Interpreting the Prophets (Phase 6 of 12)
Coming Soon!
God's Redemptive purpose has unfolded as each book of the Bible is read from Genesis through to the book of Acts and the Epistles. After this there appears to be a gap, until the last day and the Book of Revelation. There is no gap! The apostle Peter declared that "all the prophets from Samuel and those that follow after... have likewise foretold of these days," (the "apparent gap.") (Acts.2:16-36; 3:18-25) This makes the language of the Prophets, crucial in understanding our present day, because they have already prophesied about the decline and restoration of the Church to be the Bride.
However when the Prophets speak, they speak of the Tabernacle of Moses, Levitical priesthood, Feast days, Five offerings, Divers washings and ordinances, and the journey of Israel from Egypt to the Promised Land. How does this relate to the New Testament Church? This is answered by the apostle Paul, the "wise masterbuilder" (architect, the reader of blueprints). Paul interprets this language to be "types" and "shadows," (1 Cor.10:1-11, Rom.15:4) that brings "us to Christ," (Gal.3:24, Matt.5:17-19, Heb.9:1-26) the Bridegroom. (Note: Rom.16:25-26, Acts.28:23 / Luke.24:1-45. Acts.1:3) To misread the prophets, is to miss what "the Spirit saith unto the Churches."
The Prophets spoke unto us, the Church, the Body of Christ,
(1 Peter.1:10-12, Acts.3:18-25) this is why the language of the Old Testament Prophets needs to be interpeted accurately. It is the misunderstanding of who the Prophet is speaking to, that has poroduce many different doctrines concerning the end-times. To be continued....
