An Ancient Prophecy That Affects You - HOW ARE WE BENEFITING FROM THIS PROPHECY?

 Shortly after Jesus was installed as Messianuc King in 1914, Satan was cast out from heaven. He is now confined to the vicinity of the earth, awaiting his destruction. (Revelation 12:9, 12)  But he is not waiting passively. Satan is desperate and furious, venting his anger on God's people. (Revelations 12:13, 17) For that reason, the world's hatred of God's people have intensified. We have no reason, though, to fear Satan and hid followers. Instead, we can have the same conviction  as did the apostle Paul, who wrote: "If  God is for us, who will be against us? (Romans 8:31)   We can have complete confidence in Jehovah because as we have seen, much of the prophecy recorded at Genesis 3:15has already been fulfilled.

Jejovah's promise found at Genesis 3:15 can help us cope with whatever trials come our way. Curtis, who serves as a missionary in Guam, says: "At times, I have dealt with trials  and disappointments that tested my devotion  to Jehovah. But meditating on the prophecy at Genesis 3:15 has helped me to trust in my heavenly Father." Curtis looks forward to the day when Jehovah will bring an end to all our trials.
