water to drown himself!The prime reason for the abuse of prophecy is the abundance of symbols, parables, and metaphors in sacred Scriptures—especially in prophetic verses—and the abundance of literal-minded believers among the followers of all religions.
