Lesson Theme: The Object Lesson of the Cursed Fig Tree
What is the difference between a Miracle and a Prophecy?
- BOTH are supernatural acts of God, right?
- Both are in accordance to the Sovereign Will of God
- Both are in complete harmony with His expressed Character
- Both bring honor and glory to God.
Both bring God a measure of pleasure.
Could it be that the only difference between the two is the viewpoint by which we observe God’s Hand at work? Miracles are observed in the present. Prophecy is most often realized far after the fact.
Sometimes we read the phrase, “And it came to pass” and interpret it as, “this is what happened next.”
Note: No PowerPoint lesson today. Let’s just use our Bibles and make some notes in the margins.
The Widow and the Oil – Lesson
“Remember the former things of old: for I am God, and there is non else; I am God, and there is none like me, Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure:”
— Isaiah 46:9-10
