Though the prophets are harsh in their critique and challenging to read, they point repeatedly to the coming of the Messiah. |

What Do the Prophets Say about the End Times? When most people think of prophets, they think about prediction of events that will happen in the future. But did you know?

But that small fraction of predictive prophecy presents us with some of the Bible's greatest interpretive challenges. |
