The Amish Voice 13
In Deuteronomy 18:18 God is speaking about His Prophet.
Whose words are in a prophet's mouth? _______________
What does a prophet speak? _____________________
________________________ A true prophet cannot say
whatever he wants to say and cannot make up his own message.
Every true prophet should be able to say what David said in 2
Samuel 23:2: "The Spirit of the LORD ______________ and
His
________________
was
in
my
______________________." God does the speaking. The
prophet is just God's mouth. The prophet must give God's
message. He must not give his own message. Just as our mouth
only says what we want it to say, so also God's prophet only
says what God wants him to say.
Look up the following verses and write down the first four
words found in each verse: Isaiah 45:1; Jeremiah 19: 1;
Ezekiel 38:10; Zechariah 8: 2. _______________________
___________________________________________________
Did Isaiah say: "THUS SAITH ME"? It was not Isaiah's
message. It was God's message. This is why we call the Bible
GOD'S WORD, and not MAN'S WORD!
What Was The Prophet's Message?
Sometimes we think of a prophet as someone who predicts
what is going to happen in the future. God's prophets certainly
did this, but they also did more than this. Their main job was
to speak God's message to the people. Sometimes God wanted
the people to know about the future but sometimes God just
wanted to teach the people His truth. The prophets would not
only FORETELL (tell what would happen in the future) but
they would also FORTHTELL (speak forth God's message
and speak forth God's truth, even if it did not have anything to
do with the future). We can see this by looking up the
following verses. Read each passage and if the passage is
telling about the future, write FUTURE. If the passage is not
telling about the future, just leave the space blank.
In the next issue of
The Amish Voice
, in part three
of this study, we will look at the tests to
determine a true prophet of God.
