Prophecy Update
All,
Well done on the prophecy search. The last example may have been a bit confusing for some. Let me take a moment to give you some other examples that would more clearly fit the multiple fulfillment model. Joe actually listed the best example that I could think of. Abraham was promised by God that he would become the "father of many nations" and his offspring would bless the earth. We see in Matt. 8:11;Rom. 4:16; and Rom. 9:8 that not only have literal nations sprung up from his offspring, but a spiritual seed (the Jews and then Jesus) was cast to bless the earth. The continuing "yet to be fulfilled" prophetic ripple is that the nations are still being blessed through us as we carry the "seed of faith" from the work of Jesus. This word is still being fulfiled.
Another example might be found in Malachi 3:6-18. The specific curse on the people of God for not tithing (robbing God) did come upon them, in essense, it was fulfilled. On a daily basis, this word has rippling prophetic effect upon every nation whether it honors God or not, and of course a personal ripple that includes all "God's people" or the Church.
I will comment on yours so check back on your "comments" section.
Hope you are enjoying the class. Remember, as I said to one student, this is "art class". I am standing behind you watching you paint. As long as you stay within the boundaries, you are practicing your skills. You will improve. Some of what we are learning is common sense, some is a matter of revelation according to your circumstances. That is the beauty of God's word. My goal in the class is to get you to never forget where the boundaries of the canvass are.
