Offensive Prophecy

The sermon explores the challenging and potentially offensive nature of apocalyptic imagery in scripture, particularly in Daniel 7, comparing its surreal and disturbing elements to various art movements like surrealism and horror genres, while emphasizing its scriptural significance and cultural relevance to Adventist identity.

It highlights how these vivid images intrigue and horrify, confronting modern sensibilities, yet serve to address real-world evils and personal struggles, urging believers to face fears and live with integrity.

Ultimately, it balances the stark realism of apocalyptic imagery with the hope, love, and grace offered through Jesus, encouraging a life of faith and courage amidst life's challenges.
