Bible Prophecy and Inspiration

We’re going to finish up on the truth doesn’t change.

Who is the truth?  God and Jesus are the truth as we have read the last couple of days.

I want to write on one of the most important promises that God has made that hasn’t changed and yet many in the church want to think He has.

Psalm 33:11- ¹¹ But the plans of the LORD stand firm forever, the purposes of his heart through all generations.

God doesn’t believe in replacement theology.  God didn’t make a plan to Israel only to change His mind.  He is faithful and we can count on Him to keep His word.

Malachi 3:6 – ⁶ “I the LORD do not change. So you, O descendants of Jacob, are not destroyed.

In the last days God told Ezekiel that His promise would be fulfilled to Israel.

Ezekiel 37:21-23 – ²¹ and say to them, ‘This is what the Sovereign LORD says: I will take the Israelites out of the nations where they have gone. I will gather them from all around and bring them back into their own land. ²² I will make them one nation in the land, on the mountains of Israel. There will be one king over all of them and they will never again be two nations or be divided into two kingdoms. ²³ They will no longer defile themselves with their idols and vile images or with any of their offenses, for I will save them from all their sinful backsliding, and I will cleanse them. They will be my people, and I will be their God.

God doesn’t change.  Man tries to change God.  God’s promises are truth and truth doesn’t change.

We’re sticking with a theme of Truth doesn’t change.

Who is the Truth?

John 14:6- ⁶ Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.

So now the question is does the Truth change?

Hebrews 13:8 – ⁸ Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.

Jesus according to scripture doesn’t change.  We read yesterday that God doesn’t change, so not surprisingly that Jesus doesn’t change either.

John 10:30- ³⁰ I and the Father are one.”

Political correctness is always changing.  What’s acceptable today won’t be tomorrow.  Why?  Because man is always changing his mind on what’s right or wrong.

Tomorrow we will finish up on the fact God and Truth do not change.

I’m going to do a few short posts using scripture that our God does not change when it comes to truth.  If someone repents such as Nineveh did he will hold off His wrath, but that was a condition of the warning from Jonah in the first place.

However God is not like man that he is wishy-washy or changes His mind or His truth.

Numbers 23:19 – ¹⁹ God is not a man, that he should lie, nor a son of man, that he should change his mind.  Does he speak and then not act?  Does he promise and not fulfill?

One of the reasons I say this is because there are certain religions that will change their so called truths as time goes on.  If something isn’t viewed as politically correct a modern day prophet suddenly has a revelation and it changes it all.  However, does God say in His Word that it works that way?

1 Samuel 15:29 – ²⁹ He who is the Glory of Israel does not lie or change his mind; for he is not a man, that he should change his mind.”

Pretty much another identical verse.  God doesn’t change His mind on His promises.  That’s one of the reasons we can trust Him.  We can take Him at His Word.

If God changed things around 180 degrees and something meant the opposite of what it did before, how would you know He wasn’t going to do it again?  Yet that happens today in the name of convenience for people.

Tomorrow we’ll carry on with this theme.
