The Prophetic Pattern: Ancient and Modern Prophecy - E-book - ePub

Weren't we all going to die on Friday, December 21, 2012? Are there really signposts to the world's end? Does modern prophecy really merge with ancient prophecy? Will all of the Christians suddenly disappear? The answers may surprise you. Millions of Americans are anxiously waiting to see if the world will end in 2012. Despite the fact that signs seem to be everywhere in all ancient and modern prophecy and even science, the major sign pointed to by both Daniel and Christ is overlooked by prophecy interpreters.
And interpretation of modern prophecy overlooks intent. Like a scary movie, prophecy is great fun until it starts affecting people's lives. This book explores how to distinguish the intent of various types of prophecies and oracles, both ancient and modern. The five chapters in this discussion guide are rich in information, providing one legitimate point of view, and are intended to encourage discussion and additional research.
A ten meeting discussion group is the minimum recommended. Subjects to explore include: * History, and the situations surrounding prophecy * Types of prophecy * Other interpretations of prophecy * Are faith and prophetic belief blind? * Societies that go bad - are they destroyed? * Social change - saving ourselves * The challenges of the 21st.
