Let's Get Real - Scripture Day 336
February 29, 2016
When people deny God’s word, sin and lawlessness are embraced...
"Where there is no prophetic vision the people cast off restraint, but blessed is he who keeps the law."
Proverbs 29:18 ESV
RANDY: Often this passage gets misinterpreted, because we think that "prophetic vision" is referencing future forcasting. In reality, Biblically speaking, words of prophecy are just speaking words from God. Since scripture in the Bible is all from God, anytime scripture is proclaimed, it is by definition prophetic.
Jesus himself spent most of his ministry quoting Deuteronomy and Leviticus to people. There as very little futuristic prophecy in Jesus ministry, though there was some. Mostly, he just told people to keep God's commandments in principle and spirit, not just the letter of the law.
Today we see sin and a desire to cast off the 10 Commandments all around us, because as a nation we are no longer willing to listen to prophetic vision. We would rather hear from a celebrity rather than from God.
