Men may know many things by seeing; but no prophet can see before the event, nor what end waits for him.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The wisest prophets make sure of the event first.
Prophecy is an intercept from the mind of an all-knowing and all-seeing and all-powerful God.
With prophecies the commentator is often a more important man than the prophet.
One thing about God's will, you can never see God's will before it happens. You can only see at the end of it.
Another way of judging the value of a prophet's religious experience, therefore, would be to examine the type of manhood that he has created, and the cultural world that has sprung out of the spirit of his message.
To see clearly is poetry, prophecy and religion all in one.
The best Qualification of a Prophet is to have a good Memory.
Prophecy is what we all have to go by now.
We learn this by the precepts that Jesus left. He observed that the people were looking outward, and assured them that the kingdom of God cometh not with outward observation; and for this reason, that it was only to be known in man.
Well, with prophecy you got to see what happens.
