“And so we have the prophetic word confirmed, which you do well to heed as a light that shines in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts”

2 Pet. 1:19

“And so we have the prophetic word confirmed, which you do well to heed as a light that shines in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts”

Prophetic Word Confirmed

W.E. VINE: “Though much of OT prophecy was purely predictive… prophecy is not necessarily, nor even primarily, fore-telling. It is the forth-telling of the will of God, whether with reference to the past, the the present, or the future”

B.B.Baxter: “Prophecy deals with events and human affairs which do not happen in casual order but are unpredictable. A prophecy must be more than a good guess. It must possess sufficient accuracy as to be capable of verification”

Isaiah 9:6-7 Isaiah was so sure of God’s prophecy, he wrote as if it already has happened. “For unto us a child IS born, unto us a Son IS given”

Isaiah 55:11 “So shall my word be that goes forth from My mouth; it shall not return to me void, but it shall accomplish what I please, and it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it”

GOD’S CHALLENGE! “’Present your case,’ says the Lord. ‘Bring forth your strong reasons… Let them bring forth and show us what will happen… declare to us things to come. Show the things that are to come hereafter, that we may know you are gods” (Isaiah 41:21-23ff)

Isaiah 44:6-8 “I am the First and I am the Last; besides me there is no God. And who can proclaim as I do? Then let him declare it...” God challenges anyone to prophesy as He can!

Isaiah 46:9-10 “I am God, and there is none like me, declaring the end from the beginning”
