Preached in Cookstown FPC by Rev Ivan Foster on 29th November 2015 at the evening service. We looked this morning at Simeon and noted that he is an model for God's people in any age. Now I would like to consider him as a model for believers in these last days. SIMEON KNEW THE TIME AND THE SEASON IN WHICH HE LIVED. He was guided by the Word of God. The Word was confirmed by signs. The early church was very much alive to Christ's return. Peter warned of latter day critics and doubters of the truth of Christ's return.
