Prophetic Protocol: Order In The Court

Product Information

For example, when Joel speaks about the outpouring of the Spirit and the images of the great and terrible coming day of the Lord, it was not only his original audience to whom he was speaking (Joel 2:28–32). Joel 2 is quoted in Acts at Pentecost (Acts 2:17–21). The same images expressed in Acts 2:28–32 are also evident at Christ’s crucifixion. One could even legitimately argue that Joel’s prophecy finds ultimate expression in the second coming of our Lord. Therefore, although Joel had a single intent, his words find many references (i.e., “landing points”) throughout redemptive history. That is why this passage about the outpouring of the Spirit was one of John Calvin’s favorite passages for explaining how the prophetic idiom works. 4. Hunt for ways in which the New Testament Scriptures cite, allude to, or echo the Prophets.

After Christ has successfully reigned and demolished the last enemy, which is death (1 Cor 15:24-28), the ‘Son’s kingdom will then become the Father’s kingdom as the millennial kingdom (Rev. 20:1-10) then merges into the eternal state (Rev. 21-22)’ (Woods 2016:291). Concluding Remarks Fourth, and finally, since Christ told His disciples on the road to Emmaus that all the Scriptures spoke about Him and His ministry (or by extension His body, which is the church), we should always be on the hunt for ways in which the New Testament Scriptures cite, allude to, or echo the Prophets. For example, Peter (having been a witness to the transfiguration) realized that the foundational passage in Deuteronomy 18:15–19, which speaks about Moses as the paradigmatic prophet of all subsequent prophets, found its ultimate homecoming in Christ as the final prophet (see Acts 3:17–26). This interpretation is confirmed further by the writer to the book of Hebrews, who understood that Moses was faithful as a servant over His house (the old covenant) but Christ is faithful as a son over His house; that is, the new covenant. Moreover, God is the builder of the entire house, old and new (Heb. 3:1–6). Baptist preacher William Miller is credited with beginning the mid-19th century North American religious movement now known as Adventism. He announced a Second Coming, resulting in the Great Disappointment. While the second half of the Tribulation Period will be ‘great tribulation, such as has not occurred since the beginning of the world until now, nor ever will’ (Mat 24:21), by the middle of the Tribulation Period, this announcement will have been made in heaven: ‘The ‘kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord and of His Christ, and He will reign forever and ever’ (Rev 11:15). During the second half of the Tribulation, all the enemies of Christ will be made his footstool. The Seven Bowl Judgements Stage: Battle from Bozrah to the Valley of Jehoshaphat (Is 34:6; 63:1-6; Mic 2:12-13; Joel 3:12-13)

Divination remains an important aspect of the lives of the people of contemporary Africa, especially amongst the usually rural, socially traditionalistic segments of its population. In arguably its most influential manifestation, the system of prophecy practiced by the Babalawos and Iyanifas of the historically Yoruba regions of West Africa have bequeathed to the world a corpus of fortune-telling poetic methodologies so intricate that they have been added by UNESCO to its official intangible cultural heritage of the World list. a b Cole, Juan (1982). "The Concept of Manifestation in the Baháʼí Writings". Baháʼí Studies. monograph 9: 1–38. At the end of the millennium, Satan will be loosed from the abyss to deceive the nations yet again, for a final rebellion (Rev 20:7). A final Gog and Magog war will ensue, as Satan will gather unbelievers together on the broad plain of the earth. They will then surround the camp of the saints and the beloved city, but God will send fire down from heaven and devour them (Rev 20:8-9). Great White Throne Judgement In modern times the term "prophet" can be somewhat controversial. Many Christians with Pentecostal or charismatic beliefs believe in the continuation of the gift of prophecy and the continuation of the role of prophet as taught in Ephesians 4. [75] The content of prophecies can vary widely. Prophecies are often spoken as quotes from God. They may contain quotes from scripture, statements about the past or current situation, or predictions of the future. Prophecies can also 'make manifest the secrets' of the hearts of other people, telling about the details of their lives. Sometimes, more than one person in a congregation will receive the same message in prophecy, with one giving it before another.

Al-Yasa (Elisha) is typically identified with Elisha, although the stories in the Bible are not repeated in the Quran.During the first half of the Tribulation Period, a one-world religious system will exist. Moves are already afoot to combine all ‘religions’ (humanity’s various so-called ‘ways’ to god/God) into a one-world religious body, a harlot for Satan. This is in stark contrast to Christianity which recognizes God’s only way of salvation through Jesus Christ, who is the only Way, Truth and Life (Jn 14:6). Process: Rise of the Anti-Christ Followers of the Ahmadiyya Movement in Islam believe that Mirzā Ghulām Aḥmad was a prophet of God, [93] [94] who claimed to be a fulfillment of the various Islamic prophecies regarding the second advent of Jesus ( ʿĪsā) before the end of time.

The false prophet will be prominent from at least the middle of the Tribulation Period. He will look like a pious, religious person, but speak like a dragon (Rev 13:11). The false prophet will have the power to perform counterfeit signs and wonders (Rev 13:13-15). It is the false prophet who forces people to worship the antichrist and to take the mark of the beast (Rev 13:12, 16-18). At this stage, a counterfeit ‘Satanic trinity’ will be present on earth: Satan as a counterfeit father, the antichrist as a counterfeit son, and the false prophet as a counterfeit holy spirit.
