Perhaps there is nothing more convincing of the Divine than the ability to tell future events.
There are many deceivers and charlatans who try to trick people by telling them the future. The scriptural test for someone who claims to be a prophet is that he must always be right!! Because God knows all things, He knows the future to the same degree as He knows the past and present, so we should expect His Word to tell future events; IT DOES: Prime examples in the Old Testament are in the book of Isaiah which foretold for instance the virgin birth of Christ about 700 years in advance and the book of Micah which told us that the Messiah(Christ) would be born in Bethlehem hundreds of years in advance. In the book of Daniel, the kingdoms of Babylon, Meda-Persia, Greece and Rome were spoken of in advance and minute details concerning future events associated with these kingdoms in their dealing with Israel were prophesied. These things were all fulfilled. Likewise we have in the New Testament many events which are foretold and which are yet future. We do well to study these and carefully and prayerfully watch for their fulfillment: What the Bible says concerning the future will happen because God has said it and He knows!!

I have really enjoyed reading the blogs you have posted, this one especially. I love the verse in Isaiah 46:9,10... 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... May God bless you for your faithful witness and all those who read your poems and writings.
