Lesson 2 The Prophetic Christ

The Promise:

The Word "prophecy" in the Bible has two different meanings. The first means proclaiming the Word of God. A pastor or evangelist is a prophet according to this definition. The second means to foretell the future. Once God had made the world, he made a promise, "If you eat of the fruit, you will die." Adam ate it. But he didn't die... right away. God made a dark prophecy to the temptor which was a glorious prophecy for us:

"I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and
hers; he will crush your head and you will strike his heal." - Genesis 3:15

The rest of history is waiting for this offspring to come. Every prophecy (in the second type) talks about this offspring. waits for this offspring. has faith in this promised offspring.

Read:

Isaiah 53, Psalm 22, Psalm 101, Zechariah 9 and 13
