known about this future ruler.
But God knows!
Countless other examples of fulfilled
prophecy could be given, including
all of the prophecies about the Lord
Jesus Christ's first coming which
were literally fulfilled. For example,
Micah, writing 700 years before
His birth, predicted that God's
King would be born in an
insignificant town called Bethlehem
(Micah 5:2)! This would be
analogous to a man living 200 years
before Columbus predicting in what
town President Bush would be born!
The Scriptures contain predictions of
future events uttered long before
they transpired, events that no
mere human sagacity or foresight
could have anticipated. These
predictions are so detailed, minute,
and specific as to exclude the
possibility that they were mere
guesses. The only sane explanation
for them is that the predictions came
from God who knows all future
events and who is never wrong in
His predictions.
The God Who Knows
All Future Events
God knew all about the future of
this world even before He created
the earth. God has a perfect plan for
this world and God is carrying out
His plan. Will God bring to pass
what He has purposed for this world
(Isaiah 46:11 )? We might be
surprised by something we hear on
the news. For example we might be
surprised to hear that the President
was shot. But would God be
surprised by this? Why not? We
might be surprised to learn that two
countries have decided to go to war
with each other. Would this come
as a surprise to God?
The Lord knows all about the
future. But how do we learn about
the future? Does God keep it a
secret and not tell anyone? No, it is
not a big secret. God has told us
about the future, using men who
are called PROPHETS.

In our devotions, Esther and I read Revelation
5:11: "And I beheld, and I heard the voice of
many angels round about the throne and the
beasts and the elders: and the number of them
was ten thousand times ten thousand, and
thousands of thousands." My friend, that is 100
million plus thousands and thousands of angels
crying out at once. Reading on, it tells us that
every being and creature in heaven, on the earth,
and beneath the earth will join in during this
time of worship - you and I will be there, too.
Never before in the history of creation has there
been such worship and crying out to Jesus Christ
as we will experience at that moment - this
apparently
includes the
ungodly and
even demonic
realm. Every
knee will bow
and
every
tongue will
confess that
Jesus is Lord (Philippians 2:10-11). The truth is,
there will be no atheists throughout eternity. No,
not even one! —Joe Keim
