Many Psalms are more than songs. They are inspired prophecies. This week's lesson will look at two of the prophetic themes found in the Psalms: The House of the Lord, and the Messiah.

God's prophecies are founded on His love, and desire to reconcile humanity. Though we are not all called to be prophets, what can we learn from the preparation of those, like Samuel and Isaiah, who have been called?

The sacrificial system of the Old Testament is key to unlocking many prophetic symbols. So, what can we learn from the sacrifice of animals in the OT? What is the significance of the Passover lamb? How does this all relate to the Lamb of God?

This study will delve into the role of nations in prophecy. What was revealed by Nebuchadnezzar’s dream? What did God share with Daniel and John about the future of our world's nations?

Were "nations" part of God's plan for humanity? We will explore the rise of nations and kings, and God's call to Abram in this week's lesson study.

Marriage is used as a symbol, or metaphor, for our relationship to God. So, what can we learn from the literal and symbolic mentions of marriage in scripture?

What is the principle of "First Mention"? This lesson will take a closer look at how the context provided by the "first mention" of themes found in Genesis will shape our understanding as the same themes are repeated throughout the Bible.

This week's lesson will address some of the big-picture principles of studying biblical prophecy. Does God face any challenges in revealing prophecy? Why does God use symbols? We will also look at His use of prophets, and Jesus as the center of divine revelation.
