Luke 24:27 And beginning with Moses and all the Prophets, He explained to them what was written in all the Scriptures about Himself.
In context, Jesus was walking with two of His disciples on the road to Emmaus after His resurrection. Although He did not immediately reveal His identity to them, He did something even more important, He opened the Scriptures and explained everything written about Himself. Beginning with Moses and all the Prophets, Jesus showed that the entire Bible points to Him. He was teaching them about prophecy.
Biblical prophecy is God’s revelation of His redemptive plan for history, centered on Jesus Christ. While prophecy includes foretelling future events, its greatest purpose is to reveal the person and work of Christ. The goal of prophecy is to deepen our understanding of Jesus, strengthen our love for Him, and increase our confidence in God’s sovereign plan.
When you see Christ in prophecy, you are moved to holy living, steadfast hope, and faithful service. Every prophecy reminds us that God keeps His promises and that Jesus will accomplish everything He has declared.
As you study biblical prophecy, ask yourself, “What does this passage reveal about Jesus?” The greatest event in prophecy is not merely the unfolding of end-time events but the glorious revelation of Jesus Christ, the King of kings and Lord of lords. Let every study of prophecy stir your heart to worship Him, trust Him, and eagerly await the day when you will see Him face to face. ~ Jeff M Newman
