預知未來—-箴言27:1［不要為明日自誇, 因為一日要生何事, 你尚且不能知道.］雅各書4:14-16［其實明天如何, 你們還不知道. 你們的生命是甚麼呢？你們原來是一片雲霧, 出現少時就不見了. 你們只當説：主若願意, 我們就可以活著, 也可以做這事, 或做那事. 現今你們竟以張狂誇口, 凡這樣誇口都是惡的. 人若知道行善, 卻不去行, 這就是他的罪了.］人人都會想到未來, 想知道未來會怎樣. 人與生俱來就渴望過安穩富足的生活, 希望對未來有所把握. 許多所謂專家應運而生, 試圖預測未來, 有時他們的預測頗為準確, 但大多數都錯了. 如果我們依賴所謂專家的預測, 做為行事的依據, 基本上是一種賭博, 後果十分危險. 另一方面, 上帝能夠準確地預告未來的事. 以賽亞書46:11［從起初就指明末後的事, 在古時就説出未來的事.］西番亞書2:13［耶和華必伸手攻擊北方, 毀滅亞述, 使尼尼微荒, 又乾旱如曠野.］在上述預言15年後, 這個預言果真應驗. 尼尼微這個城佔地約500平方公里. 按理説征服者應該會保全和繼續利用這個城, 但他們卻把這個城摧毀了. 試問, 有任何政治分析家能説出這麼準確的預言嗎？ 但以理書8:22［至於那折斷了的角, 在其根上長出四角. 這四角就是四國, 必從這國裏興起來, 只是權勢都不及他.］但以理死後200多年, 亞歷山大成為希臘王, 他打敗了米底亞—波斯, 並把希臘帝國的版圖, 擴展至現今巴基斯坦的印度河, 可是亞歷山大王於32歲那年突然去逝, 帝國被他手下四位將軍瓜分. 試問, 誰能準確預言兩百年後一個帝國會一分為四. 上述兩個例子可以說明, 上帝能準確地預告未來, 而且百無一誤. 人所作的預測往往根他們有限的知識, 透過科學研究, 對現有數撩, 趨勢進行分析, 甚至是根據超自然趕應推斷出來的. 作出預測後, 他們通常只能靜觀其變. 上帝跟人截然不同, 他什麼都知道, 也完全了解大自然和人類的思想行為模式. 上帝能控制和改變事態發展, 使事情像他預告的那樣發生. 以賽亞書55:11［我口中所説的話也必如此, 決不突然返回. 卻要成就我所喜悅的, 在我發它去成就的事上, 必然亨通.］因此深切研究並遵行上帝的話語/, 我們才能真正知所進退, 趨吉避凶. 詩篇37:3［你當倚靠耶和華而行善, 住在地上, 以他的信實為糧. 又當以耶和華為樂, 他就將你心裏所求的賜給你.］
Predicting the future – Proverbs 27:1 [Do not boast about tomorrow, for you do not know what will happen in one day.] James 4:14-16 [But you do not know what tomorrow will bring. Your life is what? You were like a cloud that appeared for a short time and then disappeared. You should only say: If the Lord wills, we can live, and we can do this or that. Now you are boasting arrogantly, and all such boasting is evil. If a person knows to do good but does not do it, it is his sin.] Everyone will think about the future and wonder what will happen in the future. People are born with the desire to live a stable and prosperous life and hope to have something for the future. Grasp. Many so-called experts have emerged to try to predict the future. Sometimes their predictions are quite accurate, but most of them are wrong. If we rely on the predictions of so-called experts as the basis for our actions, it is basically a gamble with consequences. Very dangerous. On the other hand, God can accurately foretell future events. Isaiah 46:11 [Foretelling the end from the beginning, speaking of things to come in ancient times.] Zephaniah 2:13 [The Lord will stretch out his hand to attack the north and destroy Assyria, making Nineveh desolate and dry like a wilderness.] Fifteen years after the above prophecy, this prophecy came true. The city of Nineveh covers an area of about 500 square kilometers. It stands to reason that the conquest The rebels should have preserved and continued to use the city, but they destroyed it instead. Can any political analyst make such an accurate prediction? Daniel 8:22 [As for the broken horn, four horns grew out of its root. These four horns are the four kingdoms, and out of them will arise, but they will not be as powerful as him.] More than 200 years after Daniel’s death, Alexander became the king of Greece. He defeated Medo-Persia and expanded the territory of the Greek Empire to the Indus River in present-day Pakistan. However, King Alexander died suddenly at the age of 32, and the empire was divided among his four generals. I would like to ask, who can accurately predict that an empire will be divided into four in two hundred years. The above two examples can illustrate that God can accurately predict the future, and there is no mistake. The predictions made by people are often based on their limited knowledge, through Scientific research, analysis of existing data, trends, and even inferences based on supernatural events. After making predictions, they usually can only wait and see. God is completely different from humans. He knows everything and fully understands nature. and human thought and behavior patterns. God can control and change the course of events to make things happen as He has foretold. Isaiah 55:11 [So shall the words of my mouth be; they shall not suddenly return; but they shall be my fulfillment. Everything that pleases me will prosper in the things for which I have sent it.] Therefore, by studying God’s word deeply and obeying it, we can truly know where to go and how to seek good fortune and avoid evil. Psalm 37:3 [Trust in the Lord and Do good and dwell on the earth, and feed on his faithfulness. Delight yourself in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart.]
