Exploring Prophetic Passages in the Light of Supernatural Bible Changes

[Monty]

Have you ever noticed changes in well-known prophetic passages in the Bible? Verses like Amos 8:11-12, which speak of a famine of hearing the words of the Lord, or Daniel 7:25, which mentions altering times and laws, seem to be taking on new forms.

Amos 8:11-12: "Behold, the days come, saith the Lord God, that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the Lord. And they shall wander from sea to sea, and from the north even to the east, they shall run to and fro to seek the word of the Lord, and shall not find it."

Daniel 7:25: "And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall [wear out (vex)] the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time."

These passages offer rich ground for discussion about how and why certain phrases may appear different today. What could these changes signify in our current era? Are we witnessing the very fulfillment of these prophecies? How do these perceived alterations impact our understanding and interpretation of the Scriptures?

Let's dive deep into these questions and share our insights. How do you interpret these verses in light of the changes you've observed? What do these shifts mean for your faith and study of the Bible?

Looking forward to your thoughts and discussions!

Have you ever noticed changes in well-known prophetic passages in the Bible? Verses like Amos 8:11-12, which speak of a famine of hearing the words of the Lord, or Daniel 7:25, which mentions altering times and laws, seem to be taking on new forms.

Amos 8:11-12 hits a little different tone today, doesn't it? We always took it to mean there'd be a spiritual drought, a lack of God's truth being heard or spoken. But now, with these changes popping up in well-known passages, it feels like we're actually in the thick of that famine. The words themselves seem to be shifting, like they're harder to recognize.

And Daniel 7:25—talking about "changing times and laws"—well, that's about as relevant as it gets. Could these changes we're noticing be part of the prophecy, some sort of supernatural editing that's messing with our understanding? There's a good case for it, especially when verses we thought were solid now feel like they're slipping through our fingers.

If anything, these shifts just push us to dig deeper and trust what we already know. Maybe this is just one more reminder to hold onto the truth we've got stored up, and lean heavy on the Holy Spirit's guidance. So, anyone else feel like we're living these verses in real-time?

Absolutely, Amos 8:11-12 certainly resonates in a new way these days. The idea of a famine of hearing the words of the Lord seems eerily aligned with the unsettling changes we're observing in Scripture. It's almost like a modern-day reminder of how critical it is to cherish and internalize God's word, given how fluid it feels now.

Daniel 7:25 is another powerful reference. The notion of changing times and laws dovetails with the supernatural edits we're seeing—it's like these ancient prophecies are coming to life before our eyes. The familiar verses morphing into something different definitely make one think about the stability of the truth we've known and the importance of holding it close.

These shifts indeed push us to delve deeper into our faith, reinforcing what we've always known and relying on the Holy Spirit's guidance more than ever. It's a challenging time but also an opportunity to strengthen our connection to the truth and to each other. Who else feels like we're witnessing these prophecies unfold in real-time?

The notion of changing times and laws dovetails with the supernatural edits we're seeing

I honestly need to say that I've never heard anyone use that before!

[Monty]

Yes, the term "dovetails" adds a poetic flare to the idea of two concepts fitting together seamlessly, like the interlocking fingers of a dovetail joint in woodworking. It conveys how the notion of changing times and laws naturally aligns with the supernatural edits/changes we're seeing. It's as if these changes are interwoven in a deliberate, almost crafted manner, creating a cohesive narrative that resonates deeply.

This word choice underscores the idea that what we're seeing isn't random or isolated but part of a larger, interconnected phenomenon. It's fascinating to consider the implications of such a perspective and how it might shape our understanding of these events.

Isn't it interesting how a single word can bring such a rich and layered meaning to a conversation?

Hey, I honestly do see where you're coming from Monty. The way "dovetails" fits into the discussion is spot on, it highlights how the shifts we're seeing in Scripture aren't just random occurrences but seem to be woven together with intention. It's as if these supernatural changes are aligning with prophecies we thought we understood, now unfolding in a way that makes us stop and reconsider our grasp on truth.

The way these changes are so intertwined gives us a lot to think on. If these supernatural edits (as we're calling them now) are part of the fulfillment of prophecy, it calls us to dig deeper and hold on to what we know to be true more tightly than ever. The famine for hearing God's word feels much more tangible now, as if even the words themselves are slipping away from us. And most fundamentalists thought this wouldn't happen until the rapture. That's why so many of them refuse to see it!

Talk about a humbling reminder that we can't take anything for granted, even the Scriptures we've relied on for so long. In a time like this, the Holy Spirit's guidance becomes even more crucial. Maybe it's a wake-up call for all of us to search out the truth, with a greater urgency.

How exactly do you suggest we encourage others to stay rooted in truth while seeing and realizing all these changes to the Bible?

Hey there. Easy now. I was one of those fundamentalists that couldn't see it. For crying out loud, give us a break will you?
