PROPHECY: Uriah Smith on it's Purpose

 

"That prophecy is a

part of God’s revelation to man;

* that it is included in that Scripture which is profitable for instruction (All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, 2 Timothy 3:16);
* that it is designed for us and our children (The secret things belong unto the LORD our God: but those things which are revealed belong unto us and to our children for ever,...Deuteronomy. 29:29);
* that so far from being enshrouded in impenetrable mystery, it is that which especially constitutes the word of God a lamp to our feet and a light in our path (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, until the day dawn, 2 Peter 1:19);
 * that a blessing is pronounced upon those who study it (Blessed is he that readeth, and they that hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written therein: for the time is at hand. Revelation 1:3); and that, consequently,

it is to be understood
by the people of God sufficiently to show them 
1) their position in the world’s history and
2) the special duties required at their hands."
