THE PROPHETIC ANOINTING FOR END TIMES
"The Prophetic Anointing for End Times" refers to the belief in a special empowerment by the Holy Spirit granted to individuals to prophesy or speak forth messages from God, especially regarding the times leading up to the end of the world as described in Christian eschatology. This anointing is seen as a divine enablement to understand and communicate God's purposes and warnings for the future.
Biblical Basis for the Prophetic Anointing in End Times:
1. Joel 2:28-29 (ESV): "And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my Spirit on all flesh; your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, and your young men shall see visions. Even on the male and female servants in those days I will pour out my Spirit."
2. Acts 2:17-18 (ESV): "And in the last days it shall be, God declares, that I will pour out my Spirit on all flesh, and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams; even on my male servants and female servants in those days I will pour out my Spirit, and they shall prophesy."
3. Revelation 19:10b (ESV): "...For the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy."
4. 1 Corinthians 12:7-11 (ESV): "To each is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the common good. For to one is given through the Spirit the utterance of wisdom, and to another the utterance of knowledge according to the same Spirit, to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healing by the one Spirit, to another the working of miracles, to another prophecy, to another the ability to distinguish between spirits, to another various kinds of tongues, to another the interpretation of tongues. All these are empowered by one and the same Spirit, who apportions to each one individually as he wills."
5. 1 Thessalonians 5:19-21 (ESV): "Do not quench the Spirit. Do not despise prophecies, but test everything; hold fast what is good."
6. Matthew 24:14 (ESV): "And this gospel of the kingdom will be proclaimed throughout the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come."
These verses highlight the pouring out of the Holy Spirit in the last days, empowering believers to prophesy, discern spirits, and understand the signs of the times. The prophetic anointing is seen as a vital aspect of God's preparation of His people for the culmination of history and the return of Jesus Christ.
