What the Bible Really Says About Prophets — June 27th | Resolved to Read

In this special supplemental episode of Resolved to Read, we pause our daily chronological Bible reading to take a closer look at one of the Bible’s most misunderstood figures: the prophet. Were prophets mainly fortune-tellers predicting the distant future, or were they something more immediate, urgent, and deeply rooted in Israel’s covenant relationship with God?Drawing from our recent readings in 1 and 2 Kings, Amos, Hosea, Joel, Micah and Jonah, this episode explores what prophets actually were, what they were called to do, and why their message so often made them unwelcome. We’ll see that prophets were God’s messengers - confronting injustice, exposing idolatry, calling people to repentance, warning of judgment, and holding out the hope of restoration.Most importantly, we’ll trace how the prophets point beyond themselves to Jesus, the ultimate Prophet, who speaks God’s word perfectly and brings about the restoration they long foretold.Whether you’ve ever felt confused by the prophetic books or simply want to understand the big picture better, this episode will help you read Scripture with greater clarity and confidence.Resolved to Read is a daily chronological audio Bible podcast guiding you through Scripture in one year - with short readings, quiet moments of reflection, and warm, every-other-week conversations that bring faith to life.📖 Subscribe on your favorite podcast app or watch on YouTube.🎧 Listen daily + follow along using the Daily Bible in Chronological Order, edited by F.
