  7. DEFINING PROPHECY W.E. VINE:“Though much of OT prophecy was purely predictive… prophecy is not necessarily, nor even primarily, fore-telling. It is the forth-telling of the will of God, whether with reference to the past, the the present, or the future”

  8. DEFINING PROPHECY B.B.Baxter: “Prophecy deals with events and human affairs which do not happen in casual order but are unpredictable. A prophecy must be more than a good guess. It must possess sufficient accuracy as to be capable of verification”

  9. DEFINING PROPHECY Isaiah 9:6-7 Isaiah was so sure of God’s prophecy, he wrote as if it already has happened. “For unto us a child ISborn, unto us a Son IS given”

  10. DEFINING PROPHECY Isaiah 55:11 “So shall my word be that goes forth from My mouth; it shall not return to me void, but it shall accomplish what I please, and it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it”

  11. FALSE PREDICTORS GOD’S CHALLENGE! “’Present your case,’ says the Lord. ‘Bring forth your strong reasons… Let them bring forth and show us what will happen…declare to us things to come. Show the things that are to come hereafter, that we may know you are gods” (Isaiah 41:21-23ff)

  13. JEHOVAH Isaiah 44:6-8 “I am the First and I am the Last; besides me there is no God. And who can proclaim as I do? Then let him declare it...” God challenges anyone to prophesy as He can!

  14. JEHOVAH Isaiah 46:9-10 “I am God, and there is none like me, declaring the end from the beginning”
