Some Basic Principles Underlying the Study of Prophecy (2)

We have the prophetic word confirmed, which you do well to heed as a light that shines in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts.
2 Peter 1:19 NKJV

Some Basic Principles Underlying the Study of Prophecy (2)
The messages of the prophets were directed in first line to immediate situations and needs, but their writings always look far beyond these immediate situations. Thus, most prophecies can be said to have a double, and often even a triple fulfillment, the more immediate of these generally foreshadowing the more distant ones. Israel's blessings were often dependent upon their obedience and were essentially associated with life upon earth.

The age of grace in which we are living is a parenthesis of unspecified length, often fitting between two clauses of the same sentence in Old Testament prophecy. There are no events prophesied in Scripture that would give us a time for the rapture of the Church—the Lord tells us to be looking for Him at any time. A seven-year period of awful judgment on earth, the Tribulation, will follow the rapture of the saints, the second half of this period being termed the Great Tribulation.

The Church is a heavenly people, blessed with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ rather than with material blessings for this earth, although God in grace frequently grants some of these as well. Since we now have God's complete Word, prophetic ministry today is a matter of forth-telling the mind of God rather than of foretelling future events. A prophet on earth today does not bring fresh revelations by direct inspiration, but rather, as led by the Holy Spirit, conveys God's message from God's Word for the occasion.

-- Eugene P. Vedder, Jr.

Jesus, we wait for Thee, with Thee to have our part;
What can full joy and blessing be but being where Thou art?

-- J. N. Darby

I was not disobedient to the vision.' Acts 26:19 NIV

Thoughts on the Gospel of John (113)

He who loves his life will lose it, and he who hates his life in this world will keep it for eternal life. If anyone serves me, let him follow me; and where I am, there my servant will be also. If anyone serves me, him my Father will honour.
John 12:25.26.
