Isaiah 48:4

THE PROBABILITY AND USE OF INSPIRED PREDICTIONS

Isaiah 48:3. I have declared the former things, &c.

I. Is it quite plain that any being that is distinguished above others must be exalted, either by knowledge or by power, or by both? Hence God is known in this way, and chiefly by knowledge.
II. The uses of inspired predictions.

1. Study the book that contains them.
2. Watch God’s providence, and see how it fulfils His word.
3. Learn from hence to admire and adore the omniscience and faithfulness of God.
4. Expect all that God has predicted, both for time and eternity.—Dr. J. Bennett. Biblical Museum, in loco.
