The Call to Write

  Sabbath School The Gift of Prophecy  The Prophetic Writings   Lesson 6 - Sunday God’s Word: Written for Every Generation Key Scripture: Exodus 17:14 (NKJV) “Then the LORD said to Moses, ‘Write this for a memorial in the book and recount it in the hearing of Joshua, that I will utterly blot out the remembrance of Amalek from under heaven.’” God Wants His Words to Be Preserved Have you ever received advice or heard something important that you wished you could remember forever? Sometimes words spoken to us can make a lasting difference, but as time passes, memories fade. God understood this long before people had printing presses, computers, or even books as we know them today. He knew that His messages needed to be preserved so future generations could learn about His character, His promises, and His plan of salvation. In Exodus 17:14, we find one of the earliest explicit commands in Scripture for God’s message to be written down. After Israel’s battle with the Amal...

Literary Genres and Styles

  Sabbath School The Gift of Prophecy  The Prophetic Writings   Lesson 6 - Monday Understanding the Different Literary Styles of the Bible Key Scripture: Isaiah 13:1 (NKJV) “The burden against Babylon which Isaiah the son of Amoz saw.” God Speaks Through Many Forms of Writing When we read the Bible, we discover that God does not communicate in just one way. Some passages tell us what happened in history. Others contain songs of praise, personal letters, parables, prophetic visions, or warnings to God's people. Understanding these different forms of writing can help us appreciate Scripture more deeply and understand the messages God wants us to receive. Isaiah 13:1 introduces a message against Babylon by calling it a “burden.” Some Bible translations use the word oracle. This refers to a message or revelation given by God through His prophet. Although the message included a warning of judgment, it also revealed that God was aware of the actions of nations and that hum...

General and Special Revelation

  Sabbath School The Gift of Prophecy  Revelation and Inspiration  Lesson 5 - Sunday God Wants to Speak to Us Bible Reading: Hebrews 1:1–2 Throughout history, God has continually reached out to humanity. He has spoken through His prophets, revealed Himself through creation, and ultimately made Himself known through His Son, Jesus Christ. But why is God so interested in speaking to us? The answer is found in His love. He created us, desires a relationship with us, and wants us to understand His character, His will, and His wonderful plan to save us from sin. Hebrews 1:1–2 tells us that God spoke in the past through the prophets in various ways, but in these last days He has spoken to us through His Son. The prophets delivered messages from God that helped people understand His purposes, recognize their need for repentance, and look forward to the coming Messiah. Jesus, however, revealed God in a unique and complete way. Through His words, His actions, His compassion, and u...
