Prophecy never came simply because a prophet wanted it to. Instead, the Holy Spirit guided the prophets as they spoke. So, although prophets are human, prophecy comes from God.

因为预言从来没有出于人意的，乃是人被圣灵感动，说出神的话来。

因为预言从来没有出于人意的，而是人被圣灵感动说出上帝的话来。

因为预言从来没有出于人意的，而是人被圣灵感动说出神的话来。

因为预言绝非出于人的意思，都是人受了圣灵的感动，讲出上帝的信息。

因为预言不是出于人意的，而是人受圣灵的感动，说出从神而来的话。

因为预言从来不是藉着人的意思传来的，而是人受圣灵的感动说出从神而来的话。

因為預言從來沒有出於人意的，乃是人被聖靈感動，說出神的話來。

因為預言從來沒有出於人意的，而是人被聖靈感動說出上帝的話來。

因為預言從來沒有出於人意的，而是人被聖靈感動說出神的話來。

因為預言絕非出於人的意思，都是人受了聖靈的感動，講出上帝的信息。

因為預言不是出於人意的，而是人受聖靈的感動，說出從神而來的話。

神言傳講的話從來都不是人意傳的，乃是被聖靈傳的，是人由上帝說出來的。

因為預言從來不是藉著人的意思傳來的，而是人受聖靈的感動說出從神而來的話。

蓋預言非由人意而來、乃感於聖神者、由上帝而言也、

以古預言、原非臆說、乃上帝聖人、感於聖神而言之、

蓋預言素非由人意而來、乃天主所選之聖人、感於聖神而言之者、

蓋歷來豫言、本非出人私智、乃古人感於聖神、而為天主之舌人耳。

For prophecy never had its origin in the human will, but prophets, though human, spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit.

For no prophecy was ever produced by the will of man, but men spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit.

You have known the Holy Scriptures ever since you were a little child. They are able to teach you how to be saved by believing in Christ Jesus.God has breathed life into all Scripture. It is useful for teaching us what is true. It is useful for correcting our mistakes. It is useful for making our lives whole again. It is useful for training us to do what is right.By using Scripture, the servant of God can be completely prepared to do every good thing.

They wanted to find out when and how this salvation would come. The Spirit of Christ in them was telling them about the sufferings of the Messiah. These were his sufferings that were going to come. The Spirit of Christ was also telling them about the glory that would follow.

Long ago holy prophets said he would do it.

Peter said,“ Brothers and sisters, a long time ago the Holy Spirit spoke through David. He spoke about Judas Iscariot. What the Scripture said would happen had to come true. Judas was the guide for the men who arrested Jesus.

“ The Spirit of the Lord spoke through me. I spoke his word with my tongue.

But God had given a promise through all the prophets. And this is how he has made his promise come true. He said that his Messiah would suffer.

The Holy Spirit also speaks to us about this. First he says,

They didn’t agree with one another. They began to leave after Paul had made a final statement. He said,“ The Holy Spirit was right when he spoke to your people long ago. Through Isaiah the prophet the Spirit said,

When I heard this, I fell at his feet to worship him. But he said to me,“ Don’t do that! I serve God, just as you do. I am God’s servant, just like believers who hold firmly to what Jesus has taught. Worship God! The Spirit of prophecy tells the truth about Jesus.”

The Holy Spirit spoke through David himself. David said,“‘ The Lord said to my Lord,“ Sit at my right hand until I put your enemies under your control.” ’( Psalm 110:1)

Here is what the Holy Spirit was showing us. He was telling us that God had not yet clearly shown the way into the Most Holy Room. It would not be clearly shown as long as the first holy tent was still being used.

Then Moses said,“ What is about to happen wasn’t my idea. The Lord has sent me to do everything I’m doing. Here is how you will know I’m telling you the truth.

The woman said to Elijah,“ You are a man of God. What do you have against me? Did you come to bring my sin out into the open? Did you come to kill my son?”

A man of God went from Judah to Bethel. He had received a message from the Lord. He arrived in Bethel just as Jeroboam was standing by the altar to offer a sacrifice.

The people of Judah approached Joshua at Gilgal. Caleb, the son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite, spoke to Joshua. He said,“ You know what the Lord said to Moses, the man of God. He spoke to him at Kadesh Barnea about you and me.

The Holy Spirit says,“ Listen to his voice today.

Then the woman said to Elijah,“ Now I know that you are a man of God. I know that the message you have brought from the Lord is true.”

Those who see visions will be put to shame. Those who try to figure out what is going to happen will be dishonored. All of them will cover their faces. I will not answer them.”

The servant of the man of God got up the next morning. He went out early. He saw that an army with horses and chariots had surrounded the city.“ Oh no, my master!” the servant said.“ What can we do?”

Solomon followed the orders his father David had given him. He appointed the groups of priests for their duties. He appointed the Levites to lead the people in praising the Lord. They also helped the priests do their required tasks each day. Solomon appointed the groups of men who guarded all the gates. That’s what David, the man of God, had ordered.

The king of Israel checked on the place the man of God had told him about. Time after time Elisha warned the king. So the king was on guard in those places.

The sons of Moses, the man of God, were counted as part of the tribe of Levi.

The woman said to her husband,“ That man often comes by here. I know that he is a holy man of God.

Here is the blessing that Moses, the man of God, gave to the Israelites before he died.

She went and told the man of God about it. He said,“ Go and sell the oil. Pay what you owe. You and your sons can live on what is left.”

She sent for her husband. She said,“ Please send me one of the servants and a donkey. Then I can go quickly to the man of God and return.”
