We do not question that holy men moved by the Holy Spirit have foretold things that were to come to pass, which could not have been foreseen by the natural wisdom of men. But too much of importance has been attached to the purely predictive element of prophecy. Looking for fulfillment of prophecy in particular historical events, we do not see revelations of the character of our holy God, and his relation to a race of lost men. We do not read the lesson that we are the creatures of his all-wise and gracious purpose, the objects of his redeeming love and providential care. – Wilbur O. Allen in The Book of Revelation: A Christian Philosophy

Paul is like a musician who does not need the approval of the audience if he can catch the look of approval from his Master. – Oswald Chambers, Utmost For His Highest

In biblical days prophets were astir while the world was asleep; today the world is astir while church and synagogue are busy with trivialities. – Abraham Joshua Heschel, theologian, poet, mystic, social reformer, author, in The Insecurity of Freedom
