A
prophet (in the best Biblical sense of the word) is a person who
discerns and declares, by the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, the
purposes of God concerning Christ.
We
will develop that thought and build support for it as we progress.
Because of the popular misconceptions of the prophetic ministry, some
may initially find this definition too narrow. They may struggle with
the idea that all prophetic utterance is Christ-centered.
For
instance, what about all those end time events in the Book of
Revelation? Some of them do not seem to directly speak about Jesus. Are
they not prophetic?
This
objection is easily overcome, but before we can overcome it, we must
recognize one supreme, central, eternal truth: that everything God has
done, is doing, and will do is connected somehow to bringing Christ more
fully into view. Everything that God has said, is saying, and will say
(prophetically or otherwise) is related to Christ: either directly, or
indirectly, it all points and leads to Him.
We
can safely discard as “interesting, but not prophetic” anything that
claims to be prophetic but does not reveal or declare something
concerning Christ...
