PROPHECY | 預言 |
Nothing is more damaging in the story of New
Testament prophecy as to imagine that the eternal God who stands outside and above time is
bound by the clocks and calendars of men. E. M. Blaiklock 關於新約聖經的預言故事,再沒有比想像站在時間之上的永恆上帝受拘束於我們的時間及日曆還來得有害的。 |
Prophesying is a dangerous
business for those who are not inspired. R. L. Dabney 預言對那些未受啟示的人可是危險的事情。 |
Prophecy takes up approximately one-fourth of all
Scripture. And yet we have soft-pedalled what the Bible says about future
history...A tremendously relevant and gripping part of the Christian [hope] has been left
out. Leighton Ford 預言佔了全本聖經四分之一的篇幅。我們卻不甚明確聖經關於未來歷史的記載...因此大半與基督徒盼望息息相關的重要部分被忽略了。 |
I know that some are always
studying the meaning of the fourth toe of the right foot of some beast in prophecy and
have never used either foot to go and bring men to Christ. G. K. Chesterton 我知道有些人經常研究聖經預言中某些獸的右腳四個指頭的意義,卻從未使用自己的任何一隻腳出去引領人歸向基督。 |
Words of prophecy in the mouth are no infallible
evidence of a principle of grace in the heart. Thomas Granger 口中預言的話語並非心中擁有恩典絕無錯誤的明證。 |
Prophecy is not given to
make men prophets, but as a witness to God when it is fulfilled. Isaac Newton 預言不是為了讓人能說預言,而是為了預言成就為上帝作見證。 |
I would not given much for prophetic intelligence if
it does not begin, continue and end with the person, work and glory of Christ. H. H. Snell 如果預言不是開始、持續、結束於個人、工作及基督的榮耀,我寧捨預言的能力。 |
Prophecy is like the German
sentence - it can be understood only when we have read its last word. Augustus H. Strong 預言就像德文句子 - 只有看到最後一個字才能明瞭全意。 |
