Nearly one in three verses looks forward to events which were still future at the time of writing. Predictive prophecy is the seal on the Bible\u2019s inspiration. It lifts Scripture from being the words of man to the assurance that we are studying the word of God. Biblical prophecy is not solely the outcome of the Lord\u2019s greater intelligence that enables Him to make more accurate predictions of future events than us. Nor is it the result of His foreknowledge that enables Him to reveal the future. The Lord states in Isaiah, \u201cNew things I declare; before they spring forth I tell you of them.\u201d Isaiah 42: 9.&nbsp; Our God speaks the future into existence. He both determines and declares what will happen.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p><!-- wp:more --><\/p>\n<div class=\"swpm-more-tag-not-logged-in swpm-margin-top-10\">You need to login to view the rest of the content.
