Every Advent, we hear familiar Scriptures from the prophets: “The virgin will conceive…”, “Unto us a child is born…”, “But you, Bethlehem…”. We are told these prophecies predicted the birth of Jesus long before it happened. But what if the original audiences heard them differently? What if these words had a meaning and fulfillment in their own time?
“From Promise to Presence: Advent Prophecy Revisited” will invite us to step into the world of Israel’s prophets, to hear these texts as their first hearers would have heard them—and then to notice how the Gospel writers, looking back through the lens of Jesus’ life, death, and resurrection, re-read these same texts with fresh eyes. Far from weakening their power, this deeper understanding shows us how God’s promises keep unfolding in surprising, faithful ways. Together, we’ll discover why prophecy is not about fortune-telling but about God’s ongoing presence and hope for the world.
