In each generation, God chose people to write his words on his behalf. The book that contains these words of God is the Bible. It was God’s intention to have his prophecies that would be fulfilled in the future concealed in figurative language—sealed with seven seals—so that no one would understand the prophecies until the time appointed for their fulfillment had arrived (Is 29:9-14; Hos 12:10; Mt 13:10-11; Rv 5:1-3).
