On Prophecy
I think at one point or another in every Christian's life, we've all been fascinated
by the biblical prophecies.
No matter the tradition one belongs to, there's an abiding fascination with
the words preserved from so long
ago about such mysterious and exotic places as Nineveh, Babylon, Egypt, and
the bizarrerie of creatures
with multiple heads, wings, horns, and so on. The imagery is so strikingly
powerful and memorable, so that
even still we wonder, what on earth are they talking about?
In the pages presented here, I intend to share my own particular insights regarding
the nature of biblical
prophecy (no small matter), certain potential interpretations of ancient
prophecies within their original contexts,
and even interaction with certain trends in modern biblical prophetic interpretation.
As always, I appreciate any comments.
