Surely the Lord God will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets (Amos 3:7).
The holy prophets of God brought His divine revelation to humanity. They set forth His message and foretold the future. God reveals Himself to people in various ways--through the Holy Scripture, through the great book of nature, through His providences, and through direct contact with the human spirit. And all His revelations are in harmony, for God Himself is their author. Whatever I necessary for God's people to know concerning their welfare will be revealed through His servants the prophets.
The prophets of the Old Testament foretold the coming of Jesus Christ, the greatest prophet of all. They foretold events still in the future. Every year that goes by strengthens prophecy, and its events offer absolute proof of the divine inspiration of the Scriptures. Jesus said, "I have told you before it come to pass, that, when it is come to pass, ye might believe" (John 14:29).
In the ancient torch races one runner passed the torch on to the next. So the flaming torch of prophecy, passed down from hand to hand across the centuries, when held aloft, changes the gloomy path of history to the lighted way.
A traveler in a stagecoach once attempted to divert the company and display his hostility to the Scriptures by ridiculing them. "As to the prophecies," he said, "they were all written after the events took place." A minister, who had previously been silent, replied, "Sir, I must beg leave to mention one remarkable prophecy as an exception: 'Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers' [2 Peter 3:3]."
The prophecies of the Bible are really promises, and "the Lord is not slack concerning his promise" (verse 9). Let us study and believe the prophecies, and we shall receive a great spiritual revival.
MEDITATION PRAYER: "The entrance of thy words giveth light; it giveth understand unto the simple" (Ps. 119:130).
