The prophet's handbook

to the Lord, but also to reveal the prophets’ source of information. The Lord’s library provides the intelligence they need to prophesy His words to others at the appointed times. That is how and why personal prophecies are biblical. Since the Lord wrote a book on every soul He ever created, there are eternal and temporal plans for each one of us. Those born on earth begin their journey, according to Scripture, in the book of Adam. (See Genesis 5:1.) Upon salvation, a person’s life plan comes from the book of the generation of Christ. (See Matthew 1:1.) The writer of Hebrews understood this because he made reference to it in Hebrews 10:7. Psalm 22 and Psalm 110, in like manner, contain excerpts from the Creator’s eternal books written about the Christ and His generation. Actually, that is what Isaiah meant when he asked the question about who will declare Christ’s generation in Isaiah 53:8. Long before Jesus’ incarnation, Abraham saw the Christ and wrote his vision before His time. Jesus made reference to Abraham’s pre-incarnate revelations of Himself as the Son of God when disputing with the religious leaders of His day in John 8:56. Not only was Abraham a recognized prophet of the Most High God (according to Genesis 20:7), he was privy to the Son of God’s day. Genesis 15– 18 records his viewing the entire plan of salvation for his seed when they had yet to be born. His revelation is referred to in Galatians 3:8, a New Testament book. Even what Daniel received from the mouth of the angel Gabriel was from the eternal Scripture of God. Gabriel called it “the Scripture of truth” (Daniel 10:21). That is why the Apocalypse and all the other prophetic revelations of the Lord could be written in their times. They already existed and were waiting for their designated vessels to be born, live life, and be cultivated enough to pen the next body of revelation the Lord had for this world. Scripture tells us each generation has a revelation to divulge because the Lord called His generations from the beginning and formed them for His various works and assignments in their times. Read Isaiah 41:4. The Generations of Adam Adam’s generations are many, as the Bible uses the plural form of the word in relation to his offspring. Apparently, Scripture’s use of the word generations refers to his lineage because they keep dying out. Christ’s offspring, in comparison, is one continuous world-without-end generation. It is singular because there is one Savior of mankind and only one way to live in Him, and He and His seed live forever. Eternal life requires an eternal plan to cover every inch of a person’s everlasting existence. Therefore, the Lord precedes our destinies
