Understanding the Prophets (Part 2)
Individual TopicsSteve Gregg
In this discussion, Steve Gregg explores various interpretations of Old Testament prophecies and the challenges of understanding the prophets. He notes that the New Testament writers had special insights into the prophecies that the prophets themselves may not have comprehended. Symbols and metaphors are frequently used in prophetic language, which should be understood metaphorically rather than literally. The discussion also delves into prophecies related to the Messianic Age, which some Christians believe began with the first coming of Jesus Christ and will be consummated at his second coming.
