Notes
Our eyes may deceive us, and our ears may fail to correctly understand, but the prophetic word is infallible and will surely be fulfilled. It is more certain than the seeing of the eyes, or the hearing of the ears, for it can not fail. Prophecy shines into a dark place, throwing light upon the future.
