Lecture Question Module # 12 Joseph Workman

Is the prophecy fulfilled or unfulfilled? See the list of 6 possibilities above. Give me examples of all six. No need to give to much detail. Just give a one liner of how the prophecy was fulfilled or yet to be fulfilled. (Some Bibles have a section of Messianic Prophecy. Check that out for help.)

(1). Prophecy in the OT was fulfilled in the OT

In Genesis chapter 18 Abraham receives a visit from the Lord. Abraham serves the Lord in the form of “three visitors” caters to their every need. During this time the Lord asks Abraham were Sarah is and then prophecies that she will bear a child in one year. One year later a through a miracle Isaac is born.

(2). Prophecy in the OT was fulfilled in the NT

One of my favorite passages would be Isaiah 53. It is a picture of the Christ to come. I think it is incredible that God gives Isaiah such an incredible picture.

(3). Prophecy in the OT was not yet fulfilled in either testament.

Daniel chapter 12 is an example of this. The prophecy here concerns end times of which it hasn’t happened yet.

(4). Prophecy in the NT fulfilled in our time.

Jesus is prophesying in Mathew 24 to his disciples about the end times, but much of what He is saying about persecution, false prophets, signs of war, war, “nations will rise against nations”, and that many will turn away, etc… These are things that are happening today.

(5). Prophecy in the NT not yet fulfilled.

Also in the 24th chapter of Mathew Jesus prophecies about end times and also references the words spoken to Daniel.

(6). Prophecy fulfilled in OT AND yet to be fulfilled in our time.

I believe that the word that Abraham would be the father of many nations is a word that was fulfilled in the OT, but is still being fulfilled, and “yet to be fulfilled in our time” also.

This example would be one that has had that rippling effect fulfillment I believe.
