Jehovah As Witness

MountainThe result of “call unto me” is “I will answer you.” That word “answer” means “to respond as a witness.” (Brown-Driver-Briggs) God is not coming to the witness stand to say, “Well, back in 600 B.C. ‘this’ happened and so-and-so did ’that’.”  “But He is a witness to what is going to happen because He is going to bring it about.  From the very beginning telling you what the ending will be, All along letting you in on what is going to happen, Assuring you, ‘I’m in this for the long haul, I’ll do exactly what I set out to do’.” (Isa 46:10, MSG) Jehovah is the kind of witness who does not come and say what He saw but what He sees. He declares the end of a thing before it ever gets started. He is not sitting around talking about what happened a year ago, He is already speaking of that which is in the coming year and He is requiring agreement with it.
