Ezekiel 12:21-28
[SUP]
21 [/SUP]Then the word of the Lord came to me, saying, [SUP]
22 [/SUP]“Son of man, what is this proverb you
people have concerning the land of Israel, saying, ‘The days are long and every vision fails’? [SUP]
23 [/SUP]Therefore say to them, ‘
Thus says the Lord God, “
I will make this proverb cease so that they will no longer use it as a proverb in Israel.” But tell them, “
The days draw near as well as the fulfillment of every vision. [SUP]
24 [/SUP]For
there will no longer be any false vision or flattering divination within the house of Israel. [SUP]
25 [/SUP]For
I the Lord will speak, and whatever word I speak will be performed.
It will no longer be delayed, for in your days, O rebellious house, I will speak the word and perform it,” declares the Lord God.’”
[SUP]
26 [/SUP]Furthermore, the word of the Lord came to me, saying, [SUP]
27 [/SUP]“Son of man, behold, the house of Israel is saying, ‘The vision that he sees is for many years
from now, and he prophesies of times far off.’
[SUP]
28 [/SUP]Therefore say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord God, “None of My words will be delayed any longer. Whatever word I speak will be performed,”’” declares the Lord God.
Ezekiel 33:33
So when it comes to pass—as surely it will—then they will know that a prophet has been in their midst.”
John 7:37-44
[SUP]
37 [/SUP]Now on the last day, the great
day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried out, saying, “If anyone is thirsty, let him come to Me and drink. [SUP]
38 [/SUP]He who believes in Me, as the Scripture said, ‘From his innermost being will flow rivers of living water.’” [SUP]
39 [/SUP]But this He spoke of the Spirit, whom those who believed in Him were to receive; for the Spirit was not yet
given, because Jesus was not yet glorified.
[SUP]
40 [/SUP]
Some of the people therefore, when they heard these words, were saying, “
This certainly is the Prophet.” [SUP]
41 [/SUP]Others were saying, “
This is the Christ.” Still others were saying, “Surely the Christ is not going to come from Galilee, is He? [SUP]
42 [/SUP]Has not the Scripture said that the Christ comes from the descendants of David, and from Bethlehem, the village where David was?” [SUP]
43 [/SUP]So a division occurred in the crowd because of Him.
[SUP]44 [/SUP]Some of them wanted to seize Him, but no one laid hands on Him.
John 13:19
From now on I am telling you before it comes to pass, so that when it does occur, you may believe that I am He.
