One the reasons people don’t understand prophecy and deny there are “prophets” today, and why people struggle with “good news” when “the news” is sharing so much “bad news” is because they do not remember what God said in Isaiah 46:10. Listen to what the Lord said, through the prophet Isaiah, “I declare the end from the beginning and from ancient times things not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will accomplish all my purpose.” God sees and speaks the end and then walks with us from the beginning to bring us to the purpose He has planned for us individually, communally, nationally, and internationally.

The reason God starts at the end, is first of all because He is the God who knows and sees the end, the now and the beginning. He is the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end. He is outside of time, so He can see the whole process, while we only see a piece. But why does He tells us the future and then walk us from the start? Because if we know how it will end, we have courage to journey with Him through the process. We love end results, God loves relationship. What is developed in us as we journey with Him is the real reward, not the answer He promised at the end.

We will receive the end result answer, for if He said it, He will do it. However, He wants us to know Him, really know Him, so we do life with Him in the valley and in the prosperity. Nothing will distract you from Him once you really know Him. He shows you the end, prophetically, not to dangle a carrot in front of you, but to give you hope in the midst of the valley, to give you courage in the middle of the battle, to give you confidence in the middle of insecurity. Faith is believing what He said, even when your circumstances, your nations circumstances are contrary what He said the end is going to look like. “I declare the end from the beginning and from ancient times things not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will accomplish all my purpose.” He will do what He said He’s going to do, He promises!
