1 | Can God see into the future? | Bible general Archive 4 | rich-s | 222373 | ||
In Samuel 1 2:30 (NIV) it say God said "I promised that your house and your father's house would minister before me forever." Then because of the behavior of Eli's sons, He changes the bargain. My question is, if God knows everything that is going to happen, why would He repeately promise things in the Bible when He knew that He would take them back at some time in the future? If He is all knowing and all seeing, then why make a promise He knows He is going to reneg on in the future? |

Greetings and I hope you enjoy the forum. The first mention of this situation was a general statement and later the full stipulation is brought to the forefront. From the (Bible Knowledge Commentary) 4. THE REJECTION OF THE PRIESTHOOD (2:27-36) 2:27-36. It is no wonder that God rejected the priesthood of Eli and his sons. After reviewing the circumstances of the selection of Eli’s ancestors to be priests of the LORD over Israel (vv. 27-28), an unnamed man of God announced to Eli that his priesthood would end because it had violated the conditions for its ongoing existence (vv. 29-33). Yet the LORD would not terminate the office of priest altogether for He would raise up… a faithful priest (v. 35) whose line of succession (house) would be firmly established and who would minister before His anointed one (i.e., the king) forever. In human terms this was fulfilled when the priesthood was taken from Abiathar, descendant of Aaron’s son Ithamar, and given to Zadok, descendant of Aaron’s son Eleazar (1 Kings 2:27, 35). But in the ultimate sense the “faithful Priest” and “Anointed One” are One and the same, the Lord Jesus Christ. He is both Priest and King (Ps. 110; Heb. 5:6; Rev. 19:16). CDBJ |
