Reasons for Preaching Predictive Prophecy

Mark Snoeberger has a good post on the advantages of preaching predictive prophecy here. In short he supplies four reasons. Make sure you use the link to read the entire post with explanations related to each point.
  • Preaching predictive prophecy keeps the present in proper perspective. 
  • Preaching predictive prophecy keeps our affections properly aligned. 
  • Preaching predictive prophecy keeps the climax of history in view.
  • Preaching predictive prophecy keeps the mission of the church intact. 
I would add one further point. About a quarter of the Bible consists of prophetic passages. If one is to preach the whole counsel of Scripture, you simply cannot ignore prophetic texts.
