Character of Teaching

Provides knowledge of the heavenly council

Of True	Of False
Amos 3꞉7 Surely the Lord God will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret [sod] unto his servants the prophets.	Jeremiah 23꞉22 But if they stood in my council [sod], and caused my people to hear my words, they should have turned them from their evil way and the evil of their doings.

Here “secret” is a translation of the Hebrew sod. Professor Daniel Peterson has explained that “an understanding of the Hebrew term sod is crucial for appreciating these passages. In the Old Testament, that word denotes confidential discussions or secrets (as at Proverbs 3:32 and 11:13). It also refers to the council setting in which such confidential discussions are conducted.”
