Welcome to AN INFINITE MIND, part B.  

A continuation of the "What is Prophecy" series.   

Read by Hector Garcia

What does our Lord do with this knowledge?

Daniel 2: 20–22, it says:  "Daniel answered and said, Blessed be the name of God for ever and ever:  for wisdom and might are his:  And he changeth the times and the seasons:  he removes kings, and setteth up kings: he giveth wisdom unto the wise, and knowledge to them that know understanding: He reveals the deep and secret things: he knoweth what is in the darkness, and the light dwelleth with him."

In Ministry of Healing, page 417, it says:
 “Above the distractions of the earth God sits enthroned; all things are open to His divine survey; and from His great and calm eternity He orders that which His providence sees best.”

In Prophets and Kings, pages 499-500, it says:
 “In the annals of human history, the growth of nations, the rise and fall of empires, appear as if dependent on the will and prowess of man; the shaping of events seems, to a great degree, to be determined by his power, ambition, or caprice.  But in the word of God the curtain is drawn aside,                  and we behold, above, behind, and through all the play and counterplay of human interest and power and passions, the agencies of the All-merciful One, silently, patiently working out the counsels of His own will.         ”
Here is a brief commentary:
A man stands before kings
No crown
No army
No throne
Yet he speaks
And empires tremble
Historians tell us
Wars decide history
Economics shapes nations
But Scripture tells another story
“Blessed be the name of God for ever and ever for wisdom and might are his”
“And the LORD bringeth the counsel of the heathen to nought he makes the devices of the people of none effect”
There is a throne above every throne
A power beyond every power
And behind every decision
There is a Hand
Unseen
Unrushed
Unstoppable
But who sees it
Who understands it
Who dares to speak it
“He reveals the deep and secret things he knoweth what is in the darkness”
“Declaring the end from the beginning My counsel shall stand”
Secrets
Revealed
Not to kings
Not to armies
But to one man
A captive
A servant
A stranger in a foreign land
Yet heaven speaks to him
And what he sees
Changes everything
But why would God reveal such things
Why not let history unfold on its own
Because
Love waits
“Herein is love not that we loved God but that he loved us”
“For as the heaven is high above the earth so great is his mercy”
God delays
Not because He is weak
But because He is patient
Not because He forgets
But because He loves
Every warning
Every sign
Every prophecy
Is mercy
Calling
Waiting
Inviting
But love does not leave us unchanged
“Thou shalt love the LORD thy God with all thine heart”
“Blessed are they that keep his testimonies and that seek him with the whole heart”
Love calls for surrender
Not half
Not part
All
Because divided hearts
Cannot stand
When kingdoms fall
And when that love fills the heart
It does not stay there
“Bear ye one another’s burdens”
“Be ye kind one to another tenderhearted forgiving one another”
Faith becomes visible
Not in words
But in life
In kindness
In sacrifice
In love
And where is all this leading
Listen closely
“The God of heaven shall set up a kingdom which shall never be destroyed”
“Babylon the great is fallen is fallen”
Empires rise
Empires fall
But one kingdom remains
Unshaken
Unbroken
Eternal
And now
The mystery
The man
Standing before kings
Speaking of kingdoms
Revealing secrets
He was not a ruler
He was not a general
He was Daniel
A captive
Who trusted God
A servant
Who saw beyond men
A prophet
Who revealed heaven
And now you know

The truth the Spirit has made known
