Our Father Will Cause Us To Know The Future

"Howbeit when He, the Spirit of truth, is come, He will guide you into all truth: for He shall not speak of Himself; but whatsoever He shall hear, that shall He speak: and He will shew you things to come. He shall glorify Me: for He shall receive of Mine, and shew it unto you. All things that the Father hath are Mine: therefore said I, that He shall take of Mine, and shew it unto you." John 16:13-15

But the Comforter (Counselor, Helper, Intercessor, Advocate, Strengthener, Standby), the Holy Spirit, Whom the Father will send in My name [in My place, to represent Me and act on My behalf], He will teach you all things. And He will cause you to recall (will remind you of, bring to your remembrance) everything I have told you. John 14:26

But as for you, the anointing (the sacred appointment, the unction) which you received from Him abides [ permanently] in you; [so] then you have no need that anyone should instruct you. But just as His anointing teaches you concerning everything and is true and is no falsehood, so you must abide in (live in, never depart from) Him [being rooted in Him, knit to Him], just as [His anointing] has taught you [to do]. 1 John 2:27

This Truth is not mentioned very much, but it is a glorious one: our Father has given us His Holy Spirit so that we can know what the future is. Look at Jesus’ life and you will see that He was constantly being shown by the Spirit what was happening in the future. Jesus knew when and how He was going to die. He was shown that Lazarus was going to die and that He was going to raise him up from the dead. He was shown Nathanael standing under a fig tree before Phillip called him to come and meet Jesus. Paul knew that he was going to be arrested in Jerusalem and would be transferred to Rome to meet with Caesar. Peter knew that he was to go to Cornelius. And John was shown the end of the world. All of these people were shown the future by the Holy Spirit and we are plainly told that we too will be shown future events to help us in ministering the Gospel.

Faith comes from hearing the Truth and the Truth always sets us free. And the Truth is, the Holy Spirit will plainly show us things to come.
