Subject: prophets for today |
Bible Note: Greetings Bows44! Something else that people sometimes forget is that a prophets doesn't just 'foretell' the future, but also 'forthtells'. Look at the minor prophets especially, and you will see that their prophecies dealt with applying God's word to current circumstances. Most pastors exercise a prophetic office in the sense that they apply God's word to today. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
