"O the Depths of God's . . . Wisdom -Continue with Jehovah Is "Wise Alone"

Jehovah is "wise alone" in another sense: Only he is able to peer into the future.  Remember, Jehovah uses the farseeing eagle to symbolize divine wisdom.  A golden eagle may weigh a mere ten pounds, but his eyes are larger than those of a full-grown man.  The eagle's eyesight is amazingly keen, enabling the bird to spot tiny prey from thousands of feet aloft, perhaps even from miles away!  Jehovah himself once said of the eagle:  "Far into the distance its eyes keep looking."  (Job 39:29)  In a similar sense, Jehovah can look "far into the distance" of time-the future! 

The Bible is full of evidence that this is true.  It contains hundreds of prophecies, or history written in advance.  The outcome of wars, the rise and fall of world powers, and even the specific battle strategies  of military commanders were all foretold in the Bible-in some cases hundreds of years in advance. -Isaiah 44:25-45:4;  Daniel 8:2-8, 20-22.
