prophecy

At the beginning of Acts 21 we see prophecy operating at several capacities; believers prophesied through the Holy Spirit that Paul should not go on to Jerusalem (v4) Philip the Evangelist had four unmarried daughters who had the gift of prophecy (v9) Agabus, who also had the gift of prophecy...

Am currently reading through Calvins Zachariah commentary, which is (as all of his commentaries which I read) very insightful, applicative and also methodologically/hermeneutical helpful. However I read an argument on the fulfilment of a prophecy which I would like to rethink considering...

In light of a recent thread (which I do not link here so as not to inadvertently kick someone when they're down) in which the salvation of Solomon was discussed, I was wondering whether these specific words (in boldface) in the Messianic prophecy were also meant to be applicable to Solomon. I am...

I have just read William Perkins' The Art of Prophesying and it has again led me to consider the validity of equating prophecy with preaching. Perkins defines prophecy as "A solemn public utterance by the prophet, related to the worship of God and the salvation of our neighbours." He cites 1...

Hello brothers and sisters in Christ, I'm sure many of you on this forum are aware of the recent debacles within the charismatic movement, specifically relating to false prophecies about the recent presidential election. Many self-professing prophets shamelessly prophesied in the name of our...

“Who can doubt that this fire was not merely mine, but also the Holy Spirit who encouraged me with a radiance of marvelous illumination from his sacred Scriptures, . . . urging me to press forward?’. . . . With a hand that could be felt, the Lord opened my mind to the fact that it would be...

“Take from them silver and gold, and make a crown, and set it on the head of Joshua, the son of Jehozadak, the high priest. And say to him, 'Thus says the Lord of hosts, "Behold, the man whose name is the Branch: for he shall branch out from his place, and he shall build the temple of the Lord...

Hi brothers/sisters! So I am the only person in my family (and even my wife's family) who is Reformed and they are all dispensational and premillenialists (pre-trib). Fun dinners. So I know my views are absolutely against dispensational premillenialism since I believe we have always been once...

I did a search and found a couple of closed threads about Dan 9 and the seventy sevens, but nothing that addressed my specific question... Okay, so most Amills (myself included) view the church age (i.e. the millennium) as being synonymous with the last half-a-seven (a.k.a. 42 months, a.k.a...
