More than a fourth of the Bible is predictive prophecy. Approximately one-third of it has yet to be fulfilled. Both the Old and New Testaments are full of promises about the return of Jesus Christ. Over 1,800 references appear in the Old Testament, and seventeen Old Testament books give prominence to this theme. Of the 260 chapters in the New Testament, there are more than 300 references to the Lord’s return – one out of every thirty verses. Twenty-three of the twenty-seven New Testament books refer to this great event. Three of the four other books are single-chapter letters written to individuals concerning a particular subject, and the fourth is Galatians, which does imply Christ’s coming again. For every prophecy on the first coming of Christ, there are eight on Christ’s second coming.

INSTRUCTIONS

Speculaas are a traditional Dutch biscuit or cookie baked on St. Nicholas'
Eve (Dec. 5).
PREHEAT OVEN TO 325F. Mix all ingredients but the almonds and candied fruit
peel together. Add milk until it makes a stiff paste that can be rolled
out. Roll into sheets and then press blanched almonds and chopped candied
peel on top, if you desire. Cut into rectangles roughly 2-by-4-inches and
transfer to a greased cooking sheet. Bake until light brown.
