Welcome to our

our plodcast episode 81. Thanks for joining us. A few episodes ago I mentioned

something in passing that I then subsequently developed in a blog post and I wanted to

circle back around and talk about it a little bit. I want to talk about when is the prophetic payout because there are two different approaches

to prophecy.

There's two different and these prophecies can be

biblical prophecies or interpretive

interpretations of biblical prophecies or they can be secular prophecies of the

kind that environmentalists make. If we don't, um,

if we don't cut our carbon emissions within three years we're all going to die.

That is a secular prophecy.

But it's not enough to say that something, someone is being prophetic or someone is making

a prophecy or someone is making a prophecy or someone is making a prediction because we have to

divide it into two categories. There are two kinds of prophets, two kinds of prophecy listeners,

prophecy hearers, two kinds of prophetic audiences.

In 1st Samuel 3, verse 11, you have a description of a biblical, prophetic audience. When this thing comes to pass then the ears of the

ears of those who hear of it will tingle. The payout, in a biblical understanding of prophecy, the payout is the emotional

payout is at the time of fulfillment. When you see this word come to pass, you go, whoa, that really

strikes you. It's Simian in the temple taking the baby Jesus in his arms or Anna coming by and and

speaking of the arrival of the Messiah.

So you are blessed in the payout.

You're blessed in the fulfillment.
