Trustworthy Prophetic
Richard Newton Sherrer 1951 (Easton)
We follow not clever fables,
When made known about the power,
Might from Jesus Christ enables,
Hidden in His coming hour.
For we witnessed His majesty,
Receiving glory and honor;
Splendid glory in honesty,
To worship Him as a fawner.
The Father in being well pleased,
Hearing His voice come from Heaven;
And anxiety has been eased,
From the strife that had been given.
We were present on the mountain,
The sacred ground that was holy;
From the rock had flowed a fountain,
Water was flowing down slowly.
For we have the prophetic word,
That we are paying attention;
Because of all that we have heard,
Behooves us in comprehension.
For a lamp shines in a dark place,
Till the dawning of the new day;
The morning star shining its grace,
On the hearts of those who obey.
That no prophecy of Scripture,
Comes from an interpretation;
But will know upon the rapture,
At the time of tribulation.
No prophecy ever produced,
Solely upon the will of man;
Rather that God introduced,
Through His Spirit about His plan.
