What "Thus Saith the Lord" Really Means

Wednesday, June 30, 2021

In Ezekiel 37, and all throughout the Bible, we're told, "Thus saith the Lord," We understand to mean truth being given by God. But, when you read, "thus saith the Lord," most of the time it doesn't quite mean "thus saith the Lord," as in the present tense. The Hebrew word for "saith" is most often, Amar. Amar is not the present tense but the past or perfect tense. That makes a big difference. It means it's already done, finished. It means that it's already perfectly established. The Word of God is perfect, finished, done. Thus, when God says something, it's as good as done. So, when you take the Word and promises of God, there's no question, no ifs, no maybes about it. Amar means it's settled, done, sealed, finished, accomplished - it's a done deal. Stand on the Word of God, believe in it, and be confident in the Word because the Word, the promise and assurance of God, is as good as done. "Thus says the Lord," the Lord has spoken.
