Prophecy Silences Pride
Commentators agree that God reveals future events in a way that is clearly supernatural. By declaring things 'created now' and previously unheard of, God ensures that no one can claim they predicted the outcome through their own wisdom or political insight. The purpose of this prophetic revelation is to stop human boasting and ensure all glory goes to God for His sovereign acts in history.
