Who’s the God of History?
“I declared the former things long ago and they went forth from My mouth, and I proclaimed them. Suddenly I acted, and they came to pass… Therefore I declared them to you long ago, Before they took place I proclaimed them to you” (Isaiah 48:3,5). Here Israel’s God claims to tell history in advance, challenging rival gods and empires. Where does this God make such declarations, how were they shaped in history, and which seem to match the rise and fall of real cities and kingdoms?
