PROPHECY, WHY GIVEN PART 1


PROPHECY, WHY GIVEN PART 1


WHY were the Sacred Writings given?
"For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the Scriptures might have hope." Rom. 15: 4.
By what means is all scripture given?
"All scripture is given by inspiration of God." 2 Tim: 3:16.
For what is it profitable?
"And is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness." 2 Tim: 3:16.
How was the prophecy given?
"For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost."2 Peter 1:21.
What is the Lord able to do regarding the future?
"Behold, the former things are come to pass, and new things do I declare: before they spring forth I tell you of them." Isaiah. 42:9.
How far-reaching is God's ability to reveal the future? 
"Remember the former things of old: for I am God, . . . and there is none like Me, declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done." Isa. 46:9, 10.

NOTES.— In contrast with this, note the following confession of a noted modern historian as to man's inability to reveal the future:—
"History has yet made so slight progress toward the scientific basis that she is able to foretell nothing that is to be hereafter. As to the future, she is stone-blind. There is not a philosopher in the world who can forecast the historical evolution to the extent of a single day. The historian is as completely dumb before the problems of 1895 as a charlatan whether prophet ought to be with respect to the meteorological conditions of the next season. The year will come and go. It will fulfil its purpose in the great calendar of man-life. Its events and issues will be evolved with scientific exactitude out of antecedent conditions. But no man living can predict what the aspect and event will be. The tallest son of the morning can neither foretell nor foresee the nature of what is to come in the year that already stands knocking at the door."— John Clark Ridpath, in
Christian at Work, Dec. 27, 1894.

Knowing all things, the future is present with God. More, perhaps,
than any other one thing, the prophecies of the Bible and their fulfilment
bear witness to its divine inspiration.
 To whom does God reveal the secrets of the future?
"Surely the Lord God will' do nothing, but He revealeth His secret unto His servants the prophets.' Amos 3: 7.
 To whom do the things which have been revealed belong? "The secret things belong unto the Lord our God: but those things which are revealed belong unto us and to our children forever." Deut. 29:29.

Prayer Point
›We are thanking being omniscient
› We are thanking God that He will do nothing unless He reveals to His prophets
› We are pleading for the blood of Jesus
› We are asking God to pour His Spirit on us so that we will hear from Him in all avenues available. From the Bible, His Servants, dreams, nature and other mediums
› We are asking God to reveal onto us a solution to this pandemic that has attacked us
› We are asking God to visit us like never before, that all flesh will hear his voice and act wisely.
› Thank God for His gifts that are going to manifest mightly in us from hence.
