Title: Is this the end of the world! 1 of 3 Scripture: Daniel 7:1-14 WHO WAS AND IS A PROPHET? Definition: These were and are men or women tasked by God with a specific word directed towards a specific person or people to provoke a specific response WHAT IS PROPHECY? Definition: A message that is divinely inspired by God, through a person, directed towards a specific person or group intended to provoke a specific response. PROPHECY IN THE OLD AND NEW TESTAMENT References: Hosea 6:1-3, Joel 1:13-20, Isaiah 40, Judges 4, Jeremiah 42, 1 Corinthians 14:1-6, Ephesians 4:10-13. PROPHECY TODAY AND LAST DAYS THEOLOGY Two Views Today: Continuitionist and Cessationist Irenaeus (AD 125—200) said, “We do also hear many brethren in the church who possess prophetic gifts and through the Spirit speak all kinds of languages. . . . The dead even have been raised up, and remained among us for many years.” “Preaching/teaching is grounded in an inspired text. Prophecy is the fruit of a spontaneous revelation.” — Sam Storms DANIEL 7: THE FOUR BEAST AND THE ANCIENT OF DAYS Daniel 7:1-14 OUR HOPE IS IN THE ANCIENT OF DAYS WHO HAS A KINGDOM THAT WILL NEVER END Daniel 7:17-18
