<div class="SSN_title">"GOD HAS SPOKEN"</div>
<div class="SSN_intro">Intro: Many have claimed divine inspiration. "The Lord showed me, the Lord told me." If the infinite God has spoken to finite man, we ought to take heed.</div>
<div class="SSN_rnum">I. HOW CAN WE KNOW THAT GOD HAS SPOKEN?</div>
<div class="SSN_level2">A. It is not unreasonable to think that God has spoken to man.</div>
<div class="SSN_level3">1. He that made the eyes can surely see.</div>
<div class="SSN_level4">He that made the ears can surely hear.</div>
<div class="SSN_level4">He that made the mouth can surely speak.</div>
<div class="SSN_level3">2. If God made man, He surely had a purpose in doing so.</div>
<div class="SSN_level4">a. It would be necessary to communicate that purpose to man.</div>
<div class="SSN_level4">b. It would be insane and cruel to just let men go on his own to try to find out the reason why he is here.</div>
<div class="SSN_level2">B. We can evaluate what man says that God spoke, to see if it is accurate knowledge.</div>
<div class="SSN_level3">1. If he says that God said something was going to happen and it didn't, then God didn't speak.</div>
<div class="SSN_level4">a. There can be extenuating circumstances, such as in Jonah.</div>
<div class="SSN_level4">b. There are charlatans.</div>
<div class="SSN_level3">2. If there are any inaccuracies in the message, then God didn't speak.</div>
<div class="SSN_level4">a. Scientists were predicting that there was 30 feet of meteorite dust on the moon.</div>
<div class="SSN_level5">1. They were envisioning blowing dust and obscuring vision as the lunar lander sank down through the dust.</div>
<div class="SSN_level4">b. Had someone said that God said the lunar lander would be lost in the dust, He would be a false prophet. God did not speak.</div>
<div class="SSN_level5">1. It must conform to true scientific knowledge which is to be subsequently learned.</div>
<div class="SSN_level5">2. Oh Job - you said God hung the earth on nothing.</div>
<div class="SSN_level5">3. Isaiah - you said God said the earth was a circle, the scientists know it is flat.</div>
<div class="SSN_rnum">II. DID GOD SPEAK TO EZEKIEL? Vs. 3,14.</div>
<div class="SSN_level2">A. Bring many nations against thee, vs. 3.</div>
<div class="SSN_level2">B. Destroy walls and break down towers, vs. 4.</div>
<div class="SSN_level2">C. Scrape the dirt from it and make it like a rock, vs. 4.</div>
<div class="SSN_level2">D. Place for spreading of nets, vs. 5.</div>
<div class="SSN_level2">E. Nebuchadnezzar first king to attack, vs. 7.</div>
<div class="SSN_level2">F. He will destroy the city, but no mention of spoil.</div>
<div class="SSN_level2">G. Change of pronoun, vs. 12 - they shall spoil.</div>
<div class="SSN_level2">H. They shall lay thy stones, timber, dust in the midst of the water.</div>
<div class="SSN_level2">I. Thou shalt be built no more.</div>
<div class="SSN_level2">J. What does subsequent history reveal?</div>
<div class="SSN_level3">1. 586 Nebuchadnezzar began siege.</div>
<div class="SSN_level3">2. Phoenicians - because of powerful navy, able to hold out 13 years.</div>
<div class="SSN_level3">3. Later part of siege moved city to island - half mile off shore.</div>
<div class="SSN_level3">4. Nebuchadnezzar's victory was hollow.</div>
<div class="SSN_level3">5. Tyre continued to prosper until 322 B.C.</div>
<div class="SSN_level3">6. Alexander the Great sought to conquer it.</div>
<div class="SSN_level3">7. His method of conquest.</div>
<div class="SSN_level2">K. Chances are God did speak - 150,000,000 to one.</div>
<div class="SSN_rnum">III. WHAT HAS GOD SPOKEN ABOUT OUR FUTURE?</div>
<div class="SSN_level2">A. All depends upon your relationship with His Son Jesus Christ.</div>
<div class="SSN_level3">1. He who has the Son has life.</div>
<div class="SSN_level3">2. Salvation can come no other way - "No other name..." -- "I am the way..."</div>
<div class="SSN_level3">3. Jesus said, "the words that I speak, they are life and they are truth."</div>
<div class="SSN_level4">a. That is a true or false statement.</div>
