THE WITNESS OF THE CENTURIES The Sure Word of Prophecy "We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed." 2 Peter 1:19. The prophetic scriptures afford infallible evidence that the voice of the living God speaks in Holy Writ. One of the distinguishing marks of divinity is the power that foretells and records the course of history long ages before the events come to pass. God's Challenge God's challenge to false religious systems in olden time was this: "Declare us things for to come. Show the things that are to come hereafter, that we may know that ye are gods." Isa. 41:22, 23. And all the gods of the nations were silent; for they are no gods. The Lord alone, the one who speaks by the Holy Scriptures, is able to tell the end from the beginning. "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, saying, My counsel shall stand." Isa. 46:9, 10. |
