Tim Tebow & God's Prophetic Voice: 316, 31.6, 3:16 and more (part 1)

I was led by the Holy Spirit to analogize in my book (really God’s book, not mine!) that God’s Creation is like a football game. Here’s what is written on pg 50: “You might ask; how does God receive pleasure from the things He created? The answer is because He set up creation like a game!!! … It is like mankind “creating” the game of football for his pleasure. The game has a playing field, a beginning an ending time, rules, and players that can win or lose .... Let us now examine the components making up the Game of Life God has created for His pleasure: The playing field is planet Earth, the length of the Game is 7,000 Earth trips around the sun, the rules are the 10 Commandments, the players are His spirit children, and the Bible is the Game’s handbook.” I bring the aforementioned book passage up in today’s blog just for you to take note that God had me liken His Creation to a football game in AD 2008.

Well, this past weekend on Sunday January 8, 2012, God AMAZINGLY used a football game to speak to mankind! A Christian rookie quarterback named Tim Tebow—whom the pundits and critics have lampooned all season for his faith and play—led an 8-8 Denver Broncos team to an improbable victory over a 12-4 Pittsburgh Steelers team in a first-round playoff game. No one gave him any hope of winning, but he did! But here’s the kicker; in college Tebow would paint Scripture references on his eye black—this is not allowed in pro-football—and he wore John 3:16 during the AD 2009 Collegiate Championship game. So what did God miraculously do this past Sunday night? He guided Tim Tebow to throw for a total of 316 yards passing with an average of 31.6 yards per catch!!! The pundits noticed the 316 / 31.6 / John 3:16 “coincidence” and wrote about it; then millions of people across America Googled the Bible passage—making it the #1 search on Google for a day!—after the game, reading: “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life” (John 3:16). Hallelujah. God knows how to deliver His Word to the world, folks!

Oh, but this is not all God spoke through the game! For on pgs 75-76 of my book I wrote: “Friend, the stakes in the Game of Life are extremely high: Your priceless soul’s ETERNAL destiny is on the line! And the Game is almost over!!! Year 6,000 is fast approaching with the return of Jesus Christ to planet Earth and the setting up of his 1,000 year Earthly Sabbath reign. If the first 6,000 years of mankind’s history were equated to a 60 minute FOOTBALL GAME, approximately 12 seconds would be left on the clock till Christ’s return at the writing of this book in AD 2008. That is how late is!” So in the Tebow game this past weekend, God miraculously controlled the circumstances in order for the game to be tied at the END of 60 minutes. And this took the game to overtime: Here’s where God’s astounding prophetic voice spoke!

A coin toss decided who got the ball first ... Tebow got it. (Think that was a “lucky” coin toss? ... Think again!) Then, on his VERY FIRST PLAY (in other words, IMMEDIATELY AFTER the 60 minute game was over!) he threw an 80 yard passing play for a touchdown, which WON the game instantly!!! Jesus said, “IMMEDIATELY AFTER the tribulation of those (Antichrist's) days … they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together (rapture) his elect (saints) from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other” (Matthew 24:29-30). Listen, the Antichrist will be given the last 3 ½ years to “wear out the saints” (Daniel 7:25) during a time of Great Tribulation leading up to Earth’s 6,000 year. Then, IMMEDIATELY AFTER the Great Tribulation (or immediately after the END of 6,000 years!) there’s going to be a SINGLE PLAY ... Oh, and yes, it's going to be a “passing play” that’s going to WIN the game for Jesus Christ and all the elect!!! For the saints will PASS from death unto life, receiving their glorified bodies as they PASS (ascend) into the air to meet Jesus Christ in the clouds! Hallelujah. Exactly like God prophesied through the Tebow game!!!

Oh, but God’s prophetic voice didn’t stop there! For after Jesus said the above words in Matthew’s gospel, he said: “Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh: So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors. Verily I say unto you, This GENERATION shall not PASS, till ALL these things be fulfilled” (Matthew 24: 32-34). In scripture, the nation of Israel is known as the Fig Tree: “I found Israel like grapes in the wilderness; I saw your fathers as the firstripe in the fig tree at her first time” (Hosea 9:10). Against all odds, Israel “put forth her leaves” (became a nation again) in the year AD 1948, and thus began the final generation! And God said through Moses: “The days of our years are threescore years and ten (70); and if by reason of strength they be fourscore (80) years, yet is their strength labour and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we FLY AWAY (rapture)” (Psalms 90:10).  And how long was Tebow’s winning pass play? Exactly 80 YARDS !!!  Did God just confirm the year AD 2028 (1948 + 80) will be the year of His son’s return to Earth? I’ll leave you to ponder that!
