Saturday September 8, 2007 - The Sovereign Lord Jehovah himself has spoken! Who will not prophesy?—Amos 3:8.

Amos 3:8.

Jehovah inspired his servants in Bible times to record many prophecies, which allow us to know in advance what Jehovah has purposed to do. "The first things—here they have come, but new things I am telling out," Jehovah declares. "Before they begin to spring up, I cause you people to hear them." (Isa. 42:9) How privileged God's people are! The prophet Amos assures us: "The Sovereign Lord Jehovah will not do a thing unless he has revealed his confidential matter to his servants the prophets." This advance knowledge brought with it responsibility. Notice the powerful illustration that Amos next uses: "There is a lion that has roared! Who will not be afraid?" (Amos 3:7, 8) Just as a lion's roar provokes an immediate reaction from both man and beast in the vicinity, so such prophets as Amos promptly gave voice to Jehovah's declarations. w 6/1/06 4, 5
