Catechism Class - Session 6 – Prophetic Books (Reader Zachary Armstrong)
In this session we will be exploring what are termed the prophetic books of the Bible. Again, the majority of these are in the Old Testament, with 12 minor prophets and 4 major prophets who all foresaw Christ’s coming and the life of His New Covenant Church in different ways. In the New Testament, The Revelation (Apocalypse) written by St. John the Evangelist is the only prophetic book, which tells of the life of the Church on earth and in heaven, culminating in the second coming of Christ in the future. We will explore the role of prophets and prophecy, as well as establish a basic understanding of key passages from the Old Testament prophets that we can see fulfilled in the life of Christ.
