Summary

  • Reading prophecy requires faith.

  • Reading prophecy requires an understanding of the original meaning (foretelling).

  • Reading prophecy requires an understanding of the future meaning (forthtelling).

Above all, you must understand that no prophecy of Scripture came about by the prophet’s own interpretation of things. For prophecy never had its origin in the human will, but prophets, though human, spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit.
— 2 Peter 1:20-21 (NLT)
