This is the introductory session.
There are 4 main things to remember about prophecy in the Old Testament:
- Don't see Jesus behind every prophetic "tree". While there are many prophecies about Jesus in the Old Testament, we don't stretch every story or prophecy to make Jesus fit into it.
- A prophet had to 100% accurate to be considered a prophet.
- Prophecies typically have a short-term fulfillment but may have a long-term fulfillment as well.
- Long-term fulfillments are often declared in the New Testament - usually by referencing the prophecy.
This chapter in Proverbs is penned by Agur. We don't know anything about him except that was an oracle - a man with a weighty message. A lot of great wisdom in this chapter!
