Commentary on Genesis 18:17

Theological / Devotional

Shall I hide from Abraham? Abraham is called in the Scriptures the friend of God (2 Chron. 20:7; Isa. 41:8). Since he stood so high in the divine favor and fellowship, God saw fit to impart to him a more intimate knowledge of His works and ways. Similarly, He has entrusted messages to the prophets, concerning whom He says that they stand in His counsel, or “secret” (Jer. 23:18-22; Amos 3:7). It is particularly with reference to acts of judgment upon the earth that the Lord speaks thus.
