How prophetic is God's word? How do we determine if a book or portion of scripture is prophetic or not?
The reason I ask these questions is that lately I've been reading the book of proverbs and it seems littered with obilque passages that seem out of context with its more general wisdom maxims :confused:
I wont post any examples here just yet because I want see if anyone else has noted examples of this in Proverbs or other seemingly "non prophetic books".
The more my own limited knowledge of God's word grows; the more I notice expressions and motifs throughout the whole bible, I'm coming round to the idea that the scriptures are prophetic in a more complete way then I believed previously :read:
I'm sure I'm not alone, or indeed the first, in coming to this conclusion so I'm throwing this out there, any ideas anyone?
