1 | Where are today's visions? | Prov 29:18 | gbennett76 | 94488 | ||
Where are today's visions? If they have ceased as some have claimed than are we unrestrained and full of lawlessness. Perhaps if we had a prophet to guide us with visions and revelations(2Cor. 12:1) the church would surely have more unity. |

Hello gbennett76, You are misinterpreting the verse. The point being made is that where God has revealed Himself, there is a rule of law that must be followed. Without the rule of law via revelation, there is lawlessness. This does not mean we need continued revelations, only obedience to that which we have. Steve |

Without a vision,what gets us up in the morning as a christian,or what gets us to read, go to church or pray, what makes us look eachnight at the eastern sky to see if Jesus is comming, a vision, so without a vision most of us would cast off restraint and forget about what weve been taught.The authority of the Bible comes from God Dilevered to man by the redemptive work of Jesus,Inspired by God and Taught by the Holy Ghost.Churches today need to renew their vision by a Rema word from God a fresh word. As a minister Ive been in Churches where the infighting was so strong that they couldnt hear a vision or see a miracle.Most of the visions are in scripture others come from phrophcy, which is still around.A thought.

Let no one defraud you by acting as an umpire and declaring you unworthy and disqualifying you for the prize, insisting on self-abasement and worship of angels, taking his stand on VISIONS [HE CLAIMS] HE HAS SEEN, vainly puffed up by his sensuous notions and inflated by his unspiritual thoughts and fleshly conceit, AMPLIFIED Colossians 2:18 (Emphasis added.) In Proverbs 29:18 the word "vision" does not mean something seen in a dream, trance, or ecstasy. Nor does it refer to individual goals that are formed. As the following will show, the word "vision" here refers to divine communication to prophets, i.e. the Word of the Lord. When there is no vision[57] the people cast off restraint, but the one who keeps the law,[59] blessed is he! Prov 29:18 New English Translation '57 sn The word "vision" (from the Hebrew verb hzj [jzh, "to see"]) refers to divine communication to prophets (as in 1 Sam 3:1) and not to individual goals that are formed...' '59sn The law here refers to scripture, the concrete form of revelation. So the two halves of the verse provide the contrast: when there is no revelation there is chaos, but those who keep the revelation find blessing.' ____________________ AMPLIFIED Proverbs 29:18 Where there is no vision [no redemptive revelation of God], the people perish; but he who keeps the law [of God, which includes that of man]--blessed (happy, fortunate, and enviable) is he. [I Sam. 3:1; Amos 8:11, 12.] 1 Samuel 3:1 (ESV) Now the young man Samuel was ministering to the Lord under Eli. And the word of the Lord was rare in those days; there was no frequent vision. Amos 8:11-12 (ESV) "Behold, the days are coming," declares the Lord God, "when I will send a famine on the land- not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the Lord. [12] They shall wander from sea to sea, and from north to east; they shall run to and fro, to seek the word of the Lord, but they shall not find it. --Radioman2 |
