Word of the LORD

In the first year of his reign, I, Daniel, perceived in the books the number of years that, according to the word of the LORD to Jeremiah the prophet, must pass before the end of the desolations of Jerusalem, namely, seventy years. - Dan 9:2

When reading Scripture, we need to remember that it is the word of the Lord. It's not the book of Jeremiah--it's the book of the Lord to Jeremiah. Doesn't that just make you tremble thinking about it? This applies to all Scripture. The Mosaic law is really God's law delivered to Moses. The book of Isaiah is the word of the Lord to Isaiah. Revelation is God's revelation to John. All scripture is God breathed and none of it is written by the will of man, but by God.
