maybe you see it that way.
And maybe this was the first thought that came to you.
I have another thought tho.
And the thought I had, actually increases the need for prophecy.
I'll leave you to work out what that thought and perspective might be.
Actually it is what God says.
Is 42:
I
am the Lord, that
is My name;
And My glory I will not give to another,
Nor My praise to carved images.
9 Behold, t
he former things have come to pass,
And
new things I declare;
Before they spring forth I tell you of them.
Is 44:
“Thus says the Lord, the King of Israel,
And his Redeemer, the Lord of hosts:
‘I
am the First and I
am the Last;
Besides Me there is no God.
7 And
who can proclaim as I do?
Then let him declare it and set it in order for Me,
Since I appointed the ancient people.
And the things that are coming and shall come,
Let them show these to them.
8 Do not fear, nor be afraid;
Have I not told you from that time, and declared it?
You
are My witnesses.
Is there a God besides Me?
Indeed
there is no other Rock;
I know not
one.’ ”
Is 46:
Remember the former things of old,
For I am God, and there is no other;
I am God, and there is none like Me,
10 Declaring the end from the beginning,
And
from ancient times things that are not yet done,
Saying, ‘My counsel shall stand,
And I will do all My pleasure,’
God also tells us that if any prophet speaks a word. and that thing does nto come true. He speaks not from God. and shall not be listened too
Deut 18: 22 when a
prophet speaks in the name of the Lord,
if the thing does not happen or come to pass, that is the thing which the Lord has not spoken; the prophet has spoken it presumptuously; you shall not be afraid of him.
