Let us follow this line of reasoning by producing examples. In the sixth chapter of Genesis we have an account of a wonderful experience of foreknowledge or prophecy. God revealed to His servant Noah that the wickedness of man was so great that He had determined to allow His Spirit to strive with them but little longer; and therefore gave commandments to that righteous man to erect an ark so that he and all his house might escape the disastrous results of the deluge that was to sweep all animated creatures from off the earth. So minute were these instructions that the kind of wood—gopher-wood—to be used in the construction was named; and more singular still this kind of wood is mentioned nowhere else in the Bible, and “Noah did according unto all that the Lord commanded him." What followed this obedience? The flood came, and Noah, his family, and all animals that entered the ark were saved; while all other flesh moving upon the earth was destroyed. Noah and his family, no doubt, were unschooled in modern Scripture interpretation, explaining prophecy as a figure or shadow of a spiritual action or process; because he obeyed the prophetic instructions.
