A book by Mark J S Hunter
Prophetic Harmony
The One Story Behind Biblical Prophecy
From Genesis to the prophets, from Jesus to Paul and Revelation, Mark J S Hunter traces the one story running through the Bible: God keeps His word, history belongs to Him, and every promise finds its centre in Jesus Christ.
Prophecy is not ultimately about the future. It is about the faithfulness of God.
— Prophetic Harmony
How do the Bible's prophecies fit together?
Biblical prophecy is often treated as a puzzle to solve, a timeline to defend, or a headline to decode. Prophetic Harmony invites readers into a quieter and more faithful journey through the whole counsel of Scripture.
From Genesis to the prophets, from Jesus to Paul and Revelation, Mark J S Hunter traces the one story running through the Bible: God keeps His word, history belongs to Him, and every promise finds its centre in Jesus Christ.
For Christians who love Scripture but feel overwhelmed by competing interpretations, this book distinguishes what can be written in ink from what should remain in pencil. The result is deeper confidence in God's Word, stronger hope in His promises, and worship before the King who came and will come again.
What's inside
-
Part One · Chapters 1–10
The Prophetic Portrait
Establishing why God gives prophecy, how it works, and following the prophetic thread through Scripture until the picture of the coming King and His Kingdom begins to emerge.
-
Part Two · Chapters 11–14
The Gathering and the Wrath
The rapture, resurrection, coming of Christ, seals and trumpets. This is where the passages we've accumulated begin to be placed alongside one another and the distinction between tribulation and wrath becomes increasingly important.

Part Three · Chapters 15–19
The Final Conflict
The Dragon, Beast, Antichrist, Abomination, Great Tribulation, Babylon, Armageddon and ultimately the visible return of Jesus. This is where the prophetic threads should converge most dramatically.
-
Part Four · Chapter 20
The King and His Kingdom
The final judgement, restoration, new creation and God's dwelling with humanity.
