Prophecy: Future Telling or Truth Telling?

Join me to explore the true nature of biblical prophecy and challenge the common dispensationalist view of prophecy as future telling. Through examples from the Hebrew Bible and Revelation, we will see how prophecy focuses on calling people back to God's covenant and priorities, offering conditional future insight, and comfort during exile. This episode will encourage you to rethink the spiritual gift of prophecy as confronting hard truths rather than predicting the future.Time Stamps:00:00 Introduction to Untidy Faith Podcast00:29 Understanding Prophecy in Dispensationalist Circles02:00 The Role of Prophets in the Hebrew Bible03:39 Conditional Prophecies and Their Outcomes06:52 Prophecy Beyond Destruction: Comfort and Hope09:41 Revelation and Eschatological Future11:48 Rethinking Prophecy: Truth Telling vs. Future Telling13:48 Conclusion and Call to ActionKate Boyd - Book | Bible Studies | Coaching | Newsletter | Instagram This is a public episode.
