41. Anyone who receives a prophet because he is a prophet will receive a prophet's reward, and anyone who receives a righteous man because he is a righteous man will receive a righteous man's reward.
42. And if anyone gives even a cup of cold water to one of these little ones because he is my disciple, I tell you the truth, he will certainly not lose his reward."
Matt.10.
Well , I am one who have received a prophet , and by God's grace , have given to him a cup of cold water.
I met a man who belongs to that "one" :
2. "Who has stirred up one from the east,
calling him in righteousness to his service ?
He hands nations over to him
and subdues kings before him.
He turns them to dust with his sword,
to windblown chaff with his bow.
3. He pursues them and moves on unscathed,
by a path his feet have not traveled before.
25. "I have stirred up one from the north, and he comes—
one from the rising sun who calls on my name.
He treads on rulers as if they were mortar,
as if he were a potter treading the clay.
Isaiah 41.
6. "I, the LORD, have called you in righteousness;
I will take hold of your hand.
I will keep you and will make you
to be a covenant for the people
and a light for the Gentiles,
7. to open eyes that are blind,
to free captives from prison
and to release from the dungeon those who sit in darkness.
18. "Hear, you deaf;
look, you blind, and see!
19. Who is blind but my servant,
and deaf like the messenger I send?
Who is blind like the one committed to me,
blind like the servant of the LORD ?
20 . You have seen many things, but have paid no attention;
your ears are open, but you hear nothing."
21. It pleased the LORD
for the sake of his righteousness
to make his law great and glorious.
Isaiah 42.
1. But now, this is what the LORD says—
he who created you, O Jacob,
he who formed you, O Israel:
"Fear not, for I have redeemed you;
I have summoned you by name; you are mine.
2. When you pass through the waters,
I will be with you;
and when you pass through the rivers,
they will not sweep over you.
When you walk through the fire,
you will not be burned;
the flames will not set you ablaze.
3. For I am the LORD, your God,
the Holy One of Israel, your Savior;
I give Egypt for your ransom,
Cush and Seba in your stead.
4. Since you are precious and honored in my sight,
and because I love you,
I will give men in exchange for you,
and people in exchange for your life.
5. Do not be afraid, for I am with you; I will bring your children from the east
and gather you from the west.
6. I will say to the north, 'Give them up!'
and to the south, 'Do not hold them back.'
Bring my sons from afar
and my daughters from the ends of the earth-
7. everyone who is called by my name,
whom I created for my glory,
whom I formed and made."
Isaiah 43.
1. "This is what the LORD says to his anointed,
to Cyrus, whose right hand I take hold of
to subdue nations before him
and to strip kings of their armor,
to open doors before him
so that gates will not be shut:
2. I will go before you
and will level the mountains ;
I will break down gates of bronze
and cut through bars of iron.
3. I will give you the treasures of darkness,
riches stored in secret places,
so that you may know that I am the LORD,
the God of Israel, who summons you by name.
4. For the sake of Jacob my servant,
of Israel my chosen,
I summon you by name
and bestow on you a title of honor,
though you do not acknowledge me.
5. I am the LORD, and there is no other;
apart from me there is no God.
I will strengthen you,
though you have not acknowledged me,
13. I will raise up Cyrus in my righteousness:
I will make all his ways straight.
He will rebuild my city
and set my exiles free,
but not for a price or reward,
says the LORD Almighty."
Rus, would you clarify please? Your quote of verses are so vague. Who are you insinuating?
some of the PC did that to me too. Why are you being so vague?
Sorry , but....
if the Bible I quoted is ... "so vague ", then I am , too .
Are you saying I am ungrateful for prophet and that prophet is you? Is that what you are insinuating?
In this chaotic Spiritual circumstance, we dont need prophets because we have the Bible. I will not follow any man. The Bible is more than good enough for me to follow. There are too many false prophets.
