Prophesy is not given to see into the future

Prophesy is not given to see into the future, but is like a landmark to a map so that we know where we are in the LORD. GOD gave prophesy to give us hope and encouragement along the way, and to help us to know we are still on the right path. If you are traveling and you see on a map a river bridge or a small town, especially if you have not been this way before, it is kind of exciting to see the bridge or town because you know exactly where you are on the map. That is usually what prophesy really is. When you see the prophesy fulfilled, you know where you are with GOD.
