GOD is SPIRIT
*******
So, to the question again: How does prophecy work? When one’s thought is so spiritual that it is living in “eternal life” (Romans 2:7), in “the mind of the Spirit” (Romans 8:27), in the forever NOW, one sees things as God sees them. Then when that one translates the language of Spirit into a form that humans can understand, the ideas appear to be on a timeline of past, present, and future. If one is able to trace a prophecy written for human comprehension back in the eternal NOW, into the language of the Spirit, one should not expect to take what one sees in the infinite NOW and translate it back into the original prophecy. Remember, what the original prophet of that prophecy may have seen, someone else may not. Each prophet seems to see something different in the infinite NOW—a different aspect, even on the same topic. Each unique individual has a unique experience with the Spirit and therefore has a unique relationship with Spirit. And also remember that Paul wrote “some” are given the gift of prophecy (Ephesians 4:11).
