A Prophet Walked Among Us
I have been a student of the Bible for more than thirty years and I still find it fascinating how God uses people, places, and things to bring about His plans for the future.
I am further encouraged when on the few occasions He shows us how great He is when things prophesied come to past in our lifetime and we recognize it.
During my quest for truth as a younger man, I read a book titled World Bible which is about the top eight great sacred scriptures of the world which are Hindu, Buddhist, Confucianist, Judeo-Christian, Taoist, Zoroastrian and Mohammedan.
Upon the conclusion of my study, one thing I noticed that was distinctly different from all the other sacred scriptures were the many predictions or prophecies that were in the Judeo-Christian scriptures.
More importantly there were many prophecies that had come to pass in the Old and New Testaments compared to practically no accurate predictions in the other sacred scriptures.
Fifteen years later, I wrote a book titled God's Great Wisdom which is a Chronological synopsis of the Old Testament harmonized with the four Gospels in poetic genre.
My favorite section of the book is the "Gospel" which contains over forty prophecies of the Messiah from the Old Testament applied to real situations in the life of Jesus Christ.
Well, today we are in the midst of experiencing prophecy that was spoken some forty years ago by one who has not yet been recognized as a modern day prophet and his name is Rev.
Dr.
Martin Luther King Jr.
How many times over the past forty years have you heard the "I Have A Dream" and "I See the Promised Land" speeches and today we are witnessing the fulfillment of his prophetic words with the election of an African American to the office of President of the United States and the inauguration happens the day after we celebrate MLK's birthday, though his actual birthday was on the 15th.
Can you see the connection? The bible describes a prophet as a man of God who says something and it comes to pass.
Webster defines a prophet as "one who foretells future events.
" If you still don't get it read these scriptures from a prophet and think about the "I Have A Dream" and "I See the Promised Land" speeches.
(Watch them in the video section of this website).
"Stop and wonder [at this prophecy, if you choose, whether you understand it or not; soon you will witness the actual event] and be confounded [reluctantly]! Blind yourselves [now, if you choose; take your pleasure] and then be blinded [at the actual occurrence].
They are drunk, but not from wine; they stagger, but not from strong drink [but from spiritual stupor].
For the Lord has poured out on you the spirit of deep sleep.
And He has closed your eyes, the prophets; and your heads, the seers, He has covered and muffled.
And the vision of all this has become for you like the words of a book that is sealed.
When men give it to one who can read, saying, Read this, I pray you, he says, I cannot, for it is sealed.
And when the book is given to him who is not learned, saying, Read this, I pray you, he says, I cannot read.
And in that day shall the deaf hear the words of the book, and out of obscurity and gloom and darkness the eyes of the blind shall see.
" Is.
29: 9,10,11,12 & 18.
(Amplified Bible) "Well, I don't know what will happen now.
We've got some difficult days ahead.
But it doesn't matter with me now.
Because I've been to the mountaintop.
And I don't mind.
Like anybody, I would like to live a long life.
Longevity has its place.
But I'm not concerned about that now.
I just want to do God's will.
And He's allowed me to go up to the mountain.
And I've looked over.
And I've seen the promised land.
I may not get there with you.
But I want you to know tonight, that we, as a people will get to the promised land.
And I'm happy, tonight.
I'm not worried about anything.
I'm not fearing any man.
Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord.
" (From the I See the Promise Land/ Mountaintop speech) A prophet walked among us so let us rejoice at what the Lord has done and allowed us to see! And yet, there are those who will not see! To obtain your free copy of God's Great Wisdom visit www.
