✅Sabbath School Lesson 02 "The Call of a Prophet" | The Gift of Prophecy (Q4 2026)

Sabbath School Lesson 2 follows one small Hebrew word through the whole Bible: hinneni, here I am.

In Isaiah 65 God says here am I, here am I, to people who never called His name, and Hebrews 10 puts the same words in the mouth of Christ coming into the world. Every faithful here am I in the Bible turns out to be an echo of His, and t
