Calvin uses several of the Old Testament prophetic books to illustrate his belief that God confirms the words of the prophets with later actions in history. Can you believe that this is still true today? The answer depends on whether we can work out who are the prophets who disclose God’s purposes today? How do the prophets of today come? Could it be with unusual dress, living habits or arcane language? Do they incite others to take action? If so then what is that action and would we support it? Prophecy is not fortune telling. It is the forth telling and expression of God’s will. Who would you regard as a prophet of the twenty first century?
