Watch and Pray
"Nevertheless we made our prayer unto our God, and set a watch against them day and night, because of them" (Nehemiah 4:9).
Faith in All the Ages
"And what shall I more say? for the time would fail me to tell of Gideon, and of Barak, and of Samson, and of Jephthae; of David also, and Samuel, and of the prophets" (Hebrews 11:32).
The Lively Oracles
"This is he, that was in the church in the wilderness with the angel which spake to him in the mount Sina, and with our fathers: who received the lively oracles to give unto us" (Acts 7:38).
Not Yet
"These words spake Jesus in the treasury, as He taught in the temple: and no man laid hands on Him; for His hour was not yet come" (John 8:20).
Seven Days
"Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day: and he saw it, and was glad" (John 8:56).
Jesus spoke to the Pharisees about "my day"--a day which Abraham had "seen" 2000 years before. This evidently referred to the time when Christ would be on earth, which God had enabled Abraham to see in prophecy.
