Prophecy is Sure.
We have also a more sure word of prophecy, whereunto ye do well that
ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place. (2 Peter
1 : 19.)
Prophecy is Not Sure.
At what instant I shall speak concerning a nation, and concerning
a kingdom, to pluck up, and to pull down, and to destroy it; if
that nation against whom I have pronounced, turn from their evil, I
will repent of the evil that I thought to do unto them. And at what
instant I shall speak concerning a nation and concerning a kingdom,
to build and to plant it; if it do evil in my sight, that it obey
not my voice, then I will repent of the good wherewith I said I would
benefit them. (Jer. 18 : 7-10.)
The prophets prophesy falsely, and the priests bear rule by their
means.... From the prophet even unto the priest every one dealeth
falsely. (Jer. 5 : 31, and 6 : 13.)
Man's Life was to be One Hundred and Twenty Years.
