Explain: What real vision is
Incorrect interpretation:
· Summit is seeking a Vision: That is a declaration of our objectives intended to guide our internal decisions.
· Simply put, “no prophetic vision” leads to failure to see opportunities.
· And “cast off restraint” means we would be undisciplined and chaotic, thereby leading to eternal destruction.
Correct interpretation:
Vision: חָזוֹן (ḥāzôn); Aram.
הֱזוּ (hĕzû).
n. masc.
vision.
Divine revelation in the form of a vision or a word from God.[1]
So, this means, where God’s word is not proclaimed we will be unrestrained or ungovernable.
Lacking direction; either no or not following godly leadership.
Amplifying the interpretation by use of the Contrast:
18 Where there is no prophetic vision the people cast off restraint, but blessed is he who keeps the law.
If we don’t keep God’s Word in our hearts & minds we are happy or unhappy?
Exemplify: Examples of a lack of vision
Eli’s time—no open vision,
Asa’s days—Israel without a teaching priest ()
Apply:
If we fail to hear or head God’s Word we will:
1. Be ungovernable & chaotic = unsaved
2. Our world will deteriorate = unsuccessful
3. Be unhappy (not blessed) = unhappy
But if we hear and head we will obtain:
1. Salvation
2. Successful Living
3. True Happiness
Answer this hard question:
· Is it your fault that some people perish for lack of the Word?
· Does you current blessings/happiness reflect your relationship to the Word of God?
