Bible Question: what prophecy |
Bible Answer: Greetings Karol and welcome, Although the Scriptures and not explicit in describing of this prophesy, some thoughts are: The exhortation he may have received from some prophets: Acts 15:32 "And Judas and Silas, being prophets also themselves, exhorted the brethren with many words, and confirmed them." (and-or) the presbyters at Ephesus; who may have charged him to remain faithful: For the presbyters where to - "Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood." Acts 20:28 Also, he had a good report from the brothers: Act 16:2 “Which was well reported of by the brethren that were at Lystra and Iconium. “ Any or all of these may have been the prophecy, but we do know he kept the faith and was martyred: “Timothy was the celebrated disciple of St. Paul, and bishop of Ephesus, where he zealously governed the Church until A.D. 97. At this period, as the pagans were about to celebrate a feast called Catagogion, Timothy, meeting the procession, severely reproved them for their ridiculous idolatry, which so exasperated the people that they fell upon him with their clubs, and beat him in so dreadful a manner that he expired of the bruises two days later. “ - Fox’s Book of Martyrs Hope this may help, terrib |
