God Used Similitudes in His Word

If you read the book I wrote, you now understand many of the stories in the Old Testament where God designed and controlled the circumstances in someone’s life to be a prophetic picture of future events.  This is an AMAZING thing God did, and it proves His existence!  But for those of you who do not believe the things I wrote … did you know God actually CONFIRMED He did these things?  God said through Hosea: “I have also spoken by the prophets … and used similitudes, by the ministry of the prophets” (Hosea 12:10).

The word “similitudes” was translated from the Hebrew word dāmâ meaning: to be like, liken, resemble.  And the word “ministry” was translated from the Hebrew word yād meaning: hand, by extension: arm, finger; figure of control, power, strength, direction, care. In other words, God is saying, by His power and strength He directed and controlled the hand (lives) of His prophets so that certain circumstances in their lives would resemble (or be like) future events!

For instance, Moses “stretching out his arms” over the Red Sea was a prophetic picture of Jesus “stretching out his arms” on the cross.  In both cases, the enslaved went free, and the enslaver (enemy) was destroyed!  Likewise, Samson “stretching out his arms” between two pillars was a picture of Jesus “stretching out his arms” on the cross.  Again, in both cases, through their death, the enslaved went free, and the enslaver (enemy) was destroyed!  And on and on with the things I wrote in my book.

Now, since these things God controlled were “prophetic resemblances” in these people’s lives, God deemed ALL these people as prophets!  The writer of Hebrews confirms this by naming people like Abel, Enoch, Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Joseph, Moses, Joshua, Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jephthah, David, Samual, and then saying, “and all the other prophets” (Hebrews 11:32, Living Bible).  It is only after one studies and fully understands the “prophetic events” in these people’s lives, that one can THEN fully understand the prophetic meaning behind the NUMBERS God attached to these events!  And, only THEN, can one know the title of my book is Truth: “Jesus Christ Will Return to Planet Earth Exactly 2,000 Years After the Year of His Death”.
