Deliberately written.... deliberately fulfilled....













John 17:12
“That the scripture might be fulfilled”

Circumstances came about in deliberate fashion. Specific people were in specific places at specific times. Intentional events were set in motion. Everything was done with intent and purpose and methodical and systematic perfection. What took place, took place by design. The deliberate calculations of a deliberate God.
Why.....? Because the scripture had to be fulfilled.

Because it was written………. it had to come to pass.
Not the even the minutest of detail could be overlooked or ignored. The scripture had to be fulfilled. It was irrevocable.
It had not been written with the careless pen of an author of fiction living out his fantasy of other worlds, but with the deliberate and wilful intent of the Holy Spirit who created every world. And every letter, every word, every sentence…...set in motion a chain of events, circumstances, people, movings, stirrings……. whatever it took to bring about the eventual fulfilment of that which was written in order “that the scripture might be fulfilled”.
In the fullness of time it came to pass. It had to come to pass, there was no other option. It had been deliberately written...... it had to be deliberately fulfilled.
