Lesson 11 (June 6-12), The Bible and ProphecyHis

Historicism and Prophecy

  4. Is there a delay in the final fulfilment of Dan 2? 
The Year-Day Principle
  1. Why is it necessary to have such a thing as a scale, whether for maps or for time charts?
  2. What makes us think that unrelated texts for local events can provide the time-scale for apocalyptic prophecies?
  3. How do we know when any prophecy is using symbolic time?
Identifying the Little Horn
  1. Why is it important to identify the Little Horn precisely?
  2. Can there be more than one  fulfilment of the Little Horn?
  3. Can it be an individual? Can it be me?
The Investigative Judgement
  1. Are Adventist scholars the best on Daniel and Revelation?
  2. Why does it matter when the judgement is?
  3. Why was the book of Daniel not interpreted properly earlier?
Typology As Prophecy
  1. If only Bible writers can identify antitypes, how can we interpret prophecies not fulfilled in their lifetime?
  2. Can there be more than one antitype?
  3. How did the Israelites miss the typology of the sanctuary, or did they not?
