We are being plunged into a period of time about which the Bible says
more than it does about any other period of time
in history.
If the Creator wanted a great oak in a certain place at a certain time,
He would not have to wait until that time comes,
and then get someone to dig up a big tree and transplant it. But hundreds
or even thousands of years before, He could cause an acorn to be dropped
in the right place and the tree would be growing there healthy and strong
at the appointed time.
If God wanted a certain message to be given to a certain people at a
certain time. He would not have to wait until that time to get someone
to write the message and try to get it into circulation. Instead, He could
cause the message to be written thousands of years in advance and have
it in worlwide circulation, in all languages, when
the time comes.
Through prophecy, the Bible authenticates that it alone transcends time
and space. No other book dares to establish its credibility by telling
the future in advance. |
